Find two numbers whos diffrence is 16 and the product is 720

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

the numbers who's difference is 16 and the product is 720 is

36 &20

Explanation:

to finding numbers you have to express the equation in a quadratic equation then Factor it.

since the two numbers have a difference of 16 you can say that the first number is x and the second number is x -16 then their product is 720.

x(x-16)=720

x²-16x=720

x²-16x-720=0

(x-36)(x+20)

there are two possible value of x but since you are looking for the positive value of x, choose the positive value of x the first number is 20.

To find the second number

x-16=20

x=20+16

x=36

the second number is 36

Now to check

36-20=16

20*36=720

Find the mean for the scores : 3810;5300;8540;4300,5340

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: 5458

Step-by-step explanation: So the mean is the same thing as the average. To find the mean you add up all of the numbers, and then divide by 5 because there are five numbers. So the sum would be 27,290. Then that divided by 5 would be 5458.

KonstantinChe [14]

1) Take 18 and multiply it by 5 = 90
2) Then subtract 26 = 64
3) Then subtract 18 = 46
4) Then subtract 12 = 34
5) Then subtract 8 = 26

The answer is 26.

A market research team thinks that their new ad campaign is better than their old one. They used to be able to sell to 50% of th

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a. The test statistic is 2 and we conclude that the new ad campaign is not signficantly better.

Step-by-step explanation:

They used to be able to sell to 50% of those who saw their ads. Test if the new campaign is better.

At the null hypothesis, we test is it is the same, that is, the proportion is the same.

$H_0: p = 0.5$

At the alternate hypothesis, we test if it is significantly better, that is, the proportion is above 50%.

$H_1: p > 0.5$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.5 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 0.5, \sigma = \sqrt{0.5*0.5} = 0.5$

They take a random sample of 100 potential buyers and find that they convinced 60 of these people to buy their product.

This means that $n = 100, X = \frac{60}{100} = 0.6$

Test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{0.6 - 0.5}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}}}$

$z = 2$

The test statistic is 2.

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.6, which is 1 subtracted the by p-value of z = 2.

Looking at the z-table, z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772.

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228.

The p-value of the test is 0.0228 > 0.01, which means that we cannot conclude that the new ad campaign is signficantly better, so the correct answer is given by option A.
