The sum of 2 numbers is 22. three times one number is equal to ten more than the other. find the numbers

1 answer:

8 0

Translating that problem into an equation with x as a variable we get 3x + x +10 = 22. Combine like terms to get 4x + 10 = 22. Subtract 10 on both sides to get 4x = 12. Divide by 4 on both sides to get x = 3.

Now to plug in. The first number was represented by 3x. So substituting 3 for the x we get 3(3) = 9. And again for the second number represented by x+10, 3+10 = 13.

Your numbers are 9 and 13. To check just add them together. 13 + 9 is 22, I'll save ya the effort.

The fitted regression is Sales = 832 − 28.2 Price. (a-1) If Price = 1, what is the prediction for Sales? (Round your answer to 1

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Part (a-1): The prediction for Sales is 803.8.

Part (a-2): The correct option is: An increase in price decreases sales.

Part (B): The prediction for sales is 211.66

Part (C): The intercept is meaningful as sales will be maximized when price is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided regression:

Sales = 832 − 28.2 Price

(a-1) If Price = 1, what is the prediction for Sales?

Substitute Price = 1 in above regression.

Sales = 832 − 28.2 (1) = 803.8

Hence, the prediction for Sales is 803.8.

Sales (a-2) Choose the correct statement.

Here we can observe that as we increase the price, sales decrease.

Thus, the correct option is: An increase in price decreases sales.

(b) If Price = 22, what is the prediction for Sales?

Substitute Price = 22 in above regression.

Sales = 832 − 28.2 (22)

Sales = 832 − 620.4

Sales = 211.66

Hence, the prediction for sales is 211.66

Sales (c) Choose the right option.

As we increase the price, sales decrease that means the sales will be maximum if the price is 0.

The intercept is meaningful as sales will be maximized when price is zero.

A manufacturer of Christmas light bulbs knows that 10% of these bulbs are defective. It is known that light bulbs are defective

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

(a) P(X $\leq$ 20) = 0.9319

(b) Expected number of defective light bulbs = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a manufacturer of Christmas light bulbs knows that 10% of these bulbs are defective. It is known that light bulbs are defective independently. A box of 150 bulbs is selected at random.

Firstly, the above situation can be represented through binomial distribution, i.e.;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r} p^{r} (1-p)^{2} ;x=0,1,2,3,....$

where, n = number of samples taken = 150

r = number of success

p = probability of success which in our question is % of bulbs that

are defective, i.e. 10%

Now, we can't calculate the required probability using binomial distribution because here n is very large(n > 30), so we will convert this distribution into normal distribution using continuity correction.

So, Let X = No. of defective bulbs in a box

Mean of X, $\mu$ = $n \times p$ = $150 \times 0.10$ = 15

Standard deviation of X, $\sigma$ = $\sqrt{np(1-p)}$ = $\sqrt{150 \times 0.10 \times (1-0.10)}$ = 3.7

So, X ~ N( $\mu = 15, \sigma^{2} = 3.7^{2})$

Now, the z score probability distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

(a) Probability that this box will contain at most 20 defective light bulbs is given by = P(X $\leq$ 20) = P(X < 20.5) ---- using continuity correction

P(X < 20.5) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{20.5-15}{3.7}$ ) = P(Z < 1.49) = 0.9319

(b) Expected number of defective light bulbs found in such boxes, on average is given by = E(X) = $n \times p$ = $150 \times 0.10$ = 15.
