Sorry im a little late but here's how i did it.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: (17.42, 20.78)
Step-by-step explanation:
As per given , we have
Sample size : n= 9
years
Population standard deviation is not given , so it follows t-distribution.
Sample standard deviation : s= 1.5 years
Confidence level : 99% or 0.99
Significance level : 
Degree of freedom : df= 8 (∵df =n-1)
Critical value : 
The 99% confidence interval for the population mean would be :-


Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (17.42, 20.78) .
Ypu would subtract Y from the other points Y

Then you would subtract X from the ither points X.

Then you would put the Y value over the X

Then simiplify
Answer:
{x,y} = {5,6}
Step-by-step explanation:
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] x = y - 1
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [2]
[2] 2•(y -1) - y = 4
[2] y = 6
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] y = 6
// By now we know this much :
x = y-1
y = 6
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = (6)-1 = 5
