Answer:

a = 2.5, b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

4a = 5b + 5 → (1)

2a = 3b + 2 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding the result to (1) will eliminate a

- 4a = - 6b - 4 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate a

0 = - b + 1 ( add b to both sides )

b = 1

Substitute b = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for a

Substituting into (2)

2a = 3(1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 2.5

Answer:

a = 2.5

b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4a = 5b + 5 and 2a = 3b + 2

→ Multiply the second equation by 2

4a = 6b + 4

→ Subtract this new equation from the first one

0 = b - 1

→ Find b by adding 1 on both sides

b = 1

→ Substitute b into one of the equation

4a = ( 5 × 1 ) + 5

→ Simplify

4a = 10

→ Divide both sides by 4

a = 2.5

5. The superintendent of the local school district claims that the children in her district are brighter, on average, than the g

anygoal [31]

Answer:

We conclude that children in district are brighter, on average, than the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

105, 109, 115, 112, 124, 115, 103, 110, 125, 99

Formula:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1117}{10} = 111.7$

Sum of squares of differences = 642.1

$S.D = \sqrt{\frac{642.1}{49}} = 8.44$

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 106

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 111.7

Sample size, n = 10

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.44

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 106\\H_A: \mu > 106$

We use one-tailed(right) t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{111.7 - 106}{\frac{8.44}{\sqrt{10}} } = 2.135$

Now,

$t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 9 degree of freedom } = 1.833$

Since,

$t_{stat} > t_{critical}$

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

We conclude that children in district are brighter, on average, than the general population.
