<em><u>Question:</u></em>

The difference of two numbers is nine if the larger number is one more than twice the smaller number find a larger number

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

<em><u>The larger number is 17</u></em>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the smaller number be "a"

Let the larger number be "b"

The difference of two numbers is nine

Therefore,

b - a = 9 ------ eqn 1

larger number is one more than twice the smaller number

Therefore,

b = 1 + 2a ----- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

1 + 2a - a = 9

<h3>a = 8</h3>

Substitute a = 8 in eqn 1

b - 8 = 9

b = 9 + 8

<h3>b = 17</h3>

Thus the larger number is 17

The admission fee at a movie theater is $5 for children and $9 for adults. If 3200 people go to the movies and $24000 is collect
Usimov [2.4K]
For this problem, let x be the number of children and y for adults. Formulate the equations: 1st equation, x + y = 3,200 and 2nd equation 5x + 9y = 24,000. Re-arrange 1st equation into x = 3200 - y. Then, substitute into 2nd equation, 5(3,200-y) + 9y = 24,000. Then, solve for y. The 16,000 - 5y + 9y = 24000. Final answer is, y = 2000 adults went to watch the movie.

Suppose John is a high school statistics teacher who believes that scoring higher on homework assignments leads to higher test s
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

A. R2 = 0.6724, meaning 67.24% of the total variation in test scores can be explained by the least‑squares regression line.

Step-by-step explanation:

John is predicting test scores of students on the basis of their home work averages and he get the following regression equation

y=0.2 x +82.

Here, dependent variable y is the test scores and independent variable x is home averages because test scores are predicted on the basis of home work averages.

The coefficient of determination R² indicates the explained variability of dependent variable due to its linear relationship with independent variable.

We are given that correlation coefficient r= 0.82.

coefficient of determination R²=0.82²=0.6724 or 67.24%.

Thus, we can say that 67.24% of total variability in test scores is explained by its linear relationship with homework averages.

Also, we can say that, R2 = 0.6724, meaning 67.24% of the total variation in test scores can be explained by the least‑squares regression line.
