Answer:

The numbers are 23 and 7  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up the equations

   Let x = the greater number

  and y = the smaller number. Then

(1) x - y = 16

       4y = 4 times the smaller number and

  4y - 5 = 5 less than 4 times the smaller number. Then

(2)     x = 4y - 5

You have a system of two equations:

\begin{cases}(1) & x - y = 16\\(2) & x = 4y - 5\end{cases}

2. Solve the equations

\begin{array}{lrcll}(3) & 4y - 5 - y & = & 16 &\text{Substituted (2) into (1)}\\& 3y - 5 & = & 16 &\text{Simplified}\\ & 3y & = & 21 &\text{Added 5 to each side}\\(4) &y & = & \mathbf{7} &\text{Divided each side by 3} \\& x - 7 & = & 16 & \text{Substituted (4) into (1)}\\& x& = & \mathbf{23} & \text{Added 7 to each side}\\\end{array}

The larger number is 23; the smaller number is 7.

3. Check

\begin{array}{rclcrcl}23 - 7& = & 16 & \qquad &23&=&4(7) - 5\\16 & = & 16 & \qquad &23& = &28 - 5\\&&& \qquad &23& = &23\\\end{array}

OK.

Answer: If X = 5, z=<u>-3</u>

If X = 37, z= <u>3.4</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula to find the z-score for any random variable x is given by :-

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

, where \mu = Population mean

\sigma = Population standard deviation.

As per given , we have

\mu=20\\\\\sigma=5

Then , the z-score for x =5

z=\dfrac{5-20}{5}=\dfrac{-15}{5}=-3

i.e. If X = 5, z=<u>-3</u>

When x =37,then z=\dfrac{37-20}{5}=\dfrac{17}{5}=3.4

i.e. If X = 37, z= <u>3.4</u>
