Allan and Dave bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 375 points. Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Da

ve’s. What were their scores?
Which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents Dave’s score and y represents Allan’s score?

A. x + y = 60
y = 2x – 375

B. x + y = 375
y = 2x – 60

C. x + y = 375
y = 2x + 60

D. x – y = 375
y = 2x – 60

Answer:

B. x + y = 375

y = 2x – 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Allan and Dave bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 375 points. Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Dave’s.

To Find:

What were their scores?

Which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents Dave’s score and y represents Allan’s score?

Solution :

x repesents Dave’s score

y represents Allan’s score

Since we are given that their combined total score for one game was 375 points

⇒x+y=375 ---1

Now we are given that Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Dave’s

⇒y =2x-60---2

Thus x+y=375 and y =2x-60 is a required system of equations.

So, option b is correct.

Now to calculate their scores.

Put value of y from equation 2 in 1

⇒x+(2x-60)=375

⇒3x=375+60

⇒3x=435

⇒x =\frac{435}{3}

⇒x=145

Now put this value of x in equation 1 to get value of y

⇒145+y=375

⇒y=375-145

⇒y=230

Thus Dave's score is 145 and Allan's score is 230

A system of equations is:
B ) 
x + y = 375
x = 2 y - 60
We will solve this system:
2 y - 60 + y = 375
3 y = 435
y = 435 : 3
y = 145
x = 375 - 145
x = 230
Allan`s score was 230 and Dave`s score was 145.

Answer:

A Type I error would occur if there was no evidence of an improvement on the national exam but there really was improvement.

Step-by-step explanation:

A type 1 error simply occurs when we incorrectly reject a true null hypothesis. In the scenario above, An experiment was conducted in other it know if there is sufficient evidence to support a claim that a new teaching method developed improves students score. If this claim is actually true in the real sense. However, after conducting a statistical test, we conuded that there was no sufficient evidence to support her claim of improvement using the new method, hence, the claim was rejected. By rejecting the claim, a true null has been rejected. Hence, a type 1 error has been committed.
