Answer: The greatest age Brooke could be is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation and an inequality with the information given:

M = 2B+3 ⇒<em>Mia is three years older than twice her sister Brooke’s age. </em>

M +B < 30 ⇒<em>the sum of their ages is less than 30. </em>

Replacing M in the inequality

2B+3+B <30

2B+B <30-3

3B<27

B <27/3

B< 9

The greatest age Brooke could be is 8. (Not nine because the expression isn't less or equal B≤9)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Lets say Mia is represented by M and Brook is represented by B.

M=3xB
M+B=30

then you can plug it in to solve for B if M=3xB you can replace M in the bottom question with that

3B+B=30

4B=30
 divide both by 4 to solve for B

B=7.5 

Plug in your answer to check to be sure both sides are equal

3x7.5+7.5=30

30=30

So brook is 7 and 1/2

Mia is 3xB

7.5x3=30

Question:
NNADVOKAT [17]

1.) 9(4) + 8(5)

36 + 40 = 74

2.) 2(3) + 8(3)

6 + 24 = 30

3.) 4(5) + 7(5)

20 + 35 = 55

4.) 10(4) + 18(5)

40 + 90 = 130

5.) 2 + 8(1/4)

2 + 2 = 4

6.) 9(1/3) + 8(1/4)

3 + 2 = 5

7.) 3(8) + 7(4)

24 + 28 = 52

8.) 12(1/4) + 16(5)

4 + 80 = 84

In the 2000 presidential election, three candidates split the vote as follows:
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

c 23 and 0.46 are statistics and 0.484 is a  parameter

True. For this case the value 0.46 represent t statistic since from the sample obtained we can calculate the sample proportion of people who voted for Gore like this:

\hat p_{Gore]=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{23}{50}=0.46

Where X represent the people with the characteristic desired in the random sample selected.

So then we can say that 23 and 0.46 represent statistics since comes from the sample. And the value 0.484 is obtained from the population so then represent a parameter.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A parameter is any "numerical quantity that characterizes a given population or some aspect of it". For this case we are interested on proportions and we denote the population proportion by p

A statistic is "used to estimate the value of a population parameter". In other words is just an estimation of the population parameter of interest. Four our case the sample proportion denoted by \hat p represent the statistic for this case.

Solution for the problem

a 0.46 and 0.484 are statistics

False. 0.484 is not an statistic since it's the outcome from the original population and would represent the parameter "proportion of people who vote for Gore"

b 50 and 23 are statistics and 0.484 is a  parameter

False. The sample size is not an statistic is just a value selected in order to calculate the statistic.

c 23 and 0.46 are statistics and 0.484 is a  parameter

True. For this case the value 0.46 represent t statistic since from the sample obtained we can calculate the sample proportion of people who voted for Gore like this:

\hat p_{Gore]=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{23}{50}=0.46

Where X represent the people with the characteristic desired in the random sample selected.

So then we can say that 23 and 0.46 represent statistics since comes from the sample. And the value 0.484 is obtained from the population so then represent a parameter.
