Two numbers differ by 5. Seven times the smaller plus four times the larger is 108. Find the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
ladessa [460]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<h3>8 and 13</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

If the two numbers differs by 5, then;

y-x = 5 ...1

x is the smaller

y is the larger

If seven times the smaller plus four times the larger is 108, this is expressed as;

7x + 4y = 108 ... 2

From 1;

y = 5 + x .... 3

Substitute 3 into 2;

From 2;

7x + 4y = 108

7x + 4(5+x) = 108

7x + 20 + 4x = 108

11x + 20 = 108

11x = 108-20

11x = 88

x = 88/11

x = 8

Since y = 5+x

y = 5 + 8

y = 13

hence the numbers are 8 and 13

It is estimated that approximately 8.23% Americans are afflicted with diabetes. Suppose that a certain diagnostic evaluation for
allsm [11]

The probabilities in this problem are given as follows:

a) False positive: 0.0321 = 3.21%.

b) Diagnosed as not having diabetes: 0.8872 = 88.72%.

c) Actually has diabetes, if diagnosed as not having: 0.0019 = 0.19%.

<h3>What is Conditional Probability?</h3>

Conditional probability is the probability of one event happening, considering a previous event. The formula is given as follows:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which the parameters are described as follows:

  • P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that event A happened.
  • P(A \cap B) is the probability of both events A and B happening.
  • P(A) is the probability of event A happening.

For item a, we have that:

  • 100 - 8.23 = 91.77% of the people do not have diabetes.
  • Of those, 3.5% are diagnosed with diabetes.

Hence the probability of a false positive is given as follows:

p = 0.9177 x 0.035 = 0.0321 = 3.21%.

For item b, the percentage of people who is not diagnosed as having diabetes is divided as:

  • 96.5% of 91.77% (do not have diabetes).
  • 2% of 8.23% (have diabetes).

Hence the probability is:

P(A) = 0.965 x 0.9177 + 0.02 x 0.0823 = 0.8872 = 88.72%.

For item c, we find the conditional probability, as follows:

P(A \cap B) = 0.02 \times 0.0823 = 0.001646

Then:

P(B|A) = 0.001646/0.8872 = 0.0019 = 0.19%.

Find the volume of the square pyramid below
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a pyramid is

V = \frac{1}{3} area of base × perpendicular height (h)

area of square base = 4² = 16 and h = 4, hence

V = \frac{1}{3} × 16 × 4 = \frac{64}{3} = 21 \frac{1}{3} ft³

Alona [7]

{{{ THE BOLDED CHARACTERS SHOULD BE SMALL. }}}

SEQUENCE: 6, 18, 54, 162

18/6 = 3

54/18 = 3

162/54 = 3

then, r (common ratio) = 3

_________________________________________

RECURSIVE RULE: r = 3

an = a(n - 1) × r       [formula]

ANSWER: an = a(n - 1) × 3

_________________________________________

ITERIATIVE RULE: r = 3, a1 = 6

an = a1 × r^(n - 1)       [formula] [ ^(n-1) is an exponent]

ANSWER: an = 6 × 3^(n - 1)
