x = first number
64 - x = second number {sum of two numbers is 64}
2x = 64 - x - 10 {twice smaller is ten less than larger}
2x = 54 - x {combine like terms}
3x = 54
x = 18
64 - x = 46 {substituted 18 for x}

the two numbers are 18 and 46

Based on the Nielsen ratings, the local CBS affiliate claims its 11:00 PM newscast reaches 41 % of the viewing audience in the a

Answer:

1) Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.41$

2) $\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

3) $z_{crit}=-2.33$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)"

4) $z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{1000}}}=-1.017$

5) $z_{crit}=-1.28$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.1,0,1)"

6) We see that $|t_{calculated}|$ so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

7) Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X represent the people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

$\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

$p_o=0.41$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v{/tex} represent the p value (variable of interest) Part 1We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that 11:00 PM newscast reaches 41 % of the viewing audience in the area: Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.41$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.41$

Part 2

$\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

Part 3

Since we have a left tailed test we need to see in the normal standard distribution a value that accumulates 0.01 of the area on the left and on this case this value is :

$z_{crit}=-2.33$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)"

Part 4

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{1000}}}=-1.017$

Part 5

Since we have a left tailed test we need to see in the normal standard distribution a value that accumulates 0.1 of the area on the left and on this case this value is :

$z_{crit}=-1.28$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.1,0,1)"

Part 6

We see that $|t_{calculated}|$ so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

Part 7

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

The cost of renting a game at the video store can be described by the function y=5x+4

topjm [15]

Answer:

2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given formula

y = 5x + 4

The information:

y is the money spent

x is the number of days

It is known that Justin spent $18

so now just substitute in that value

$18 = 5x + 4

and simplfiy by inverse operations

18 = 5x + 4

-4 -4

14 = 5x

/5 /5

2.8 = x

As per this problem, one can infer that renting a game is done by days, and will be charged in days, hence renting a game for 0.8 days is pointless

meaning that the final answer is 2 full days
