Answer:

{12, 16}

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of two <em>numbers (x and y)</em> is 4.  Thus, if y is the larger, then y - x = 4.  Also, y = 2x - 8.

So we need to solve the system of linear equations

y - x = 4

y = 2x - 8

Subbing 2x - 8 for y, in the first equation, we get  (2x - 8) - x = 4, or

x - 8 = 4, and conclude that x = 12.  Then, because y - x = 4, y must be 16.

The numbers are 12 and 16.

In a paint factory, an old conveyer line has filled 10 barrels of paint, and is filling more at a rate of 2 barrels per minute.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

First line:

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2x + 10

Second line

y = mx+b

y = 3x+0  since there are no barrels filled on this line when they flip the switch

Setting the two equations equal

2x+10 = 3x

Subtract 2x from each side

2x+10-2x= 3x-2x

10 = x

Each line will have filled 10 barrels when they numbers are equal.

In a restaurant, the proportion of people who order coffee with their dinner is .9. a simple random sample of 144 patrons of the
antoniya [11.8K]

Let P be the proportion of people who order coffee with their dinner . Let n be the sample size

P=0.9 and n=144

P follows Normal distribution .

a. The expected value is E(p) = P =0.9

Standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}

= \sqrt{\frac{0.9* (1-0.9)}{144}}

Standard deviation = 0.025

The shape of sampling distribution is bell shaped symmetric about mean.

b. The probability that the proportion of people who will order coffee with their meal is between 0.85 and 0.875

P(0.85 < p < 0.875) = P(\frac{0.85 -0.9}{0.025} < \frac{p-mean}{standard deviation} < \frac{0.875-0.9}{0.025}  )

= P(-2 < Z < -1)

= P(Z < -1) - P(Z < -2)

= 0.1587 - 0.0228

P(0.85 < p < 0.875) = 0.1359

The probability that the proportion of people who will order coffee with their meal is between 0.85 and 0.875 is 0.1359

c. the probability that the proportion of people who will order coffee with their meal is at least 0.945

P(p > 0.945) = P( \frac{p-mean}{standard deviation} > \frac{0.945 - 0.9}{0.025}  )

= P(z > 1.8)

= 1 - P(z < 1.8)

= 1 -0.9641

P(p > 0.945) = 0.0359

the probability that the proportion of people who will order coffee with their meal is at least 0.945 is 0.0359
