x + y = 23

x = 2y-1

y + 2y-1 =23

3y-1 =23

3y =24

y = 24/3 =8

 y = 8

 x = 2*8-1 = 15

15+8 = 23

 the 2 numbers are 8 & 15

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Given,

x + y = 23

x = 23 - y

Also given,

y = 2x - 1

y= 2(23 -y) -1

y = 46 - 2y - 1

3y = 45

y = 15

x = 23 - y = 23 - 15 = 8

Hence, the two numbers are 15 and 8.

Aaron is 5 years younger than Ron. Four years later, Ron will be twice as old as Aaron.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Aaron’s present age = x - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ron’s present age be x.  

Then Aaron’s present age = x - 5

After 4 years Ron’s age = x + 4, Aaron’s age x - 5 + 4.  

According to the question;  

Ron will be twice as old as Aaron.  

Therefore, x + 4 = 2(x - 5 + 4)  

⇒ x + 4 = 2(x - 1)  

⇒ x + 4 = 2x - 2

⇒ x + 4 = 2x - 2

⇒ x - 2x = -2 - 4

⇒ -x = -6

⇒ x = 6

Therefore, Aaron’s present age = x - 5 = 6 - 5 = 1

Hope this answer helps you :)

Have a great day

Suppose we have a population that does not follow the normal distribution. What minimum sample size we should select in order to
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

D. 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Having a population that doesn't follow normal distribution (skewed) can still have sampling distribution that is completely normal. This fact is presented in the Central Limit Theorem.

Central Limit Theorem: states that we can have a normal distribution of sample means even if the original population doesn't follow normal distribution, we just need to take a large sample.

So how much sample size do we need?

There is no straight forward answer to this rather we have to analyse the situation closely!

1. If the population distribution is already normal then a smaller sample size would be enough to ensure normal distribution.

2. If the population distribution is very skewed than a larger number of sample size is needed to ensure normal distribution. The rule of thumb is to take sample size equal to or more than 30 to be on safer side. This is the case in this problem hence option D fits the best.
