Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)

You have the equations...

2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14

To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...

2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28

Thus,

6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28

=========

-7y=-7

y=1

Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....

2x+(1)=7

2x+1=7
      -1  -1

2x=6

x=3

Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)

1. A sample consists of 75 TV sets purchased several years ago. The replacement times of those TV sets have a mean of 8.2 years.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

8.2+/-0.25

= ( 7.95, 8.45) years

the 95% confidence interval (a,b) = (7.95, 8.45) years

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 8.2 years

Standard deviation r = 1.1 years

Number of samples n = 75

Confidence interval = 95%

z value(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

8.2+/-1.96(1.1/√75)

8.2+/-1.96(0.127017059221)

8.2+/-0.248953436074

8.2+/-0.25

= ( 7.95, 8.45)

Therefore the 95% confidence interval (a,b) = (7.95, 8.45) years
