Mathematics

salantis [7]3 years ago

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

Assume that the weights of Chinook Salmon in the Columbia River are normally distributed. You randomly catch and weigh 40 such s
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

a) i) This is a right-tailed test.

b)

\text{Test statistic} = 1.08

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 23 pounds

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 23.6 pounds

Sample size, n = 40

Alpha, α = 0.10

Sample standard deviation, s = 3.5 pounds

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 23\text{ pounds}\\H_A: \mu > 23\text{ pounds}

This is a one tailed(right).

Formula:

\text{Test statistic} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

\text{Test statistic} = \displaystyle\frac{23.6 - 23}{\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{40}} } = 1.08
