The difference between two numbers is 16. Three times the larger number is seven times the smaller. What are the numbers?​

Answer:

12 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the numbers using x and y.  Then y - x = 16.  (y is the larger one.)

Then 3y = 7x, and y = (7/3)x.

Substituting (7/3)x for y in y - x = 16, we get:

(7/3)x - x = 16.

Eliminate the fraction by multiplying all three terms by 3:

7x - 3x = 48, or 4x = 48, yielding x = 12.  Then y = (7/3)(12) = 28.

On a certain portion of an experiment, a statistical test result yielded a p-value of 0.21. What can you conclude? 2(0.21) = 0.4
mina [271]

Answer: correct: B. If the null hypothesis is true, one could expect to get a test statistic at least as extreme as that observed 21% of the time, so the test is not statistically significant.

Step-by-step explanation:

the test of the statistical p helps us to find the probability that a statistical value occurs in the null hypothesis, in the exercise we obtain a value of p of 0.21, we assume that for it to have statistical significance the value must be less than 0.05 which is constant, if this result is higher it indicates that there is no statistically significant evidence

Explanation:
Given:
x
3
+
14
x
2
+
60
x
+
72
=
0

By the rational roots theorem, any rational zeros of the given cubic are expressible in the form
p
q
for integers
p
,
q
with
p
a divisor of the constant term
72
and
q
a divisor of the coefficient
1
of the leading term.
That means that the only possible rational zeros are:
±
1
,
±
2
,
±
3
,
±
4
,
±
6
,
±
8
,
±
9
,
±
12
,
±
18
,
±
24
,
±
36
,
±
72
In addition, note that all of the coefficients are positive and the constant term is non-zero. As a result, any real zero (rational or otherwise) of this cubic must be negative.
So that leaves rational possibilities:
−
1
,
−
2
,
−
3
,
−
4
,
−
6
,
−
8
,
−
9
,
−
12
,
−
18
,
−
24
,
−
36
,
−
72
We find:
(

(

)

+

−

So

is a zero and
(

)
a factor:
x

x

60
+
72
=
(
x
+
2
)
(
x
2
+
12
x
+
36
)
Without trying any more of our "possible" zeros, we can recognise the remaining quadratic factor as a perfect square trinomial:
x
2
+
12
x
+
36
=
x
2
+
2
(
x
)
(
6
)
+

2
=
(
x
+

)

So the factored form of the given cubic equation can be written:
(
x
+
2
)
(
x

)
