Answer:

See Down

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving algebraic word problems, we usually assign the variable to the standard of comparison. In this case, the standard of comparison is the age of Tom, so

Let x = Tom's age. Then

"4 less than twice the age of Tom" translates to 2x - 4.

The sum of their ages is 41, so

x + 2x - 4 = 41

Simplifying,

3x - 4 = 41

3x = 45

x = 15

Therefore, Tom is 15, Joe is 2(15) - 4 = 26

Illusion [34]

Answer:

The right answer is:

(a) 0.1456

(b) 18.125, 69.1202, 8.3139

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

N = 24

n = 5

r = 7

The improperly drilled gearboxes "X".

then,

⇒ $P(X) = \frac{\binom{7}{x} \binom {17}{5-x}}{\binom{24}{5}}$

(a)

P (all gearboxes fit properly) = $P(x=0)$

= $\frac{\binom{7}{0} \binom{17}{5}}{\binom{24}{5}}$

= $0.1456$

(b)

According to the question,

$X = 91+5$

Mean will be:

⇒ $\mu = E(x)$

$=E(91+5)$

$=9E(1)+5$

$=9.\frac{nr}{N}+5$

$=9.\frac{5.7}{24} +5$

$=18.125$

Variance will be:

⇒ $\sigma^2=Var(X)$

$=V(9Y+5)$

$=81.V(Y)$

$=81.n.\frac{r}{N}.\frac{N-r}{N}.\frac{N-n}{N-1}$

$=81.5.\frac{7}{24}.\frac{24-7}{24}.\frac{24-5}{24-1}$

$=69.1202$

Standard deviation will be:

⇒ $\sigma = \sqrt{69.1202}$

$=8.3139$

Solve the system of equations -8y+9x = -5; 8y+7x = -75

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

x = -5

y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-8y+9x = -5; 8y+7x = -75

Add the two equations together to eliminate y

-8y+9x = -5

8y+7x = -75

----------------------

0y + 16x = -80

Divide each side by 16

16x/16 = -80/16

x = -5

Now find y

8y+7x = -75

8y+7(-5) = -75

8y-35 = -75

Add 35 to each side

8y = -40

Divide by 8

8y/8 = -40/8

y = -5
