Answer:

Let the larger number = y and the smaller number = x.

The largest number is 10 less than twice the smaller number. Remember that less than means subtract the 10 from the other amount while twice means multiply by two. Therefore,

y = 2x - 10

The sum of the two numbers is 38. Remember sum means add the two numbers to get their result. Therefore,

x + y = 38

Since y = 2x - 10, we rewrite the lower equation as:

x + (2x - 10) = 38

Solving:

3x - 10 = 38

3x = 48

x = 16

The lesser number is 16 and the greater number is 2(16) - 10 or 22.

Find the limit (Picture Provided)

aev [14]

As long as $g(x)$ (or whichever function appears in the denominator) does not approach 0 as $x\to c$ ,

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to c}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{\lim\limits_{x\to c}f(x)}{\lim\limits_{x\to c}g(x)}$

In this case,

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to4}\frac gh(x)=\lim_{x\to4}\frac{g(x)}{h(x)}=\frac0{-2}=2$

so the answer is B.

Answer:

Hence the best estimate is population with correct option is 74% and

the value for x=148

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A sample of 200

Of which 148 prefer brand new coffee

To Find:

Which statement is true?

Solution:

n=200

x=148

remaining 52 prefer old ones .

So estimate population proportion,

p=x/n

p=148/200

p=0.74

p=74 %

Now, when x=52

p=x/n,

p=52/200

p=0.26

p=26%

There is no option for 52 and 24 %

Hence x=148 and p=74%.
