Let
x------> Cathy's<span> ages
</span>y------> Tony's ages

we know that
x+y=65-----> x=65-y-----> equation 1
y-8=(2/5)*(x-8)-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
y-8=(2/5)*(65-y-8)---> y-8=22.8-0.4y----> y+0.4y=22.8+8
1.4y=30.8-----> y=22
x=65-y-----> x=65-22----> x=43

the answer is
Cathy's ages is 43 years 
Tony's ages is 22 years

What is the 23rd term of the arithmetic sequence where a1 = 8 and a9 = 48?
yKpoI14uk [10]
a_1=8
a_2=a_1+d=8+d
a_3=a_2+d=(8+d)+d=8+2d
a_4=a_3+d=(8+d)+2d=8+3d
...
a_9=8+8d=48\implies d=5
a_{10}=8+9d
...
a_{23}=8+22d=118

A researcher records the repair cost for 8 randomly selected washers. A sample mean of $60.46 and standard deviation of $18.36 a
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The critical value is T = 1.895.

The 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $48.159 and $72.761

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 8 - 1 = 6

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 6 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.895, which is the critical value.

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 1.895\frac{18.36}{\sqrt{8}} = 12.301

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 60.46 - 12.301 = $48.159

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 60.46 + 12.301 = $72.761

The 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the washers is between $48.159 and $72.761
