Answer: the two numbers are 46 and 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sum of two numbers = 83

Sum of two times the first number and three times the second number = 203

From the question :

Let the numbers = a and b respectively

a + b = 83 - - - (1)

2*a + 3*b = 203

2a + 3b = 203 - - - (2)

From (1) :

a + b = 83

a = 83 - b

Substitute a = 83 - b into (2)

2(83 - b) + 3b = 203

166 - 2b + 3b = 203

166 + b = 203

b = 203 - 166

b = 37

From;

a + b = 83

a = 83 - b

a = 83 - 37

a = 46

  • But according to sociologist the percentage is actually greater than 75 percent.
  • The correct answer is A one-sample zz-test for a difference in population proportions.
  • The One proportion Z-test is used to compare proportion which is observed to a theoretical one, only when there are only two categories.
  • A z-test is a statistical test which is used to determine whether there are two population which means there are different when the variances are known and the sample size is relatively large.

5(x+1)=20<br><br> What is is the answer?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Steps to solve:

5(x + 1) = 20

~Distributive property

5x + 5 = 20

~Subtract 5 to both sides

5x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5

~Simplify

5x = 15

~Divide 5 to both sides

5x/5 = 15/5

~Simplify

x = 3

Best of Luck!

Suppose a system of linear equations has a 3 5 augmented matrix whose fifth column is a pivot column. is the system consistent?
likoan [24]

Answer:

The system will be inconsistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a system of linear equations has a 3×5 augmented matrix whose fifth column is a pivot column.

Then such a system is not consistent because since the augmented matrix has a pivot in fifth column it means that the new column added to the matrix A will lead to increase in the rank as that of matrix  A.

Hence the rank of A and Augment A will not remain same and hence the system will be inconsistent.
