For this case we have the following system of equations:

$x-3y = -13\\5x + 7y = 34$

From the first equation we clear "x":

$x = -13 + 3y$

We substitute in the second equation:

$5 (-13 + 3y) + 7y = 34$

We apply distributive property:

$-65 + 15y + 7y = 34$

We add similar terms:

$-65 + 22y = 34$

We add 65 to both sides:

$22y = 34 + 65\\22y = 99$

We divide between 22 on both sides:

$y = \frac {99} {22}\\y = \frac {9} {2}$

We look for the value of the variable "x":

$x = -13 + 3 \frac {9} {2}\\x = -13 + \frac {27} {2}\\x = \frac {-26 + 27} {2}\\x = \frac {1} {2}$

Thus, the solution of the system is:

$(x, y): (\frac {1} {2}, \frac {9} {2})$

ANswer:

$(x, y): (\frac {1} {2}, \frac {9} {2})$

Yuto and Lian are at train stations 1,880 kilometers apart. Yuto boards a train heading east at an average speed of 220 kilomete

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

For the answer to the question above, we'll have to use the formula for velocity which is v =<u> d
</u> t and d = vt

Since the total distance is given, therefore we can get the time and it will look like this.

220t + 250t = 1880
<u>470t</u> = <u>1880
</u>470 470
the problem indicates that the train runs 250kph
Let's substitute:

d = 250(4)

the distance traveled by Lian is 1000km

mihalych1998 [28]

The map tells you 1 inch = 0.5 miles.

Multiply each dimension on the map by 0.5 to get the miles, then add them together:

House to Sports store = 2 x 0.5 = 1 mile.

Sports store to Jay's house = 3.75 x 0.5 = 1.875 miles.

Jay's house to park = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 inches x 0.5 = 1 mile.

Total distance = 1 + 1.875 + 1 = 3.875 miles.

"Majesty Video Production Inc. wants the mean length of its advertisements to be 30 seconds. Assume the distribution of ad lengt

Westkost [7]

Answer:

a) $\bar X \sim N(\mu=30, \frac{2}{\sqrt{16}})$

b) $Se=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{16}}=0.5$

c) $P(\bar X >31.25)=0.006=0.6\%$

d) $P(\bar X >28.25)=0.9997=99.97\%$

e) $P(28.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Let X the random variabl length of advertisements produced by Majesty Video Production Inc. We know from the problem that the distribution for the random variable X is given by:

$X\sim N(\mu =30,\sigma =2)$

We take a sample of n=16 . That represent the sample size.

a. What can we say about the shape of the distribution of the sample mean time?

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is also normal and is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

$\bar X \sim N(\mu=30, \frac{2}{\sqrt{16}})$

b. What is the standard error of the mean time?

The standard error is given by this formula:

$Se=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{16}}=0.5$

c. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 31.25 seconds?

In order to answer this question we can use the z score in order to find the probabilities, the formula given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X- \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(\bar X >31.25)=1-P(\bar X$

d. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 28.25 seconds?

In order to answer this question we can use the z score in order to find the probabilities, the formula is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X- \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(\bar X >28.25)=1-P(\bar X$

e. What percent of the sample means will be greater than 28.25 but less than 31.25 seconds?"

We want this probability:

$P(28.25$
