18 and 35. The numbers whose sum 53 are 18 and 35.

The key to solve this problem is using a system of equations.

There are two numbers whose sum is 53. This number can be represented as x and y. So:

x + y = 53

Three times the smaller number is equal to 19 more than the larger. Let's set x as the smaller number and y the larger number. So:

3x = 19 + y

Clear y in both equations and let's use the equalization method to solve for x:

y = 53 - x and y = 3x - 19

Then,

53 - x = 3x - 19

53 + 19 = 3x + x ---------> 3x + x = 53 + 19 -------> 4x = 72

x = 72/4 = 18

To find y, let's substitute x = 18 in the equation x + y = 53

18 + y = 53 --------> y = 53 - 18

y = 35

Identify the solution(s) of the system of equations, if any. -4x-2y=16 2y=-4x-16

Elodia [21]

-4x-2y = 16
2y = -4x-16

Get one variable alone on both equations

-4x - 16 = 2y
-4x - 16 = 2y

You'll realize that they're the same equation.
Use substitution

-4x-16 = -4x-16
0 = 0
x = all solutions

Use x = all solutions in an earlier equation to find y

-4x - 16 = 2y
SInce x can be all solutions y is also all solutions
y = all solutions

Solve the following equation with Rational Coefficients. Round the answer to the nearest tenths if necessary. 1.2y=15

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

I am sorry, I do not know what Rational Coefficients are but y=12.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 1.2y=15 then you divide both answers by 1.2 and then you get y=12.5. Hope this helps, Let me know if correct!!

Dannette and Alphonso work for a computer repair company. They must include the time it takes to complete each repair in their r

olga55 [171]

Answer:

(a):

Dannette Alphonso

$\bar x_D = 4.33$ $\bar x_A = 5.17$

$M_D = 2.5$ $M_A = 5$

$\sigma_D = 3.350$ $\sigma_A = 1.951$

$IQR_D = 7$ $IQR_A = 1.5$

(b):

Measure of center: Median

Measure of spread: Interquartile range

(c):

There are no outliers in Dannette's dataset

There are outliers in Alphonso's dataset

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for the appropriate data presentation

Solving (a): Mean, Median, Standard deviation and IQR of each

From the attached plots, we have:

IQR_A = 1.5 ---- Dannette

$A = \{3,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,6,6,11\}$ ---- Alphonso

n = 12 --- number of dataset

Mean

The mean is calculated

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

$\bar x_D = \frac{1+1+1+1+2+2+3+7+8+8+9+9}{12}$

$\bar x_D = \frac{52}{12}$

$\bar x_D = 4.33$ --- Dannette

$\bar x_A = \frac{3+4+4+4+4+5+5+5+5+6+6+11}{12}$

$\bar x_A = \frac{62}{12}$

$\bar x_A = 5.17$ --- Alphonso

Median

The median is calculated as:

$M = \frac{n + 1}{2}th$

$M = \frac{12 + 1}{2}th$

$M = \frac{13}{2}th$

$M = 6.5th$

This implies that the median is the mean of the 6th and the 7th item.

So, we have:

$M_D = \frac{2+3}{2}$

$M_D = \frac{5}{2}$

$M_D = 2.5$ ---- Dannette

$M_A = \frac{5+5}{2}$

$M_A = \frac{10}{2}$

$M_A = 5$ ---- Alphonso

Standard Deviation

This is calculated as:

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

So, we have:

$\sigma_D = \sqrt{\frac{(1 - 4.33)^2 +.............+(9- 4.33)^2}{12}}$

$\sigma_D = \sqrt{\frac{134.6668}{12}}$

$\sigma_D = 3.350$ ---- Dannette

$\sigma_A = \sqrt{\frac{(3-5.17)^2+............+(11-5.17)^2}{12}}$

$\sigma_A = \sqrt{\frac{45.6668}{12}}$

$\sigma_A = 1.951$ --- Alphonso

The Interquartile Range (IQR)

This is calculated as:

$IQR =Q_3 - Q_1$

Where

$Q_3 \to$ Upper Quartile and $Q_1 \to$ Lower Quartile

$Q_3$ is calculated as:

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}*({n + 1})th$

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}*(12 + 1})th$

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}*13th$

$Q_3 = 9.75th$

This means that $Q_3$ is the mean of the 9th and 7th item. So, we have:

$Q_3 = \frac{1}{2} * (8+8) = \frac{1}{2} * 16$ $Q_3 = \frac{1}{2} * (5+6) = \frac{1}{2} * 11$

$Q_3 = 8$ ---- Dannette $Q_3 = 5.5$ --- Alphonso

$Q_1$ is calculated as:

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}*({n + 1})th$

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}*({12 + 1})th$

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{4}*13th$

$Q_1 = 3.25th$

This means that $Q_1$ is the mean of the 3rd and 4th item. So, we have:

$Q_1 = \frac{1}{2}(1+1) = \frac{1}{2} * 2$ $Q_1 = \frac{1}{2}(4+4) = \frac{1}{2} * 8$

$Q_1 = 1$ --- Dannette $Q_1 = 4$ ---- Alphonso

So, the IQR is:

$IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

$IQR_D = 8 - 1$ $IQR_A = 5.5 - 4$

$IQR_D = 7$ --- Dannette $IQR_A = 1.5$ --- Alphonso

Solving (b): The measures to compare

Measure of center

By observation, we can see that there are outliers is the plot of Alphonso (because 11 is far from the other dataset) while there are no outliers in Dannette plot (as all data are close).

Since, the above is the case; we simply compare the median of both because it is not affected by outliers

Measure of spread

Compare the interquartile range of both, as it is arguably the best measure of spread, because it is also not affected by outliers.

Solving (c): Check for outlier

To check for outlier, we make use of the following formulas:

$Lower =Q_1 - 1.5 * IQR$

$Upper =Q_3 + 1.5 * IQR$

For Dannette:

$Lower = 1 - 1.5 * 7 = -9.5$

$Upper = 8 + 1.5 * 7 = 18.5$

Since, the dataset are all positive, we change the lower outlier to 0.

So, the valid data range are:

$Valid = 0 \to 18.5$

From the question, the range of Dannette's dataset is: 1 to 9. Hence, there are no outliers in Dannette's dataset

For Alphonso:

$Lower = 4 - 1.5 * 1.5 =1.75$

$Upper = 5.5 + 1.5 * 1.5 =7.75$

So, the valid data range are:

$Valid = 1.75\to 7.75$

From the question, the range of Alphonso's dataset is: 3 to 11. Hence, there are outliers in Alphonso's dataset
