Answer:

Y= 13 X= 14

Step-by-step explanation:

X-Y=1 (add Y on both sides to cancel it out)

X=1+Y (now we pug in this for the next equation)

X+Y=27 is now (1+Y)+Y=27

1+Y+Y=27 (Combine like terms)

1+2Y=27 (Subtract 1 on both sides to cancel it out)

2Y=26 (Divide by 2 on both sides to cancel it out)

Y=13 (Now we plug it into the another equation)

X + Y = 27 is now X + 13 = 27

X+13=27 (subtract 13 on both sides)

X=14

Tpy6a [65]

The answer is c = n - 2

n - the number of tomatoes before the salad is made
c - the number of tomatoes after the salad is made

<span>Jolie uses 2 tomatoes (n - 2) every day to prepare her salad and then c tomatoes remained: n - 2 = c
</span>Or:

A recent survey showed that in a sample of 100 elementary school teachers, 15 were single. In a sample of 180 high school teache

trapecia [35]

Answer:

By using hypothesis test at α = 0.01, we cannot conclude that the proportion of high school teachers who were single greater than the proportion of elementary teachers who were single

Step-by-step explanation:

let p1 be the proportion of elementary teachers who were single

let p2 be the proportion of high school teachers who were single

Then, the null and alternative hypotheses are:

$H_{0}$ : p2=p1

$H_{a}$ : p2>p1

We need to calculate the test statistic of the sample proportion for elementary teachers who were single.

It can be calculated as follows:

$\frac{p(s)-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{N} } }$ where

p(s) is the sample proportion of high school teachers who were single ( $\frac{36}{180} =0.2$ )
p is the proportion of elementary teachers who were single ( $\frac{15}{100} =0.15$ )
