Answer:

The son is 20 and a half years old.

The father is 36 and a half years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this easily by turning it into an equation.

Let the mans age be y and the fathers age be x.

y+x=57

x=y+16

We can use the substitution method to solve for the first equation.

y+(y+16)=57

Now we only have one variable to solve for. Add like terms.

2y+16=57

Subtract 16 on both sides.

2y=41

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y.

y=20.5

Now substitute 20.5 for y to solve for x.

20.5+x=57

Subtract 20.5 from both sides.

x=36.5

<em>The son is 20 and a half years old.</em>

<em>The father is 36 and a half years old.</em>

Hope this helps!

What type of graph are you most likely to use if you are comparing 2 quantitative continuous variables.
givi [52]
The answer would be a histogram. It is an accurate display of numerical data. It shows the basic frequency distribution or shape of a data. We know that continuous data are measured on a scale or continuum (for example: weight or test scores). Histograms are useful for displaying continuous data.

Your friend draws the diagram at the right
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

What he did wrong is that he did not flip all of the points. since S is 1 point up, it would then reflect 1 point down. point P is 3 up and the reflection should be 3 down. Q should be 3 down as well and R is 1 down below the x axis. The Y does not move for all of the points.

Step-by-step explanation:

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Type I: 1.9%, Type II: 1.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

given null hypothesis

H0=the individual has not taken steroids.

type 1 error-falsely rejecting the null hypothesis

⇒   actually the null hypothesis is true⇒the individual has not taken steroids.

 but we rejected it ⇒our prediction is the individual has taken steroids.

typr II error- not rejecting null hypothesis when it has to be rejected

⇒actually null hypothesis is false ⇒the individual has taken steroids.

but we didnt reject⇒the individual has not taken steroids.

let us denote

the individual has taken steroids by 1

the individual has not  taken steroids.by 0

                            predicted

                              1       0

   actual          1    98.4%  1.6%

                        0   1.9%   98.1%

so for type 1 error  

 actual-0

predicted-1

therefore from above table we can see that probability of Type I error is 1.9%=0.019

so for type II error

   actual-1

predicted-0

therefore from above table we can see that probability of Type I error is 1.6%=0.016
