A soft-drink machine is regulated so that the amount of drink dispensed is approximately normally distributed with standard deviation equal to 0.15 deciliter. Find a 95 % confidence level for the mean of all drinks dispensed by this machine if a random sample of 36 drinks has an average content of 2.25 deciliters.

The 95 % confidence level for the mean of all drinks dispensed by this machine is between 2.2010 deciliters and 2.2990 deciliters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .

So it is z with a pvalue of , so

Now, find M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 2.25 - 0.049 = 2.2010 deciliters

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 2.25 + 0.049 = 2.2990 deciliters

The 95 % confidence level for the mean of all drinks dispensed by this machine is between 2.2010 deciliters and 2.2990 deciliters.

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
