3x = -y + 12 2x + 3y = -6

Answer:

3x=-y+12

2x+3y=-6

collecting the like terms we have

3x+y=12

2x+3y=-6

to solve this simultaneous equation, we use substitution method

we make y the subject in equation one:

y=12-3x

then we put y=12-3x into 2x-3y=-6 in equation two

2x+3(12-3x)=-6

2x+36-9x=-6

-7x+36=-6

-7x=-6-36

-7x=-42

x=-42÷-7

x=6

then we put x=6 in y=12-3x:

y=12-3x

y=12-3(6)

y=12-18

y=-6

supervisor records the repair cost for 25 randomly selected dryers. A sample mean of $93.36 and standard deviation of $19.95 are

Simora [160]

<h2><u>Answer with explanation:</u></h2>

The confidence interval for population mean (when population standard deviation is unknown) is given by :-

$\overline{x}-t^*\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}< \mu$

, where n= sample size

$\overline{x}$ = Sample mean

s= sample size

t* = Critical value.

Given : n= 25

Degree of freedom : $df=n-1=24$

$\overline{x}= \$93.36$

$s=\ $19.95$

Significance level for 98% confidence interval : $\alpha=1-0.98=0.02$

Using t-distribution table ,

Two-tailed critical value for 98% confidence interval :

$t^*=t_{\alpha/2,\ df}=t_{0.01,\ 24}=2.4922$

⇒ The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval = 2.4922

Then, the 95% confidence interval would be :-

$93.36-(2.4922)\dfrac{19.95}{\sqrt{25}}< \mu$

$=93.36-9.943878< \mu$

$=83.416122< \mu$

Hence, the 98% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the dryers. = $83.4161$
