Answer:

x=2, y=1. (2, 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x-5

6x+3y=15

-----------------

6x+3(3x-5)=15

6x+9x-15=15

15x-15=15

15x=15+15

15x=30

x=30/15

x=2

y=3(2)-5=6-5=1

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

the answer will be two hours because they are two this means if Laura finishes in 3hours and Ben finished the the same job in 3hours the answer will be the Lauras minus the Ben so I think it's 2hour the answer will be 2hour

FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER THIS CORRECTLY WILL BE MARKED BRAINIEST

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

m<ZXY - m<WXZ = m<WXY 

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

point Z is in the interior of <WXY creating XZ.

if m<WXZ = 20

m<WXY = 100

find:

what would equation would you set up to find the missing angle measure?

solution:

Since Z is interior of <WXY

m<ZXY - m<WXZ = m<WXY

<WXY = 100 - 20 = 80°

therefore, the equation would be m<ZXY - m<WXZ = m<WXY

A snowmobile traveled 32 miles in 2 1/3 hours.

laila [671]

Answer:

13.7 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

• d = st

Given:

d = 32 miles
t = 2 1/3 hr = 7/3 hr

Find the rate s:

s = d/t
s = 32-7/3 = 32 x 3/7 = 96/7 = 13.7 mph (rounded)

Answer:

D - All rational numbers are integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because integers is a subcategory of rational numbers, so there are other rational numbers that aren't integers.

Let $$X_1, X_2, ...X_n$$ be uniformly distributed on the interval 0 to a. Recall that the maximum likelihood estimator of a is $

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

a) $\hat a = max(X_i)$

For this case the value for $\hat a$ is always smaller than the value of a, assuming $X_i \sim Unif[0,a]$ So then for this case it cannot be unbiased because an unbiased estimator satisfy this property:

$E(a) - a= 0$ and that's not our case.

b) $E(\hat a) - a= \frac{na}{n+1} - a = \frac{na -an -a}{n+1}= \frac{-a}{n+1}$

Since is a negative value we can conclude that underestimate the real value a.

$\lim_{ n \to\infty} -\frac{1}{n+1}= 0$

c) $P(Y \leq y) = P(max(X_i) \leq y) = P(X_1 \leq y, X_2 \leq y, ..., X_n\leq y)$

And assuming independence we have this:

$P(Y \leq y) = P(X_1 \leq y) P(X_2 \leq y) .... P(X_n \leq y) = [P(X_1 \leq y)]^n = (\frac{y}{a})^n$

$f_Y (Y) = n (\frac{y}{a})^{n-1} * \frac{1}{a}= \frac{n}{a^n} y^{n-1} , y \in [0,a]$

e) On this case we see that the estimator $\hat a_1$ is better than $\hat a_2$ and the reason why is because:

$V(\hat a_1) > V(\hat a_2)$

$\frac{a^2}{3n}> \frac{a^2}{n(n+2)}$

$n(n+2) = n^2 + 2n > n +2n = 3n$ and that's satisfied for n>1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we are assuming $X_1, X_2 , ..., X_n \sim U(0,a)$

And we are are ssuming the following estimator:

$\hat a = max(X_i)$

$E(a) - a= 0$ and that's not our case.

Part b

For this case we assume that the estimator is given by:

$E(\hat a) = \frac{na}{n+1}$

And using the definition of bias we have this:

$E(\hat a) - a= \frac{na}{n+1} - a = \frac{na -an -a}{n+1}= \frac{-a}{n+1}$

Since is a negative value we can conclude that underestimate the real value a.

And when we take the limit when n tend to infinity we got that the bias tend to 0.

$\lim_{ n \to\infty} -\frac{1}{n+1}= 0$

Part c

For this case we the followng random variable $Y = max (X_i)$ and we can find the cumulative distribution function like this:

$P(Y \leq y) = P(max(X_i) \leq y) = P(X_1 \leq y, X_2 \leq y, ..., X_n\leq y)$

And assuming independence we have this:

$P(Y \leq y) = P(X_1 \leq y) P(X_2 \leq y) .... P(X_n \leq y) = [P(X_1 \leq y)]^n = (\frac{y}{a})^n$

Since all the random variables have the same distribution.

Now we can find the density function derivating the distribution function like this:

$f_Y (Y) = n (\frac{y}{a})^{n-1} * \frac{1}{a}= \frac{n}{a^n} y^{n-1} , y \in [0,a]$

Now we can find the expected value for the random variable Y and we got this:

$E(Y) = \int_{0}^a \frac{n}{a^n} y^n dy = \frac{n}{a^n} \frac{a^{n+1}}{n+1}= \frac{an}{n+1}$

And the bias is given by:

$E(Y)-a=\frac{an}{n+1} -a=\frac{an-an-a}{n+1}= -\frac{a}{n+1}$

And again since the bias is not 0 we have a biased estimator.

Part e

For this case we have two estimators with the following variances:

$V(\hat a_1) = \frac{a^2}{3n}$

$V(\hat a_2) = \frac{a^2}{n(n+2)}$

On this case we see that the estimator $\hat a_1$ is better than $\hat a_2$ and the reason why is because:

$V(\hat a_1) > V(\hat a_2)$

$\frac{a^2}{3n}> \frac{a^2}{n(n+2)}$

$n(n+2) = n^2 + 2n > n +2n = 3n$ and that's satisfied for n>1.
