Let the two numbers be x and y
(x+y)-18=2x
x+y-18=2x
x+y-2x=18
-x+y=18_______(1)

(x-y) -32=2y
x-y-32=2y
x-y-2y=32
x-3y=32_______(2)

from eqn (1) y=18+x____(3)
substitute eqn (3) into eqn(2)
x-3{18+x} = 32
x-54-3x=32
-2x=32+54
-2x = 86
x= -43

sub x=-43 into eqn (3)
y=18+(-43) = 18-43 = -25

Give an example of each of the following or explain why you think such a set could not exist.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

a.No

b.No

c.No

Step-by-step explanation:

a.No,Such set does not exist .A set of natural numbers is N

Every point of this set is an isolated point but no accumulation point

Accumulation point:It is defined as that point a of set Swhich every neighborhood contains infinitely many distinct point of set

(a-\epsilon,e+\epsilon)\cap S-{a}\neq\phi

Isolated point : it is defined as that point a of set S which neighborhood   does not contain any other point of set except itself

(a-\epsilon0,a+\epsilon)\cap S-{a}=\phi

Interior point of set :Let a\in S .Then a is called interior point of set when its neighborhood is a subset of set S.

a\in(a-\epsilon,e+\epsilon)\subset S

When a set is uncountable then interior point exist it is  necessary for interior points existance .

Boundary points :Let a\in S .If every non empty neighborhood of a  intersect S and complement of S.

Every member of  a set is a boundary point

b.No, such set does not exist .A non empty set with isolated point then the set have no interior points .By definition of interior point and isolated point .For example.set of natural numbers

c.No, Such set does not exist ,for example set of natural every point is an isolated point and boundary point.By definition of  boundary point and isolated point

A jar of peanut butter contains 454 g with a standard deviation of 10.2 g. Find the probability that a jar contains more than 46
Fofino [41]

Answer:

The probability that a jar contains more than 466 g is 0.119.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a jar of peanut butter contains a mean of 454 g with a standard deviation of 10.2 g.

Let X = <u><em>Amount of peanut butter in a jar</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

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

where, \mu = population mean = 454 g

           \sigma = standard deviation = 10.2 g

So, X ~ Normal(\mu=454 , \sigma^{2} = 10.2^{2})

Now, the probability that a jar contains more than 466 g is given by = P(X > 466 g)

            P(X > 466 g) = P( \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{466-454}{10.2} ) = P(Z > 1.18) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.18)

                                                                  = 1 - 0.881 = <u>0.119</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

The ratio of cats to dogs at April's Animal Shelter was 3 to 2. How many dogs were in the shleter if there were a total of 75 ca
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

A:30

Step-by-step explanation:

because 3+2(the ratio) =5

75(the total number or both) divide by 5

so 1 ratio=15

15 x 2(the ratio of dogs)

=30
