Answer:

x = 12 , y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x , y are two numbers.

x > y

1 ) Three times the greater is 18 times their

difference

3x = 18( x - y )

x = 6( x - y )

x = 6x - 6y

6y = 5x

y = 5x/6 ——-( 1 )

2 ) 4 times the smaller is 4 less than twice

the sum of the two

4y + 4 = 2 ( x + y )

2y + 2 = x + y

y = x -2 ——( 2 )

From ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) ,

5x/6 = x -2

( 5x /6 ) - x = -2

( 5x - 6x ) /6 = -2

-x = -12

x = 12

Put x = 12 in equation ( 2 ) , we get

y = 12 - 2

y = 10

Therefore ,

x = 12 , y = 10

Use the information provided to determine a 95% confidence interval for the population variance. A researcher was interested in

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the population variance is (8.80, 32.45).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the population variance is given as follows:

$\frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2}}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}}$

It is provided that:

n = 20

s = 3.9

Confidence level = 95%

⇒ α = 0.05

Compute the critical values of Chi-square:

$\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.05/2, (20-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.025,19}=32.852\\\\\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2, (n-1)}=\chi^{2}_{1-0.05/2, (20-1)}=\chi^{2}_{0.975,19}=8.907$

*Use a Chi-square table.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population variance as follows:

$\frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{\alpha/2}}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(n-1)\cdot s^{2}}{\chi^{2}_{1-\alpha/2}}$

$\frac{(20-1)\cdot (3.9)^{2}}{32.852}\leq \sigma^{2}\leq \frac{(20-1)\cdot (3.9)^{2}}{8.907}\\\\8.7967\leq \sigma^{2}\leq 32.4453\\\\8.80\leq \sigma^{2}\leq 32.45$

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the population variance is (8.80, 32.45).

Which of these ordered pairs is a solution to the linear inequality 3y - 2x > 8?

Tanzania [10]

For this case we have the following inequality:
3y - 2x> 8
The first thing we should do is to graph the function.
Then, see the set of points that are the solution of the inequality.
The solution set is given by the shaded region.
See attached image.
Answer:
Shaded region.
