Answer:

x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the larger of two numbers is four more than the smaller one, this means that there is a difference of 4 between the two numbers. In order to find the smaller of both numbers, you can obtain the smaller from the largest by subtracting 4.

I think it’s A.6.3
Sorry if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s that.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The confidence Interval is [- 0.7053 10.4521]

a: The hypotheses are

H0: μ1=μ2 against the claim Ha :μ1≠μ2

b. The critical value for t∝/2 for 17 d.f t > 2.508 and t < -2.111

c. t= -2.8422

d. The calculated value of t= -2.8422 is less than t < -2.11 the critical value therefore we reject H0 and conclude there is a difference between the two means.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the standard deviations are not the same then the confidence intervals for mean differences are calculated as

(x1`-x2`)- t∝/2 √s1²/n1 + s2²/n2 < u1-u2 < (x1`-x2`)+ t∝/2 √s1²/n1 + s2²/n2

x1`= 21 x2`= 27

n1= 10 n2= 14

s1= 5.6 s2= 4.3

The degrees of freedom is calculated using

υ = [s₁²/n1 + s₂²/n2]²/ (s₁²/n1 )²/ n1-1 + (s₂²/n2)²/n2-1

= 17

The t∝/2 for 17 d.f = 2.11

Putting the values

(x1`-x2`)- t∝/2 √s1²/n1 + s2²/n2 < u1-u2 < (x1`-x2`)+ t∝/2 √s1²/n1 + s2²/n2

(21-27) - 2.11√5.6²/10+ 4.3²/14 < u1-u2 <(21-27) +2.11√5.6²/10+4.3²/14

6- 2.11*2.111 < u1-u2 < ( 6 ) +2.11*2.111

6- 4.4521 < u1-u2 < ( 6 ) +5.294

- 1.5479 < u1-u2 < 10.4521

The confidence Interval is [- 0.7053 10.4521]

a: The hypotheses are

H0: μ1=μ2 against the claim Ha :μ1≠μ2

The claim is that there is a difference in the average time spent by the two services

b. The critical value for t∝/2 for 17 d.f t > 2.508 and t < -2.111

The degrees of freedom is calculated using

υ = [s₁²/n1 + s₂²/n2]²/ (s₁²/n1 )²/ n1-1 + (s₂²/n2)²/n2-1

= 17

c. The test statistic is

t= (x1`-x2`) /√s1²/n1 + s2²/n2

t= (21-27) /√5.6²/10+ 4.3²/14

t= -6/2.111

t= -2.8422

d. The calculated value of t= -2.8422 is less than t < -2.11 the critical value therefore we reject H0 and conclude there is a difference between the two means.

Can someone help me with this? its solving systems by substitution

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: x = 1 and y = 2

Given:
y = -3x + 5
5x - 4y = -3

Since we are given y, let’s sub it in the second equation.

5x - 4(-3x + 5) = -3
5x + 12x - 20 = -3
17x = 17
x = 1

After finding x, we can now find y.

5(1) - 4y = -3
-4y = -8
y = 2

Checking:

y = -3x + 5
2 = -3(1) + 5
2 = 2

5x - 4y = -3
5(1) - 4(2) = -3
-3 = -3

Can you identify these numbers as rational or irrational. Please explain.<br><br> -√127 and 291.87

irina [24]

An irrational number/value is one you cannot express in terms of a ration, or a fraction, it cannot be written as fraction

now 291.87... is simple, two decimals, so you use two zeros at the botom and end up with $\bf \cfrac{29187}{100}$ and boom, there you are, a fraction, nice and dandy

now, let's see the first one -√(127) well, low and behold, 127 is a prime number, and and thus is has no two factors that'd serve as root, so, there's no rational root that'd give that, that makes it irrational
