Answer:

x = 53/6 , y = -55/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y.

x+y = -1/3 ........... (1)

x-y = 18...............(2)

This is a simultaneous equation we will use elimination method.

Add equation 1 and 2

2x = 18 - ⅓

2x = 17⅔

2x = 53/3

Multiply both sides by 3

6x = 53

Divide both sides by 6

x = 53/6

Put x = 53/6 into equation 1

x+y = -⅓

53/6 + y = - ⅓

y = -⅓ - 53/6

y = -55/6

Therefore x = 53/6 , y = -55/6

I hope this was helpful, please mark as brainliest

The average monthly cell phone bill was reported to be $50.07 by the U.S. Wireless Industry. Random Sampling of a large cell pho

zalisa [80]

Answer:

The null and alternative hypotheses are:

$H_{0}:\mu= 50.07$

$H_{a}:\mu>50.07$

Under the null hypothesis, the test statistic is:

$t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Where:

$\bar{x} = 52.86$ is the sample mean

$s=7.0132$ is the sample standard deviation

$n=10$ is the sample size

$\therefore t=\frac{52.86-50.07}{\frac{7.0132}{\sqrt{10}} }$

$=1.26$

Now, the right tailed t critical value at 0.05 significance level for df = n-1 = 10-1 = 9 is:

$t_{critical}=1.833$

Since the t statistic is less than the t critical value at 0.05 significance level, therefore,we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the average phone bill has increased.
