Answer:

x = 15/17 , y = 11/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y = 1 - (2 x)/5 | (equation 1)

{y = 3 x - 2 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{(2 x)/5 + y = 1 | (equation 1)

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{(2 x)/5 + y = 1 | (equation 2)

Add 2/15 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+(17 y)/15 = 11/15 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 15:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+17 y = 11 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 17:

{-(3 x) + y = -2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{-(3 x)+0 y = -45/17 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -3:

{x+0 y = 15/17 | (equation 1)

v0 x+y = 11/17 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 15/17 , y = 11/17

Kevin had a total of $320 to spend while shopping. He had spent $156 on video games. He wants to buy caps that are on sale for $

zloy xaker [14]

Maximum number of caps that Kevin can buy is 10.

Solution:

Total money for shopping = $320

Amount spent for video game = $156

Remaining amount that Kevin had = $320 – $156

= $164

Cost of each cap including tax = $15

$\text{Number of caps can buy }=\frac{\text { Remaining amount that Kevin had }}{\text { cost of each cap }}$

$$=\frac{164}{15}$

$$=10\frac{14}{15}$

Maximum number of caps that Kevin can buy is 10.

Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

a) $t_{crit}= 1.34$

b) $t_{crit}=-2.539$

c) $t_{crit}=\pm 2.228$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

The significance level given is $\alpha=0.1$ and the degrees of freedom are given by:

$df = n-1= 15$

Since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value on the t distirbution who accumulates 0.1 of the area in the right and we got:

$t_{crit}= 1.34$

Part b

The significance level given is $\alpha=0.01$ and the degrees of freedom are given by:

$df = n-1= 20-1=19$

Since we are conducting a left tailed test we need to find a critical value on the t distirbution who accumulates 0.01 of the area in the left and we got:

$t_{crit}=-2.539$

Part c

The significance level given is $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ and the degrees of freedom are given by:

$df = n-1= 11-1=10$

Since we are conducting a two tailed test we need to find a critical value on the t distirbution who accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail and we got:

$t_{crit}=\pm 2.228$
