Answer:

<u>The numbers are 40 and 49</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller number = x

Larger number = y

Let's write our system of equations:

x + y = 89

3x = y + 71

***************************

x = 89 - y

Substituting x in the 2nd equation and solving for y:

3 (89 - y) = y + 71

267 - 3y = y + 71

-3y - y = 71 - 267 (Like terms)

-4y = - 196

y = -196/-4

y = 49

Solving for x in the 1st equation:

x + y = 89

x + 49 = 89

x = 89 - 49

x = 40

<u>The numbers are 40 and 49</u>

Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it can be said with 99% confidenc

quester [9]

Answer: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the minimum sample size is given by :_

$n=(\dfrac{z^*\cdot \sigma}{E})^2$

, where $\sigma$ = population standard deviation.

z*= critical z-value.

E= Margin of error.

Given : $\sigma= 13$

E= ± 8

We know that critical value corresponding to 99% confidence level = z*=2.576 [Using z-table]

Then, the required sample size would be :

$n=(\dfrac{(2.576)\cdot (13)}{8})^2$

$\Rightarrow\ n=(4.186)^2$

$\Rightarrow\ n=17.522596\approx18$ [Round to next integer.]

Hence, the required minimum sample size = 18

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \boldsymbol{\sf{-8 < 3x+1 < 13 }} \end{gathered}$}$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \boldsymbol{\sf{-8+-1 < 3x+1+-1 < 13+-1 \ (Add \ -1 \ to \ all \ parts) }} \end{gathered}$}$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \boldsymbol{\sf{\frac{-9}{3} < \frac{3x}{3} < \frac{12}{3} \ (Divide \ all \ parts \ by \ 3) }} \end{gathered}$}$

$\red{\boxed{\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \boldsymbol{\sf{-3 < x < 4 }} \end{gathered}$} }}$

Find the solution to the following system by substitution.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

A. (2,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + y = 20

y = 5x

The second equation is already solved for y, so substitute 5x for y in the first equation to find x.

5x + 5x = 20

10x = 20

x = 2

Now substitute 2 for x in the second original equation to find y.

y = 5(2)

y = 10

Answer: (2, 10) which is A.

Help please algebra graph

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

C. y=-2/3x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a linear equation is y=mx+b, where m= the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is -2/3 because slope equals rise over run and the line goes down 2 then right 3. Finally, the y-intercept must be 6 because the line intersects with the y-axis at the value of 6.

Identify the domain and range of each relationship. Represent the relation with a mapping diagram. Is the relation a function?

Ivenika [448]

Remember, to be a function, all elements in the domain should correspond to one element in the range.
The domain is the x coordinate, range is the y coordinate.
The domain we can solve for as the set {4.2, 5, 7}. The range is the set {0, 1.5, 2.2, 4.8}.
But we see that an element in the domain corresponds to more than one element in the range, thus making it not a function.
