Answer:

Numbers are 1050, 1200, 2550, 5100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the four numbers are a, b, c, d.

Since second exceeds the first by 1/7 of the first.

b = a + (a/7) = 8a/7

Third exceeds the sum of first two by 200.

c = a + b + 300 = a + (8a/7) + 300 = (15a/7) + 300

Fourth exceeds the sum of the first three by 300

d = a + b + c + 300 = a + (8a/7) + (15a/7) + 300 + 300 = a + (23a/7) + 600

d = (30a/7)+600

And sum of four numbers is 9900

a + b + c + d = 9900--------(1)

By putting the values of b, c, d in the equation (1)

a + (8a/7) + (15a/7) + 300 + (30a/7) + 600 = 9900

a + (8a/7) + (15a/7) + (30a/7) = 9900 - 300 - 600 = 9000

a + [(8a + 15a + 30a)/7] = 9000

a + (53a/7) = 9000

60a/7 = 9000

a = 9000×7/60 = 1050

Now we put the values of a and get the numbers

b = 8a/7 = 8×1050/7 = 8×150 = 1200

c = (15a/7) + 300 = (15×1050)/7 + 300 = 15×150 + 300 = 2250 + 300 = 2550

and finally from equation 1

1050 + 1200 + 2550 + d = 9900

d + 4800 = 9900

d = 9900 - 4800 = 5100

Therefore the numbers are 1050, 1200, 2550 & 5100.

Answer:

1050, 1200, 2550 and  5100.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the first number is x then the second is  x + 1/7x.

The third =  x + x + 1/7x + 300 and the fourth = x + x + 1/7x + x + x + 1/7x+ 300 + 300.

So our equation is:-

8x +  4 * 1/7x  + 900 = 9900

60/7 = 9000

60x = 7*9000

x = 1050.

Therefore the 4 numbers are 1050,  *1/7*1050 = 1200, 2550 and  5100.

3 (a) A random sample of 200 voters in a town is selected, and 114 are found to support an annexation suit. Find the 96% confide
hammer [34]

Answer:

a. 0.498 < p < 0.642

b. We are 96% sure that the error of estimator ^p = 0.57 will not exceed 0.07001

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Sample, n = 200 voters

Let x represent those that support annexation suit.

x = 114

First, we'll calculate the probability of supporting annexation suit.

Let p represent the probability of supporting annexation suit.

p = x/n

p = 114/200

p = 0.57

From elementary probability;

p + q = 1 where q represent probability of failure.

In this case, q represent probability of not supporting annexation suit

Substitute 0.57 for p

0.57 + q = 1

q = 1 - 0.57

q = 0.43

To find the 96% confidence interval for the fraction of the voting population favoring the suit;

The confidence interval is bounded by the following;

^p - z(α/2) √(pq/n) < p < ^p + z(α/2) √(pq/n)

At this point, we have values for p,q and n.

Next is to solve z(α/2)

First, we'll find the value of α/2 using

C.I = 100%(1 - α) where C.I = 96%

96% = 100%(1 - α)

1 - α = 96%

1 - α = 0.96

α = 1 - 0.96

α = 0.04

So,

α/2 = 0.04/2

α/2 = 0.02

So, z(α/2) = z(0.02)

Using normal probability table

z0.02 = 2.055 --- This is the closest value which leaves an area of 0.02 to the right and 0.98 to the left

Recalling our formula to solve 96% interval;

^p - z(α/2) √(pq/n) < p < ^p + z(α/2) √(pq/n)

By substituton, we have

0.57 - 2.055 * √(0.57*0.43/200) < p < 0.57 + 2.055 * √(0.57*0.43/200)

0.57 - 0.071939677073920 < p < 0.57 + 0.071939677073920

0.498060322926079 < p < 0.641939677073920 ---- Approximate

0.498 < p < 0.642

b. Here, we'll make use of the following theorem;

Using ^p as an estimate

We are 100%(1 - α) confident that the error will not exceed z(α/2) √(pq/n)

From (a), we have.

z(α/2) = 2.055, p = 0.57, q = 0.43, n = 200

By substituton, z(α/2) √(pq/n) becomes

2.055 * √(0.57 * 0.43/200)

= 2.055 * 0.071939677073920

= 0.070014284256857 ---- Approximate

= 0.07001

We are 96% sure that the error of estimator ^p = 0.57 will not exceed 0.07001

ikadub [295]

Answer:

48 minutes long

Step-by-step explanation:

For a total amount of minutes the lessons are, take 4x60. 4 for the total time in the lessons and 60 for 60 minutes in an hour. 4x60= 240 minutes.

Take 240/5. 240 is the total number of minutes and with the five lessons being the same amount of time, you divide the total number of minutes by the number of lessons. 240/5= 48 minutes

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (−1, −3) and has a slope of 4?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

formula for point slope form is:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

just plug in numbers from the point (-1, -3) for x1 and y1. The slope 4, would plug into m.
