Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Byron is 2 yrs younger than Cindy. 8 years ago the sum of their ages was 14.

Byron is 2 years at that time. Definitely, Cindy is 12 years old so the sum of their ages was 14. Let us just add 8 years to Byron's age at that time so 2 + 8 = 10

P.S: This just based on my understanding of the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

let age of Byron be b yr old and Cindy be c yr old.

c = b + 2 --(1)

b - 8 + c - 8 = 14

b + c = 30 --(2)

sub (1) into (2):

2b = 28

b = 14

therefore Byron is 14 yr old now.

D. 9x-X+5x =260 Bx= 200

yan [13]

Answer:

We first must solve for x

$9x-x+5x=260\\13x=260\\x=30$

When we have x, we put it in to the second equation

$Bx=200\\\\B=\frac{200}{x} \\\\B=\frac{200}{30}\\\\B=\frac{20}{3}$

A statistics instructor believes that fewer than 20% of Evergreen Valley College (EVC) students attended the opening night midni

Alex17521 [72]

Answer: It is believed that exactly 20% of Evergreen Valley college students attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest harry potter movie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 84

x = 11

So, $\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{11}{84}=0.13$

p = 0.20

So, hypothesis:

$H_0:p=\hat{p}\\\\H_a:\hat{p}$

so, test statistic value would be

$z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{0.13-0.20}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2\times 0.8}{84}}}\\\\z=-1.604$

At 1% level of significance, critical value would be

z= 2.58

Since 2.58>-1.604

So, We will accept the null hypothesis.

Hence, It is believed that exactly 20% of Evergreen Valley college students attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest harry potter movie.
