Answer:

Sample mean = 7.1

Margin of error = 0.465

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for confidence interval is;

CI = x¯ ± zE

Where;

x¯ is sample mean

z is critical value at confidence level

E is margin of error.

z for 99% Cl is 2.58

We are told the CI is 5.9 to 8.3.

Thus;

5.9 = x¯ - 2.58E - - - - (1)

8.3 = x¯ + 2.58E - - - - (2)

Add both equations together to get;

14.2 = 2x¯

x¯ = 14.2/2

x¯ = 7.1

Put 7.1 for x¯ in eq 1 to get;

5.9 = 7.1 - 2.58E

7.1 - 5.9 = 2.58E

E = 1.2/2.58

E = 0.465

A and b are positive integers. Find <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-2a%2B3b" id="TexFormula1" title="-2a+3b" alt="-2a+3b" ali
lord [1]

A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.

From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.

Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.

Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.

Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.

Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.

-2(2)+3(3)=?

-4+9=?

5

Sorry about having to use this ^ symbol, the equation maker is not working.
