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.

Tema [17]

Answer:

a.  0.6588

b. 0.3978

c. 0. 279

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question the success and failure are given the number of outcomes is fixed so binomial distribution can be applied.

Here success=  p = 12 % or 12/100 = 0.12

failure = q= 1-p = 1-0.12 = 0.88

n= 10

Using binomial probability distribution

a. Probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1 is calculated as:

P (x=0,1) = 0.12 ⁰(0.88)¹⁰10 C0  + 0.12 (0.88)⁹ 10 C1=  1* 0.279 * 1  + 0.12 ( 0.3165) 10 =  0. 279 + 0.3978=  0.6588

b. Probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos is calculated as

P (x=1) =  0.12 (0.88)⁹ 10 C1=  0.12 ( 0.3165) 10 =  0.3978

c. Probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos is

P (x=0) = 0.12 ⁰(0.88)¹⁰10 C0  =  1* 0.279 * 1   =  0. 279
