Answer:x = 1

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of simultaneous equations is expressed as

3x - 5y = - 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

2x + y = 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2

The first step is to decide on which variable to eliminate. Let us eliminate x. Then we would multiply both rows by numbers which would make the coefficients of x to be equal in both rows.

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

6x - 10y = - 4

6x + 3y = 9

Subtracting, it becomes

- 13y = - 13

y = - 13/- 13 = 1

The next step is to substitute y = 1 into any of the equations to determine x.

Substituting y = 1 into equation 2, it becomes

2x + 1 = 3

2x = 3 - 1 = 2

x = 2/2 = 1

Answer:

see explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the null hypothesis is that the PCB survives against the alternate that the PCB 'does not survive'. The test says that the PCB will survice if it is classified as 'good'; or, it will not survive if it is classifies as 'bad'.

a. The Type II error is the error committed when a PCB which cannot actually survive is classified as 'good'.

b. Therefore P(Type II error) = P(The PCB is classified as 'good' | PCB does not survives) = 0.03.
