A value 5 times a smaller number is 1 less than a larger number. their difference is 73

Mathematics

Answer:

The numbers are 18 and 91

Step-by-step explanation:

You can translate the information to two equations:

<em>a value 5 times a smaller number is 1 less than a larger number</em>

5a = b - 1

<em>their difference is 73</em>

b - a = 73

Then you should merge one equation into the other, thereby eliminating one variable. You can do this any way you want. I choose to rewrite the first equation as:

b = 5a + 1

Now I can write 5a+1 in the second equation at the place where b was:

5a + 1 - a = 73

It is now an equation with only one variable, solve by simplifying

4a = 72

a = 18

Now b can be found using b = 5a + 1

b = 91

Blood type AB is the rarest blood type, occurring in only 4% of the population in the United States. In Australia, only 1.5% of
Naddik [55]

Answer:

There is a 27.62% probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each U.S. resident, there are only two outcomes possible. Either they have blood type AB, or they do not. This means that we can solve this problem using binomial probability distribution concepts.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

In this problem, we have that:

50 U.S residents are sampled, so n = 50

4% of the U.S population has blood type AB, so p = 0.04.

What is the probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB?

This is P(X = 2). So:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{50,2}.(0.04)^{2}.(0.96)^{48} = 0.2762

There is a 27.62% probability that exactly 2 of the U.S. residents have blood type AB.
