Answer:

<em>7, 22</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S = the smaller number.

"The larger number is 1 more than 3 times the smaller number."

The larger number is 3S + 1.

The difference between the numbers is 15, so the larger number minus the smaller number equals 15.

3S + 1 - S = 15

2S + 1 = 15

2S = 14

S = 7

The smaller number is 7.

larger number = 3S + 1 = 3(7) + 1 = 21 + 1 = 22

The larger number is 22.

Answer:

0.554

Step-by-step explanation:

Total people: 1156

Nonsmoker men + occasional smoker men + regular smoker men + heavy smoker men + heavy smoker women = men + heavy smoker women = 601 + 39 = 640

Probability that the person is a  man or a heavy smoker = 640/1156 = 0.554

(Notice that if you directly add heavy smoker and total men you will count twice heavy smoker men)
