X + y = 25
x is the smaller number.
y is the smaller number plus 9 (x + 9).

x + (x + 9) = 25
2x + 9 = 25
2x = 16
x = 8

8 + y = 25
y = 17

The numbers are 8 and 17.

X and y are the numbers
sum is 25 so
x+y=25

x is bigger than y by 9
x=y+9
subsitue y+9 for x

x+y=25
y+9+y=25
2y+9=25
minus 9 both sides
2y=16
divide by 2
y=8

sub back
x=y+9
x=8+9
x=17

the numbers are 8 and 17

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

So we have the equation:

2x+3y=1470

To change into the slope-intercept form, we need to isolate the y-variable. Thus, subtract 2x from both sides:

(2x+3y)-2x=(1470)-2x

The left side cancels:

3y=1470-2x

Now, divide both sides by 3. The left side cancels:

(3y)/3=(-2x+1470)/3\\y=-\frac{2}{3} x+490

The slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Thus, the slope is -2/3 and the y-intercept is 490.

2)

So, since we already know the y-intercept is 490, plot a point at (0,490).

The slope is too small to use. Thus, multiply the fraction by 100. It is now (-200/300). This means that we move <em>down</em> 200 for every 300 (recall that the slope means rise over run. Thus, we move down 200 for every 300 to the right). Thus, another possible point would be (0+300,490-200) or (300,290). Plot that. Then, connect them.

3)

To write in in function notation, simply substitute the y-variable for the function notation. Our independent variable here is x so we'll use that.

y=-\frac{2}{3}x+490\\ f(x)=-\frac{2}{3}x+490

This means that for every x sandwiches made, there is f(x) wraps made for the total sum to be $1,470.

For example, if 105 sandwiches were made, then f(105)=-2/3(105)+490=420 wraps were made for the total profit to be $1,470.

4)

Please refer to the attached graph.

5)

First, since the total profit has now increased, the graph above and to the right of the old graph. This is because Sal needs to sell more sandwiches and wraps. Likewise, because of this, the x- and y-intercepts will also be different. Nevertheless, if converted into the slope-intercept equation, the slope will remain the same.

A coin is thrown independently 10 times to test the hypothesis that the probability of heads is 0.5 versus the alternative that
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

(a) The significance level of the test is 0.002.

(b) The power of the test is 0.3487.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a coin is thrown independently 10 times to test the hypothesis that the probability of heads is 0.5 versus the alternative that the probability is not 0.5.

The test rejects the null hypothesis if either 0 or 10 heads are observed.

Let p = <u><em>probability of obtaining head.</em></u>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 0.5

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p \neq 0.5

(a) The significance level of the test which is represented by \alpha is the probability of Type I error.

Type I error states the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis given the fact that the null hypothesis is true.

Here, the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis means we obtain the probability of observing either 0 or 10 heads, that is;

            P(Type I error) = \alpha

         P(X = 0/H_0 is true) + P(X = 10/H_0 is true) = \alpha

Also, the event of obtaining heads when a coin is thrown 10 times can be considered as a binomial experiment.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 10, p = 0.5)

P(X = 0/H_0 is true) + P(X = 10/H_0 is true) = \alpha

\binom{10}{0}\times 0.5^{0} \times (1-0.5)^{10-0}  +\binom{10}{10}\times 0.5^{10} \times (1-0.5)^{10-10}  = \alpha

(1\times 1\times 0.5^{10})  +(1 \times 0.5^{10} \times 0.5^{0}) = \alpha

\alpha = 0.0019

So, the significance level of the test is 0.002.

(b) It is stated that the probability of heads is 0.1, and we have to find the power of the test.

Here the Type II error is used which states the probability of accepting the null hypothesis given the fact that the null hypothesis is false.

Also, the power of the test is represented by (1 - \beta).

So, here, X ~ Binom(n = 10, p = 0.1)

1-\beta = P(X = 0/H_0 is true) + P(X = 10/H_0 is true)

1-\beta = \binom{10}{0}\times 0.1^{0} \times (1-0.1)^{10-0}  +\binom{10}{10}\times 0.1^{10} \times (1-0.1)^{10-10}  

1-\beta = (1\times 1\times 0.9^{10})  +(1 \times 0.1^{10} \times 0.9^{0})

1-\beta = 0.3487

Hence, the power of the test is 0.3487.
