Answer:

This system has infinite solutions and it would be much easier to solve it by elimination but substitution it is.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+3y=9

-x+y=3

Isolate either x or y in any of the equations. I'll go with the second.

y = 3+x

Now substitute this for y in the first equation.

-3x+3(3+x)=9

Distribute the 3

-3x+9+3x=9

Combine like terms:

9=9

0=0

It's infinite

Answer:

(a) The probability that Y₂₀ exceeds 1000 is 3.91 × 10⁻⁶.

(b) n = 28.09

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable Yₙ is defined as the total numbers of dollars paid in n years.

It is provided that Yₙ can be approximated by a Gaussian distribution, also known as Normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation of Yₙ are:

$\mu_{Y_{n}}=40n\\\sigma_{Y_{n}}=\sqrt{100n}$

(a)

For n = 20 the mean and standard deviation of Y₂₀ are:

$\mu_{Y_{n}}=40n=40\times20=800\\\sigma_{Y_{n}}=\sqrt{100n}=\sqrt{100\times20}=44.72\\$

Compute the probability that Y₂₀ exceeds 1000 as follows:

$P(Y_{n}>1000)=P(\frac{Y_{n}-\mu_{Y_{n}}}{\sigma_{Y_{n}}}>\frac{1000-800}{44.72})\\=P(Z> 4.47)\\=1-P(Z$

**Use a z table for probability.

Thus, the probability that Y₂₀ exceeds 1000 is 3.91 × 10⁻⁶.

(b)

It is provided that P (Yₙ > 1000) > 0.99.

$P(Y_{n}>1000)=0.99\\1-P(Y_{n}$

The value of z for which P (Z < z) = 0.01 is 2.33.

Compute the value of n as follows:

$z=\frac{Y_{n}-\mu_{Y_{n}}}{\sigma_{Y_{n}}}\\2.33=\frac{1000-40n}{\sqrt{100n}}\\2.33=\frac{100}{\sqrt{n}}-4\sqrt{n} \\2.33=\frac{100-4n}{\sqrt{n}} \\5.4289=\frac{(100-4n)^{2}}{n}\\5.4289=\frac{10000+16n^{2}-800n}{n}\\5.4289n=10000+16n^{2}-800n\\16n^{2}-805.4289n+10000=0$
