Answer:
The numbers are 5 and 4Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x
Let the second number be y
For the first equation
2x + 3y = 22
For the second equation
3x + 4y = 31
Multiply the first one by 3 and the second one by 2
That's
First equation
6x + 9y = 66
Second equation
6x + 8y = 62
Subtract the second equation from the first one
That's
6x - 6x + 9y - 8y = 66 - 62
y = 4Substitute y = 4 into 2x + 3y = 22
That's
2x + 3(4) = 22
2x = 22 - 12
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2
x = 5Hope this helps you

Answer:
its 3/4
Step-by-step explanation: i got it right trust me
The solution to the system of equations will be x= 9 / 2 and y= 3 / 4.
What is a system of equations?A finite set of equations for which common solutions are sought is referred to in mathematics as a set of simultaneous equations, often known as a system of equations or an equation system.
An equation is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.
The given equations are y=(3/ 2 )x-6 and y=(-9/2)x+21 to calculate the values of x and y using the substitution method.
Since both equations are equated to y, you just need to use substitution to create the equation below:
(3/ 2 )x-6 =(-9/2)x+21
Solve the equation for x:
(3/ 2 )x + (9/2)x = 27
x = 27 / 6 = 9 / 2
Plug x into any one of the given equations to find the value of y:
y=(3/ 2 )x-6
Solve for the value of y.
y=(3/2) x (9 / 2)-6
y = ( 27 / 4 ) - 6
y = ( 27 - 24 ) / 4
y = 3 / 4
Hence, the solution for the equation will be x = 9 / 2 and y = 3 / 4.

VW=40in. The radius of the circle is 25 inches. Find the length of CT.
Answer:
The answer is B. 40 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question starts by telling you that line VW is equal to 40 in. If you look at the picture you can see it is divided into 2 equal parts of 20 in each. If you look at line CT, you can see that there are the same marks meaning that those segments are also 20 in. That means that line CT and line VW are equal and that line CT is equal to 40 in.
The number of cars sold annually by used car salespeople is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 17. A random sample of 470 salespeople was taken and the mean number of cars sold annually was found to be 69. Find the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean
Answer: Estimate mean is between 67.463 and 70.537
Step-by-step explanation: A 95% Confidence interval of a sample mean:
mean ± [tex]z.\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
α = 1 - 0.95
α = 0.05
α/2 = 0.025
z-score of α/2 = 1.96
Knowing that mean = 69, sd = 17 and there were 470 salespeople in the sample:
69 ± [tex]1.96.\frac{17}{\sqrt{470} }[/tex]
69 ± [tex]1.96.\frac{17}{21.68}[/tex]
69 ± [tex]1.96.0.78[/tex]
69 ± 1.537
lower limit: 69 - 1.537 = 67.463
upper limit: 69 + 1.537 = 70.537
With a confidence of 95%, the estimate mean number of cars sold is between 67.463 and 70.537

The circle graph shows the percentage of numbered tiles in a box. If each numbered tile is equally likely to be pulled from the box, what is the probability of pulling out a tile with a 6 on it? (Hint: Remember that percents are based out of 100% and probability is represented as a fraction of 100%)
Answer: [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From, the circle graph in the attachment below,
The percentage of portion taken by 6 (dark blue) = 20%
So, the probability of pulling out a tile with a 6 on it = percentage of portion taken by 6 (dark blue) = 20% [Probability can also be written as a percentage]
[tex]=\dfrac{20}{100}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] [we divide a percentage by 100 to convert it into fraction]
Hence, the probability of pulling out a tile with a 6 on it = [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]

A manufacturer knows that on average 20% of the electric toasters produced require repairs within 1 year after they are sold. When 20 toasters are randomly selected, find appropriate numbers x and y such that (a) the probability that at least x of them will require repairs is less than 0.5; (b) the probability that at least y of them will not require repairs is greater than 0.8
Answer:
(a) The value of x is 5.
(b) The value of y is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X represent the number of electric toasters produced that require repairs within 1 year.
And the let the random variable Y represent the number of electric toasters produced that does not require repairs within 1 year.
The probability of the random variables are:
P (X) = 0.20
P (Y) = 1 - P (X) = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80
The event that a randomly selected electric toaster requires repair is independent of the other electric toasters.
A random sample of n = 20 toasters are selected.
The random variable X and Y thus, follows binomial distribution.
The probability mass function of X and Y are:
[tex]P(X=x)={20\choose x}(0.20)^{x}(1-0.20)^{20-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(Y=y)={20\choose y}(0.20)^{20-y}(1-0.20)^{y}[/tex]
(a)
Compute the value of x such that P (X ≥ x) < 0.50:
[tex]P (X \geq x) < 0.50\\\\1-P(X\leq x-1)<0.50\\\\0.50<P(X\leq x-1)\\\\0.50<\sum\limits^{x-1}_{0}[{20\choose x}(0.20)^{x}(1-0.20)^{20-x}][/tex]
Use the Binomial table for n = 20 and p = 0.20.
[tex]0.411=\sum\limits^{3}_{x=0}[b(x,20,0.20)]<0.50<\sum\limits^{4}_{x=0}[b(x,20,0.20)]=0.630[/tex]
The least value of x that satisfies the inequality P (X ≥ x) < 0.50 is:
x - 1 = 4
x = 5
Thus, the value of x is 5.
(b)
Compute the value of y such that P (Y ≥ y) > 0.80:
[tex]P (Y \geq y) >0.80\\\\P(Y\leq 20-y)>0.80\\\\P(Y\leq 20-y)>0.80\\\\\sum\limits^{20-y}_{y=0}[{20\choose y}(0.20)^{20-y}(1-0.20)^{y}]>0.80[/tex]
Use the Binomial table for n = 20 and p = 0.20.
[tex]0.630=\sum\limits^{4}_{y=0}[b(y,20,0.20)]<0.50<\sum\limits^{5}_{y=0}[b(y,20,0.20)]=0.804[/tex]
The least value of y that satisfies the inequality P (Y ≥ y) > 0.80 is:
20 - y = 5
y = 15
Thus, the value of y is 15.
Suppose the weather forecast calls for a 60% chance of rain each day for the next 3 days. What is the probability that it will NOT rain during the next 3 days
Answer:
Probability that it'll not rain during the next three days = 0.064
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let:
P(R) represent the probability that it'll rain each day
P(R') represent the probability that it'll not
[tex]P(R) = 60\%[/tex]
Required
Probability that it'll not rain during the next three days
From concept of probability;
[tex]P(R) + P(R') = 1[/tex]
Substitute 60% for P(R)
[tex]60\% + P(R') = 1[/tex]
Subtract 60% from both sides
[tex]60\% - 60\% + P(R') = 1 - 60\%[/tex]
[tex]P(R') = 1 - 60\%[/tex]
Convert % to decimal
[tex]P(R') = 1 - 0.6[/tex]
[tex]P(R') = 0.4[/tex]
The probability that it'll not rain during the next 3 days is:
[tex]P(R') * P(R') * P(R')[/tex]
[tex]P(R') * P(R') * P(R') =0.4 * 0.4 * 0.4[/tex]
[tex]P(R') * P(R') * P(R') = 0.064[/tex]

(2 points) Step F: For a randomly selected driver, are the events "driving while using a cell phone" and "having a traffic accident" independent events? Explain your answer. (2 points)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Regarding the reasons that traffic accidents occur:
28% are caused by distracted drivers using cell phones or texting
11% of the drivers' user their phones at any time
The probability of a driver having an accident is 5.26%
a)
DC = event that a randomly selected driver is using a cell phone.
P(DC)= 0.11
b)
TA = event that a randomly selected driver has a traffic accident.
P(TA)= 0.0526
c) and f)
If both events are related, i.e. dependent, then you would expect that the occurrence of one of these events will affect the probability of the other one. If they are not related, i.e. independent events, then their probabilities will not be affected by the occurrence of one or another:
If both events are independent P(TA|DC)= P(TA)
If they are dependent, then:
P(TA|DC)≠ P(TA)
P(TA|DC)= 0.28
P(TA)= 0.0526
As you can see the probability of the driver having an accident given that he was using the cell phone is different from the probability of the driver having an accident. This means that both events are related.
d) and e)
You have to calculate the probability that "the driver was distracted with the phone given that he had an accident", symbolically P(DC|TA)
P(DC|TA) = [tex]\frac{P(DCnTA)}{P(TA)}[/tex]
[tex]P(TA|DC)= \frac{P(TAnDC}{P(DC)}[/tex] ⇒ P(DC∩TA)= P(TA|DC)*P(DC)= 0.28 * 0.11= 0.0308
P(DC|TA) = [tex]\frac{0.0308}{0.0526}= 0.585= 0.59[/tex]

The mean of a normal distribution is 400 pounds. The standard deviation is 10 pounds. What is the probability of a weight between 415 pounds and the mean of 400 pounds
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(x_1 \le X \le x_2 ) = 0.4332[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 400[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 10[/tex]
The considered values are [tex]x_1 = 400 \to x_2 = 415[/tex]
Given that the weight follows a normal distribution
i.e [tex]\approx X (\mu , \sigma )[/tex]
Now the probability of a weight between 415 pounds and the mean of 400 pounds is mathematically as
[tex]P(x_1 \le X \le x_2 ) = P(\frac{x_1 - \mu }{\sigma } \le \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } \le \frac{x_2 - \mu }{\sigma } )[/tex]
So [tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma }[/tex] is equal to Z (the standardized value of X )
Hence we have
[tex]P(x_1 \le X \le x_2 ) = P(\frac{x_1 - \mu }{\sigma } \le Z \le \frac{x_2 - \mu }{\sigma } )[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(x_1 \le X \le x_2 ) = P(\frac{400 - 400 }{10 } \le Z \le \frac{415 - 400}{415 } )[/tex]
[tex]P(x_1 \le X \le x_2 ) = P(0\le Z \le 1.5 )[/tex]
[tex]P(x_1 \le X \le x_2 ) = P( Z < 1.5) - P( Z < 0)[/tex]
From the standardized normal distribution table [tex]P( Z< 1.5) = 0.9332[/tex] and
[tex]P( Z < 0) = 0.5[/tex]
So
[tex]P(x_1 \le X \le x_2 ) = 0.9332 - 0.5[/tex]
[tex]P(x_1 \le X \le x_2 ) = 0.4332[/tex]
NOTE : This above values obtained from the standardized normal distribution table can also be obtained using the P(Z) calculator at (calculator dot net).

Tristan wants to buy a car and has a choice between two different banks. One bank is offering a simple interest rate of 3% and the other bank is offering a rate of 2.5%
compounded annually. If Tristan decides to deposit $7,000 for 4 years, which bank would be the better deal?
Answer:
The better deal would be simple interest rate of 3%
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to calculate which bank would be the better deal If Trsitam decides to deposit $7,000 for 4 years, we would have to make the following calculation:
simple interest rate of 3%.
Therefore, I= P*r*t
=$7,000*3%*4
I=$840
FV= $7,000+$840
FV=7,840
compound interest rate of 2.5%
Therefore, FV=PV(1+r)∧n
FV=$7,000(1+0.25)∧4
FV=$17,089
The better deal would be simple interest rate of 3%

When a six sided die is rolled, the possible outcomes can be:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Even numbers are {2, 4, 6}
Odd Numbers are {1, 3, 5}
Probability of even numbers:

Probability of getting r successes out of n trials:
[tex]P(r) = _nC_r\times p^r q^{n-r}[/tex]
Probability of getting even numbers at most 5 times out of 7 is given as:
P(0) + P(1) +P(2) + P(3) +P(4) + P(5)
[tex]\Rightarrow _7C_0\times \frac{1}{2}^0 \frac{1}{2}^{7}+_7C_1\times \frac{1}{2}^1 \frac{1}{2}^{6}+_7C_2\times \frac{1}{2}^2 \frac{1}{2}^{5}+_7C_3\times \frac{1}{2}^3 \frac{1}{2}^{4}+_7C_4\times \frac{1}{2}^4 \frac{1}{2}^{3}+_7C_5\times \frac{1}{2}^5 \frac{1}{2}^{2}[/tex]

The proceeds from the short sale $80,000 is credited into your account. However, a few days later the market price of the stock jumps to $80 per share and your broker asks you close out your position immediately. What is your profit or loss from this transaction?
Answer:
Loss = $80000
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine if it's a profit or loss is simple.
He predicted the sugar cane stock to fall so he sold , but few days later the stock grew and went bullish.
He sold at$ 40 for 2000 shares
=$ 80000
But the stock went up to $80 per share that is gaining extra $40
So it was actually a loss.
The loss is =$40 * 2000
The loss = $80000

One stats class consists of 52 women and 28 men. Assume the average exam score on Exam 1 was 74 (σ = 10.43; assume the whole class is a population). A random sample of 16 students yielded an average of a 75 on the first exam (s=16). What is the z-score of the sample mean? Is this sample significantly different from the population? (Hint: Use the z-score formula for locating a sample mean)
Answer:
(A) What is the z- score of the sample mean?
The z- score of the sample mean is 0.0959
(B) Is this sample significantly different from the population?
No; at 0.05 alpha level (95% confidence) and (n-1 =79) degrees of freedom, the sample mean is NOT significantly different from the population mean.
Step -by- step explanation:
(A) To find the z- score of the sample mean,
X = 75 which is the raw score
¶ = 74 which is the population mean
S. D. = 10.43 which is the population standard deviation of/from the mean
Z = [X-¶] ÷ S. D.
Z = [75-74] ÷ 10.43 = 0.0959
Hence, the sample raw score of 75 is only 0.0959 standard deviations from the population mean. [This is close to the population mean value].
(B) To test for whether this sample is significantly different from the population, use the One Sample T- test. This parametric test compares the sample mean to the given population mean.
The estimated standard error of the mean is s/√n
S. E. = 16/√80 = 16/8.94 = 1.789
The Absolute (Calculated) t value is now: [75-74] ÷ 1.789 = 1 ÷ 1.789 = 0.559
Setting up the hypotheses,
Null hypothesis: Sample is not significantly different from population
Alternative hypothesis: Sample is significantly different from population
Having gotten T- cal, T- tab is found thus:
The Critical (Table) t value is found using
- a specific alpha or confidence level
- (n - 1) degrees of freedom; where n is the total number of observations or items in the population
- the standard t- distribution table
Alpha level = 0.05
1 - (0.05 ÷ 2) = 0.975
Checking the column of 0.975 on the t table and tracing it down to the row with 79 degrees of freedom;
The critical t value is 1.990
Since T- cal < T- tab (0.559 < 1.990), refute the alternative hypothesis and accept the null hypothesis.
Hence, with 95% confidence, it is derived that the sample is not significantly different from the population.
Use z scores to compare the given values. The tallest living man at one time had a height of 249 cm. The shortest living man at that time had a height of 120.2 cm. Heights of men at that time had a mean of 176.55 cm and a standard deviation of 7.23 cm. Which of these two men had the height that was more extreme?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Average height = 176.55 cm
Height of tallest man = 249 cm
Standard deviation = 7.23
z score of tallest man
= (249 - 176.55) / 7.23
= 10.02
Average height = 176.55 cm
Height of shortest man = 120.2 cm
Standard deviation = 7.23
z score of smallest man
= ( 176.55 - 120.2 ) / 7.23
= 7.79
Since Z - score of tallest man is more , his height was more extreme .
In the given figure, find AB, given thatAC = 14 andBC = 9.
Answer:
Given:
AC = 14 and BC = 9
AB = ?
Solution:
From the fig:
AC = AB + BC
Putting the values
14 = AB + 9
AB = 14 - 9
AB = 5
(you can also take AB = x or any other variable)
Step-by-step explanation:
A candidate for political office wants to determine if there is a difference in his popularity between men and women. To test the claim of this difference, he conducts a survey of voters. The sample contains 250 men and 250 women, of which 44% of the men and 52% of the women favor his candidacy. Do these values indicate a difference in popularity?Use a 0.01 significance level.
What are the hypothesis statements?
a) H0:pm=pw
HA:pm
b) H0:pm=pw
HA:pm>pw
c) H0:pm=pw
HA:pm≠pw
Answer:
c) H0:pm=pw
HA:pm≠pw
Step-by-step explanation:
We formulate our hypothesis as
H0: pm = pw " probability of men = probabilityof women" meaning there's no difference in the probabilityof the men and women in favor of his candidacy.
Alternate Hypothesis HA :pm≠pw " probability of men ≠ probabilityof women" meaning there's a difference in the probability of the men and women in favor of his candidacy.
the significance level α= 0.01
The test statistic under H0 is
Z = pm- pw/ √p`q` ( 1/n.m + 1/n.w)
pm= probability of men= 0.44
pw= probability of women = 0.52
p`= n.m pm+ n.w pw/ n.m + n.w
p`= 250 *0.44 + 250 *0.52/ 250 + 250
p`= 110 + 130 /500 = 240 /500 = 0.48
q`= 1- p`= 1-0.48= 0.52
Putting the values
Z= 0.44- 0.52/ √ 0.48 * 0.52
z= 0.08 / √0.2496
z= 0.08/ 0.4995
z= 0.1601
The critical region for α= 0.01 is Z= ± 2.58
Conclusion: Since the calculated z = 0.1601 does not fall in the critical region , so we accept the null hypothesis H0:pm=pw and conclude that the data does not appear to indicate that the tow probabilities are different.
Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical value, there values do not indicate a difference in popularity.
At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the proportions are equal, that is, their subtraction is of 0, hence:
[tex]H_0: p_w - p_m = 0[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if they are different, that is, their subtraction is different of 0, hence:
[tex]H_1: p_w - p_m \neq 0[/tex]
The proportions and standard errors are:
[tex]p_m = 0.44, s_m = \sqrt{\frac{0.44(0.56)}{250}} = 0.0314[/tex]
[tex]p_w = 0.52, s_w = \sqrt{\frac{0.52(0.48)}{250}} = 0.0316[/tex]
For the distribution of the differences, the mean and the standard error are given by:
[tex]\overline{p} = p_w - p_m = 0.52 - 0.44 = 0.08[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_m^2 + s_w^2} = \sqrt{0.0314^2 + 0.0316^2} = 0.0445[/tex]
The test statistic is given by:
[tex]z = \frac{\overline{p} - p}{s}[/tex]
In which p = 0 is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
Hence:
[tex]z = \frac{0.08}{0.0445}[/tex]
[tex]z = 1.795[/tex]
The critical value, for a two-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is different of a value, with a significance level of 0.01, is of [tex]|z^{\ast}| = 2.5758[/tex]
Since the absolute value of the test statistic is less than the critical value, there values do not indicate a difference in popularity.
