Answer:

x = 18  (Smaller number)

y = 35 (Larger number)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, begin by setting up a system of equations.

'x' being the smaller number, while

'y' is the larger number.

We can construct the equations:

x + y = 53

3x = y + 19

Rearrange the second equation to equal 'y':

3x - 19 = y

Plug this value of 'y' into the first equation:

x + 3x - 19 = 53

Combine like terms and simplify:

4x - 19 = 53

4x = 72

x = 18

Plug in this value for 'x' into an equation to solve for 'y':

18 + y = 53

y = 35.

Answer:

18 and 35

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, begin by setting up a system of equations.

'y' is the larger number.

4x = 72

x = 18

Plug in this value for 'x' into an equation to solve for 'y':

18 + y = 53

y = 35.

The total points earned in the football game was 42. The Falcons earned 2/3 of that score. How many points did the other team sc
Elodia [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

other team earned 1/3,

42/1 * 2/3 = 84/3

so 84/3 is 28

then the Falcons = 28

so other team = total score - the Falcons

which is 42 - 28 = 14

What is the slope and y-intercept of the graph?<br><br><br><br> Slope: <br><br><br> y-intercept:
mr Goodwill [35]
Y = 0 + 2

Since it is a horizontal line, the slope is m = 0.

For the y-intercept, the line passes through 2 so therefore, the y-intercept is 2 positive.

A film distribution manager calculates that 4% of the films released are flops. If the manager is correct, what is the probabili
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

9.34%

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 4%, or 0.04

n = Sample size = 667

u = Expected value = n * p = 667 * 0.04 = 26.68

SD = Standard deviation = \sqrt{np(1-p)}  =\sqrt{667*0.04*(1-0.04)} = 5.06

Now, the question is if the manager is correct, what is the probability that the proportion of flops in a sample of 667 released films would be greater than 5%?

This statement implies that the p-vlaue of Z when X = 5% * 667 = 33.35

Since,

Z = (X - u) / SD

We have;

Z = (33.35 - 26.68) / 5.06

Z = 1.32

From the Z-table, the p-value of 1.32 is 0.9066

1 - 0.9066 = 0.0934, or 9.34%

Therefore, the probability that the proportion of flops in a sample of 667 released films would be greater than 5% is 9.34%.

A sample of 10 adult elephants had an average weight of 12,556 pounds. The standard deviation
kirill [66]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval of the population mean for the weights of adult elephants is between 12,475 pounds and 12,637 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 10 - 1 = 9

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 9 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995. So we have T = 3.25

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 3.25*25 = 81

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 12,556 - 81 = 12,475 pounds

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 12,556 + 81 = 12,637 pounds.

The 99% confidence interval of the population mean for the weights of adult elephants is between 12,475 pounds and 12,637 pounds.
