Answer:

x = 7, y = 10.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x - 3.5

-2y = -x - 14

Multiply the first equation by 2:

2y = 4x - 7

Now add this equation to the second one:

0 = 3x - 21

3x = 21

x = 7.

Now substitute x = 7 in the first equation to fund the value of y:

y = 2(7) - 3.5

y = 10.5.

Answer:

x=7

y=10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can apply the method of substitution, as you can see below:

- Substitute $y=2x-3.5$ into the other equation and solve fo x:

$x-2(2x-3.5)=-14\\x-4x+7=-14\\x=7$

- Substitute the value of x obtain into the first equation, then the value of y is:

$y=2(7)-3.5\\y=10.5$

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval is $52561.13 < \mu < 57540.8$

Confidence interval for the population men between <u>$52561.13</u> up to <u>$57540.8</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n = 25$

The sample mean is $\= x = \$ 55,051$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = \$ 7,568$

Given that the confidence level is 90% then the level of confidence is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = 100 -90$

$\alpha = 10\%$

$\alpha = 0.10$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table the values is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } * \frac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n} }$

substituting values

$E = 1.645 * \frac{ 7568}{ \sqrt{ 25} }$

$E = 2489.9$

The 90% confidence interval is mathematically evaluated as

$\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E$

substituting values

$55051 - 2489.8 < \mu < 55051 + 2489.8$

$52561.13 < \mu < 57540.8$
