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

The square of a positive number is equal to its triple added to 28. What is this number?

$\huge{ \rm{Answer:}}$

The roots of the equation are 7 and -4, because 7 - 4 = 3 and 7. - 4 = -28

Step-by-step explanation:

The positive number is equal to 7.

Assuming that the number is equal to "x" we have:

$\begin{gathered}x^2 = 3x + 28\\\\x^2 - 3x - 28 = 0\\\\a = 1\\\\b = -3\\\\c = -28\\\end{gathered}$

By the sum and product method, we have:

$\begin{gathered}S = -b / a\\\\S = -(-3) / 1\\\\S = 3\\\\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}P= c / a\\\\P = 28 / 1\\\\P = 28\\\\\end{gathered}$

Suppose the number of births that occur in a hospital can be assumed to have a Poisson distribution with parameter = the average

arsen [322]

Answer:

0.5372

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of births that occur in a hospital can be assumed to have a Poisson distribution with parameter = the average birth rate of 1.8 births per hour.

Let X be the no of births in the hospital per hour

X is Poisson

with mean = 1.8

the probability of observing at least two births in a given hour at the hospital

= $P(X\geq 2)\\= 1-F(1)\\= 1-0.4628\\= 0.5372$

the probability of observing at least two births in a given hour at the hospital = 0.5372
