Answer:

If you look over the steps you can see that until 4x + x + 3 = 18, evertything is dandy. But the step after that 4x + x =21 seems a bit fishy.

Think about it they subtract 3 from both sides so the first side is correct

4x + x, but they added 3 to the other side:

(4x+x+3) - 3 = 18 - 3\\4x+x = 15

not

4x+x = 21

Then we solve for 4x + x = 15

5x = 15\\x = \frac{15}{5} \\x = 3

To solve for y we use :

y = x+3

y = 3+3 = 6

so (3,6) is the right answer

A medical devices company wants to know the number of hours its MRI machines are used per day. A previous study found a standard
4vir4ik [10]

The company has to study 199 machines.

In statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a wider range.

It is given that;

Margin of error E = 0.7

Confidence interval 98% = 1-0.98 = 0.02

Standard deviation = 6 hours

Number of MRI machines needed per day n, = [(z alpha/2 * SD)/E]²

Z alpha/2 = 1.645 at alpha = 0.1

Inputting these values into n we have that

[(1.645*6)/0.7]²

= 14.1²

= 198.81 is approximately equal to 199

The company has to study 199 machines.
