Let white marbles = x

Purple marbles = 5x + 2

Given:

x + 5x + 2 = 104

6x = 102

x = 17

Purple marbles = 5(17) + 2 = 85 + 2 = 87

Let Home runs = X

Triples would be X-3 ( 3 less triples than home runs)

Doubles would be 3x ( 3 times as many doubles as home runs)

Singles would be 45(x-3) ( 45 times as many singles as triples)

Simplify the equation for singles to be 45x-153

Now you have X + x-3 + 3x + 4x-135 = 262

Simplify:

50x - 138 = 262

Add 138 to both sides:

50x = 400

Divide both sides by 50:

x = 400/50

x = 8

Home runs = x = 8

Triples = x-3 = 8-3 = 5

Doubles = 3x = 3(8) = 24

Singles = 45(x-3) = 45(8-3) = 45(5) = 225

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Larger sample size gives less std error and hence test statistic is larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a newspaper  is conducting a statewide survey concerning the race for governor. The newspaper will take a simple random sample of n registered voters and determine X = the number of voters that will vote for the Democratic candidate. Is there evidence that a clear majority of the population will vote for the Democratic candidate

Group        I   II

Success    640 64

Total   1200 120

p 0.533333333 0.533333333

q 0.466666667 0.466666667

se 0.014401646 0.045542003

p diff 0.033333333 0.033333333

Z 2.314550249 0.731925055

p      0.01           0.233

we find that though p is the same, std error is very small for larger sample size thus making z statistic much bigger.  So we get p value less than 0.05 whereas for 120 sample size, std error is large so Z statistic is small thus making p value to accept null hypothesis
