Answer:

y = 29/4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

<u>To find the value of y</u>

we have,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

3(y + 4) = 15(y - 5)

(y + 4) = 5(y - 5) [dividing both sides by 3]

y + 4 = 5y - 25

5y - 25 = y + 4

5y - y = 4 + 25

4y = 29

y = 29/4

Therefore the value of y = 29/4

Si 2/3 de los 84 pasajeros de un bus de Transmilenio son hombres, ¿cuántas

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Aquí, tenemos 2/3 como hombres.

La fracción de mujeres es, por lo tanto, 1-2 /3 = 1/3

Entonces 1/3 de 84 son mujeres Por lo tanto, el número de mujeres es 1/3 * 84 = 28

dlinn [17]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 13.4000$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu \ne 13.4000$

The null hypothesis is rejected

The 99% confidence level is $13.3930 < \mu < 13.3994$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 10

The population mean is $\mu = 13.4 000 \ angstroms$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.05$

The sample data is

13.3987, 13.3957, 13.3902, 13.4015, 13.4001, 13.3918, 13.3965, 13.3925, 13.3946, and 13.4002

Generally the sample mean is mathematically represented as

$\= x = \frac{13.3987+ 13.3957\cdots +13.4002 }{10}$

=> $\= x = 13.3962$

Generally the sample standard deviation is mathematically represented as

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x)^2}{n} }$

=> $\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{ (13.3987 - 13.3962)^2 + (13.3987 - 13.3962)^2 + \cdots + (13.3987 -13.4002)^2 }{10} }$

=> $\sigma =0.0039$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 13.4000$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu \ne 13.4000$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

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

=> $z = \frac{13.3962 - 13.4000}{\frac{0.0039}{\sqrt{10} } }$

=> $z = 3.08$

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = 2P( z > 3.08)$

From the z-table $P(z > 3.08)= 0.001035$

$p-value = 2* 0.001035$

$p-value = 0.00207$

So from the obtained value we see that

$p-value < \alpha$

Hence the null hypothesis is rejected

Consider the b question

Given that the confidence level is 99% then the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 -99)\%$

=> $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally from the normal distribution table critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $E = 2.58 * \frac{0.0039}{\sqrt{10} }$

=> $E = 0.00318$

Generally the 99% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$13.3962 - 0.00318 < \mu < 13.3962 + 0.00318$

=> $13.3930 < \mu < 13.3994$
