Answer:

x = 5/39 , y = 539/39

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y - 2.5 x = 13.5

12.25 x - y = -12.25

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{y - 2.5 x = 13.5

12.25 x - y = -12.25

y - 2.5 x = y - (5 x)/2 and 13.5 = 27/2:

y - (5 x)/2 = 27/2

Add (5 x)/2 to both sides:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

12.25 x - y = -12.25

Substitute y = 1/2 (5 x + 27) into the second equation:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

1/2 (-5 x - 27) + 12.25 x = -12.25

(-5 x - 27)/2 + 12.25 x = 12.25 x + (-(5 x)/2 - 27/2) = 9.75 x - 27/2:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25

9.75 x - 27/2 = (39 x)/4 - 27/2 and -12.25 = -49/4:

(39 x)/4 - 27/2 = -49/4

Add 27/2 to both sides:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

(39 x)/4 = 5/4

Multiply both sides by 4/39:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

x = 5/39

Substitute x = 5/39 into the first equation:

{y = 539/39

x = 5/39

A major airline company is concerned that its proportion of late arrivals has substantially increased in the past month. Histori

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The correct statement is

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p = 0.18$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p > 0.18$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population proportion is p = 0.18

The sample size is n = 1240 airplane

The number of airplane is k = 310

Generally the sample proportion is

$\^ p = \frac{k}{n}$

=> $\^ p = \frac{310}{1240}$

=> $\^ p =0.25$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p = 0.18$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p > 0.18$

What is the gcf of 12 78 and 90

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The greatest common factor of 12, 78, and 90 is 6.

Factors are the numbers, that when multiplied with another number, equal the product.

Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
Factors of 78: 1, 2, 3, 6, 13, 26, 39, and 78.
Factors of 90: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 20, 45, and 90.

The Greatest Common Factor is the highest factor shared among the products. Thus proving 6 is the GCF.

I hope this helps!
