Answer:

(b) (-3, 2, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to the system of equations will satisfy every equation. If it fails to satisfy any equation, it is not a solution.

<h3>Strategy</h3>

The system of equations does not seem to lend itself to simple solution by substitution or elimination. Hence, a reasonable strategy for finding the answer is to <em>try the offered choices</em>. Of course, a calculator can be used to find the answer almost as quickly.

<h3>Check</h3>

Using the third equation, we can check the answer choices fairly easily. That equation involves the least number of arithmetic operations. Substituting for (x, y, z), we have ...

a) 3(1) -(11) -(5) = -13 ≠ -6

b) 3(-3) -(2) -(-5) = -6 . . . . . . a potential solution

c) 3(1) -(8) -(0) = -5 ≠ -6

d) 3(-1) -(3) -(4) = -10 ≠ -6

The only viable choice is (-3, 2, -5).

<em>Check</em>

In the other two equations, we have for this solution, ...

2(-3) -2(2) +(-5) = -15 . . . . works in the first equation

6(-3) -3(2) -(-5) = -18 . . . . works in the second equation

The following data gives the speeds (in mph), as measured by radar, of 10 cars traveling north on I-15. 76 72 80 68 76 74 71 78

____ [38]

Answer:

71.123 mph ≤ μ ≤ 77.277 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that the speed of all cars traveling on this highway have a normal distribution and we can only know the mean and the standard deviation of the sample, the confidence interval for the mean is calculated as:

$m-t_{a/2,n-1}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ ≤ μ ≤ $m+t_{a/2,n-1}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

Where m is the mean of the sample, s is the standard deviation of the sample, n is the size of the sample, μ is the mean speed of all cars, and $t_{a/2,n-1}$ is the number for t-student distribution where a/2 is the amount of area in one tail and n-1 are the degrees of freedom.

the mean and the standard deviation of the sample are equal to 74.2 and 5.3083 respectively, the size of the sample is 10, the distribution t- student has 9 degrees of freedom and the value of a is 10%.

So, if we replace m by 74.2, s by 5.3083, n by 10 and $t_{0.05,9}$ by 1.8331, we get that the 90% confidence interval for the mean speed is:
