Let x be the cost of 1 shirt and y be the cost of 1 scarf.

Since, 3 shirts and 2 scarves cost $94, we have,

3x + 2y = 94

Since the number of unknowns is greater than the number of equations (2 > 1), the above system has infinitely many solutions.

If t is the cost of 1 scarf, then

3x + 2t = 94

3x = 94 - 2t

x = $\frac{94-2t}{3}$

For different values for t, we will get different values for x.

Set t = 2.

Then, x = $\frac{94-2(2)}{3}$

= $\frac{94-4}{3}$

= $\frac{90}{3}$

= 30

So, if the cost of 1 scarf is $2, then the cost of 1 shirt is $30.

The life in hours of a thermocouple used in a furnace is known to be approximately normally distributed, with standard deviation

Effectus [21]

Answer:

62 is the minimum sample size needed

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the population is approximately normally distributed so we will use a z-score for 95% confidence, which is 1.96. We are given the population standard deviation of σ = 20, and are given that the error should be 5 or less hours. The fact that it gives us sample data is irrelevant since we are told the population is approximately normally distributed and are given the population standard deviation.
