Answer:

The two numbers are 24 and 32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the variable x

3x : 4x, would be a ratio of 3/4

now subtract 4 from both

3x - 4 : 4x - 4 = 5/7

3x-4 / 4x-4 = 5/7

cross multiplication

7(3x - 4) = 5(4x - 4)

21x - 28 = 20x - 20

x = 8

Two numbers are;

3x, 4x

3(8), 4(8)

24, 32

24/32 = 3/4

20/28 = 5/7

Q8 Q3.) Solve the system by the substitution method.

Recall that (x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2. So we can add twice the first equation to the second one to get

x^2+y^2+2xy=10+2\cdot3\iff(x+y)^2=16\implies x+y=\pm4

Since xy=3, we have y=\dfrac3x (x\neq0) so

x+y=x+\dfrac3x=\pm4\implies x^2\mp4x+3=0

If x+y=4, then

x^2-4x+3=(x-3)(x-1)=0\implies x=3,x=1\implies y=1,y=3

If x+y=-4, then

x^2+4x+3=(x+1)(x+3)=0\implies x=-1,x=-3\implies y=-3,y=-1

So the solution set is

(x,y)\in\{(-3,1),(1,3),(-1,-3),(-3,-1)\}

Suppose that Y takes on the values {0, 1, 2, 3}, each with probability 1/4. Take a random sample of 5 numbers from this distribu
arsen [322]

Answer:

The total number of samples that give this outcome is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Y takes values in {0,1,2,3}, For us to have that Y_1+Y_2+Y_3+Y_4+Y_5=1 implies that all of them are zero but one. The one that is non-zero necessarily is equal to 1. To calculate the number of samples that give this outcome is equivalent to counting the total number of ways in which we can pick the i-index such that Y_i=1. Note that in this case we can either choose Y1 to be 1, Y2 to be 1 and so on. So, the total number of samples that give this outcome is 5.
