Answer:

You can try to write two equation from the question

Call x a number and y the other.

The sum of them is 44: x + y = 44

The difference (substract) is 2: x - y = 2

System:

x+y=44

x-y = 2

You can just sum both equations, as the y disappear:

2x = 46

x =46/ 2 = 23

We replace in the equation:

23 - y = 2

y = 21

And we know the numbers are 21 and 23

Answer:

21 & 23

Step-by-step explanation:

44 ÷ 2 = 22

The two numbers are going to be close to 22.

21 + 23 = 44

32 - 21 = 2

A manufacturer of college textbooks is interested in estimating the strength of the bindings produced by a particular binding ma

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

538 books should be tested.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.005 = 0.995$ , so $z = 2.575$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How many books should be tested to estimate the average force required to break the binding to within 0.08 lb with 99% confidence?

n books should be tested.

n is found when $M = 0.08$

We have that $\sigma = 0.72$

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.08 = 2.575*\frac{0.72}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.08\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.72$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.72}{0.08}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*0.72}{0.08})^{2}$

$n = 537.1$

Rounding up

538 books should be tested.

What is the constant of variation for y=1/6x?

timurjin [86]

The equation for Direct Variation is y =kx, where k is the constant, so the constant being multiplied by x is (1/6). This means that k = (1/6).
