Answer:

$\huge\boxed{14\ \text{and}\ 7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$n,\ m-\text{positive integer}\\\\n=2m-\text{a positive integer is twice another}\\\\\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}-\text{the sum of the reciprocal of the two positive integer is }\ \dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\text{We have the system of equations:}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}n=2m&(1)\\\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}&(2)\end{array}\right$

$\text{Substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{1\cdot2}{m\cdot2}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{2}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1+2}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{3}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\Rightarrow2m=14\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2m}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\\boxed{m=7}$

$\text{Substitute it to (1):}\\\\n=2\cdot7\\\\\boxed{n=14}$

Statistics Probability

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the variable as follows:

M = male student

F = female student

Y = ate breakfast

N = did not ate breakfast

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected student ate breakfast as follows:

$P(Y)=\frac{n(Y)}{N}\\\\=\frac{198}{330}\\\\=0.60$

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected student is female and ate breakfast as follows:

$P(F\cap Y)=\frac{n(F\cap Y)}{N}\\\\=\frac{121}{330}\\\\=0.367$

(c)

Compute the probability a randomly selected student is male, given that the student ate breakfast as follows:

$P(M|Y)=\frac{n(M\cap Y)}{n(Y)}\\\\=\frac{77}{198}\\\\=0.389$

(d)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected student ate breakfast, given that the student is male as follows:

$P(Y|M)=\frac{n(Y\cap M)}{n(M)}\\\\=\frac{77}{154}\\\\=0.50$

(e)

Compute probability of the student selected "is male" or "did not eat breakfast" as follows:

$P(M\cup N)=P(M)+P(N)-P(M\cap N)\\\\=\frac{n(M)}{N}+\frac{n(N)}{N}-\frac{n(M\cap N)}{N}\\\\=\frac{n(M)-n(N)-n(M\cap N)}{N}\\\\=\frac{154+132-77}{330}\\\\=0.633$

(f)

Compute the probability of "is male and did not eat breakfast as follows:

$P(M\cap N)=\frac{n(M\cap N)}{N}\\\\=\frac{77}{330}\\\\=0.233$

Last year, Mr. Engle's total income was $52,000, while his total expenses were $53,800. Use the expression I-E/12, where I repre

olga55 [171]

Given Mr. Engle’s total income, I = $52,000 and total expenses, E = $53,800, solving for average difference between income and expenses per month:
(I-E)/12 = ($52,000 - $53,800)/12
(I-E)/12 = - $1,800/12
(I-E)/12 = -$150
This means that Mr. Engle’s expenses exceed his income by an average of $150 each month in the said year.
