Answer:

Teo is 11 years old and Richard is 26 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R be the age of Richard and T be the age of Teo.

First set up the equations:

The combined age of Teo and Richard is 37:

R+T=37

Richard is four years old than twice Teo's age:

R=2T+4

Then, solve the equations:

Substitute (2) to (1) and solve for T:

(2T+4)+T=37

3T=11

T=11

Solve for R using (2):

R=2(11)+4

R=22+4

R=26

olasank [31]

Answer:

Test statistic Z= 0.13008 < 1.96 at 0.10 level of significance

null hypothesis is accepted

There is no difference proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(I):-

Given surveyed two random samples of 390 men and 360 women who were tested

first sample proportion

$p_{1} = \frac{360}{390} = 0.9230$

second sample proportion

$p_{2} = \frac{47}{52} = 0.9038$

Step(ii):-

Null hypothesis : H₀ : There is no difference proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

Alternative Hypothesis:-

There is difference between proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

$Z = \frac{p_{1}- p_{2} }{\sqrt{PQ(\frac{1}{n_{1} }+\frac{1}{n_{2} } } }$

where

$P = \frac{n_{1}p_{1} +n_{2} p_{2} }{n_{1}+n_{2} }$

P = 0.920

$Z= \frac{0.9230-0.9038}{\sqrt{0.920 X0.08(\frac{1}{390}+\frac{1}{52} } )}$

Test statistic Z = 0.13008

Level of significance = 0.10

The critical value Z₀.₁₀ = 1.645

Test statistic Z=0.13008 < 1.645 at 0.1 level of significance

Null hypothesis is accepted

There is no difference proportion of positive tests among men is different from the proportion of positive tests among women

Find the distance between each pair of points L(-7,0) ,Y(5,9)

Sedbober [7]

Answer: The distance is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between L and Y find the difference in the x and y coordinates then square them and add them to find their square root.

-7-5= -12

0-9 = -9

12^2 + 9^2 = d^2 where d is the distance

144 + 81 = d^2

225 = d^2

d= $\sqrt{225}$

d= 15
