The sum of a number and two times a smaller number is 62. Three times the bigger number exceeds the smaller number by 116. What

are the numbers?

Answer:

SMALLER NUMBER = 14

BIGGER NUMNER = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Two equations can be derived from the question

a + 2b = 62 equation 1

3a - b = 116 equation 2

a = bigger number

b = smaller number

multiply equation 1 by 3

3a + 6b = 186 equation 3

subtract equation 2 from 3

5b = 70

b = 14

substitute for b in equation 1

a + 28 = 62

a = 34

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

n is the number of selections and k the number selected, that is

n = 5 and k = 2

note that n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2) ..... × 3 × 2 × 1, thus

$\frac{5(4)(3)(2)(1)}{2!(5-2)!}$

= $\frac{120}{2(1)3(2)(1)}$

= $\frac{120}{2(6)}$

= $\frac{120}{12}$

= 10

A Basketball Tournament starts with 128 Teams.in each round half of the teams are eliminated How Many teams remain after 5 round

Brrunno [24]

Total number of team in starting = 128 teams.

In each round half of the teams are eliminated.

Therefore, number of teams remain after first round = 128/2 = 64.

The number of teams remain after second round = 64/2 = 32.

The number of teams remain after third round = 32/2 = 16.

The number of teams remain after fourth round = 16/2 = 8.

The number of teams remain after fifth round = 8/2 = 4.

<h3>Therefore, after 5 rounds there remain only 4 teams.</h3>

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 420 gram setting. It is

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$t=\frac{424-420}{\frac{26}{\sqrt{61}}}=1.202$

$p_v =2*P(t_{(60)}>1.202)=0.234$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is NOT different from 420. So the specification is satisfied.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=424$ represent the sample mean

$s=26$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=61$ sample size

$\mu_o =420$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is different from 420 or not, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 420$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 420$

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{424-420}{\frac{26}{\sqrt{61}}}=1.202$

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

$df=n-1=61-1=60$

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(60)}>1.202)=0.234$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.01$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can conclude that the true mean is NOT different from 420. So the specification is satisfied.

The formula can be used to work outthe cost, in riyals, of hiring a helmet inQatar for a number of days.Kasun wants to hire a bi

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Cost of hiring the bicycle for 14 days is:

Cost = 65 * 14 days + 44 = 954 riyals

b) The number of days the bicycle is hired is to be the same as the number of days the bicycle is to be hired. Let us assume that the bicycle and helmet is to be hired for x days, hence:

Cost of bicycle = 65 * x + 14 = 65x + 44

Cost of helmet = 12.5 * x = 12.5x

Total cost = 65x + 44 + 12.5x = 77.5x + 44

Since 750 riyals is available, hence:

750 = 77.5x + 44

77.5x = 706

x = 9.11

Therefore the maximum number of days is 11. The total cost for 11 days is:

Total cost = 77.5(9) + 44 = 741.5 riyals

Money not spent = 750 riyals - 741.5 riyals = 8.5 riyals

Solve for q.<br> a=qb+r<br> What is q equal to?<br> q=a−r−b<br> q=a−r/b<br> q=a/b −r<br> q=a/rb

Mademuasel [1]

The given equation is $a=qb+r$

We need to solve the equation for q.

<u>Value of q:</u>

The value of q can be determined by solving the equation $a=qb+r$ for q.

Thus, subtracting both sides of the equation by r, we get;

$a-r=qb$

Now, dividing both sides of the equation by b, we have;

$\frac{a-r}{b}=\frac{qb}{b}$

Simplifying the terms, we get;

$\frac{a-r}{b}=q$

Therefore, the value of q is $q=\frac{a-r}{b}$

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
