If y = 2x and 3x - 3y = 2, then x =

Answer:

The value of x is equal to -2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem it says that y equals 2x, and that 3x - 3y = 2.

The first step is to substitute 2x into y.

3x - 3(2x) = 2.

The next step is to use distributive property.

-3(2x) = -6x.

Now we need to add like terms.

3x - 6x = -3x.

Which gives us the equation -3x = 2.

The final step is to divide on both sides to get the value of x.

-3x/-3 = 2/-3.

x = -2/3.

So as you can see, x is equal to -2/3.

We can also check to make sure by redoing the problem, but substituting the value of x.

3(-2/3) - 3(2 * -2/3) = 2.

-2 - 3 * -4/3 = 2.

-2 + 4 = 2.

2 = 2.

The value of x is indeed -2/3.

An engineer has designed a valve that will regulate water pressure on an automobile engine. The valve was tested on 180180 engin
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

z=\frac{4.6-4.8}{\frac{0.9}{\sqrt{180}}}=-2.98    

p_v =P(Z  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis,and we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly lower thn 4.8 at 10% of signficance.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=4.6 represent the sample mean

\sigma=0.9 represent the population standard deviation

n=180 sample size  

\mu_o =4.8 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if thetrue mean is below the specifications, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 4.8  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 4.8  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{4.6-4.8}{\frac{0.9}{\sqrt{180}}}=-2.98    

P-value

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(Z  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis,and we have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean is significantly lower thn 4.8 at 10% of signficance.

A bowl of Halloween candy has 17 Kit-Kats, 23 Hershey bars, 11 Starbursts, and 14 Skittles packets.
gladu [14]

Answer:

a.) 8/13 = 0.6154.

b) 11/65 = 0.1692

c.) 0.0267

d.) 0.0222

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly, we determine total number of candies.

17 kit kat(K)+ 23 hershey(H) + 11 starburst(B) + 14 skittles(S) = 65 candies.

Since, Probability = favourable outcome / possible outcome.

With replacement,

a.) probability of chocolate candy (kitkat or hershey) = 17/65 or 23/65

= 17/65 + 23/65

=40/65 = 8/13

b.) probability of selecting a starburst = 11/65

When without replacement:,

c) 2 kit kats, 1 skittles as first three picks and one chocolate candy as the last pick, = [KKSK], [KSKK], [SKKK], [KKSH], [KSKH], [SKKH]

[(17/65 * 16/64 * 14/63 * 15/62) × 3] + [(17/65 * 16/64 * 14/63 * 23/62) ×3]

Note: first bracket and fourth brackets are multiplied by 3 because the value of the first bracket is same for the first three brackets and the second three brackets also have the same values.

Re:chocolate candy means either KitKat or Hershey.

=[(51720/16248960) × 3] + [(87584/16248960) ×3]

=0.0105 +0.0162

= 0.0267.

d.) 1 kitkat, 1 skittles and 1 hershey as first 3 picks and one Starburst as the last pick.

= [KSHB], [KHSB], [SKHB], [SHKB], [HKSB], [HSKB]

= [(17/65 * 14/64 * 23/63 * 11/62) × 6]

note: multiplied by 6 because we will have the same value for all 6 brackets

= 60214/16248960 * 6

= 0.0222.
