The sum of a number and twice another number is 17. The sum of twice the first number and the second number is 4. What are the two numbers?
a) define the variables

b) write a system of equations

c) solve by elimination

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a + 2b = 17

Also,

2a + b = 4

By adding the above expressions we get,

a + 2b + 2a + b = 17 + 4

3a + 3b = 21.

3 (a + b) = 21

a + b = 21/3

a + b = 7 Let us take 'b' = 10

a + 10 = 7

a = 7 - 10

a = -3

Now let's check by verifying by putting a = -3 and b = 10 in the previous expressions

a + 2b = 17

-3 + (2 × 10) = 17

-3 + 20 = 17

17 = 17

2a + b = 4

(2 × -3) + 10 = 4

-6 + 10 = 4

4 = 4

Therefore, a = -3 and b = 10 [(-3,10)] is the solution.

Suppose that five graduating seniors on a college basketball team receive the following first-

player did not receive a contract offer): 0 0 0 0 $10000000

The college claimed that the average senior on this basketball team received a $2 million contract offer.

Explain how the college came up with this number and why this statement may be misleading.

Answers

Answer:

the average of the distribution is 2 millionthe distribution is highly skewed

Step-by-step explanation:

The "average offer" is the average of the 5 offers: 4 that are 0 and 1 that is 10 million.

__

That will be misleading because the average is not very representative of the actual distribution. The actual distribution of offers is highly skewed toward lower values.

3x+2y=4,6x+3y=2 Solve the systems of equations by substitution

Answers

Answer:

x = -8/3, y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2y=4   so x = (4-2y)/3

6x+3y=2

substiute x into the second equation

6((4-2y)/3) +3y = 2

2(4-2y) + 3y = 2

8 - 4y + 3y = 2

-y = -6

y = 6

Replace y into the first equation

3x + 2 (6) = 4

3x +12 = 4

3x = -8

x = -8/3

A door delivery florist wishes to estimate the proportion of people in his city that will purchase his flowers. Suppose the true proportion is 0.05. If 408 are sampled, what is the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.03?

Answers

Answer:

 The probability is  [tex]P( | \^ p - p| > 0.03) =0.9945[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population proportion is  [tex]p = 0.05[/tex]

    The sample size is  n =  408

Generally the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is mathematically represented as

       [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p (1- p)}{n} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{ 0.05 (1- 0.05)}{408} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]\sigma = 0.0108[/tex]

Generally the probability that the sample proportion will differ from the population proportion by greater than 0.03 is mathematically represented as

        [tex]P( | \^ p - p| > 0.03) = P( \frac{|\^ p - p | }{\sigma } > \frac{0.03}{0.0108} )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{|\^ p -p |}{\sigma }  =  |Z| (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ |\^ p -p | )[/tex]

So    

       [tex]P( | \^ p - p| > 0.03) = P( |Z|> 2.778 )[/tex]

=>   [tex]P( | \^ p - p| > 0.03) = P( Z < 2.778) - P(Z < -2.777)[/tex]

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  2.778  and  -2.778  is

     [tex]P( Z < 2.778) = 0.99727[/tex]

and

     [tex]P( Z < -2.778) = 0.0027347[/tex]

So

     [tex]P( | \^ p - p| > 0.03) = 0.99727 - 0.0027347[/tex]

=>  [tex]P( | \^ p - p| > 0.03) =0.9945[/tex]
