Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"The difference of two numbers is 15."

x-y = 15

x>y

"Five times the smaller number is the same as 9 less than twice the larger number."

5y = 2x-9

y = x-15

substitution

5(x-15) = 2x-9

5x-75 = 2x-9

3x = 66

x = 22

y = x-15 = 7

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of drivers who travel between a particular origin and destination during a designated time period has a Poisson distribution with parameter μ = 20 (suggested in the article "Dynamic Ride Sharing: Theory and Practice"†).

a) P(X\leq 15) = 0.1565=0.157

b) P(X>26) =1-F(26)\\= 1-0.9221\\=0.0779=0.078

c) P(15\leq x\leq 26)\\=F(26)-F(14)\\=0.9221-0.1049\\=0.8172=0.817

d) 2 std dev = 2(20) =40

Hence 2 std deviation means

20-40, 20+40

i.e. (0,60)

P(0

You can find the value of y when you substitute the x value into the equation.

Since x = 3, the equation becomes:
y = 3 + 5

The answer to question 13 is y = 8

24 is 16% of what number
Eva8 [605]
Is/of = %/100 plug the numbers in 24/x = 16/100 then cross multiply then you get 2400 = 16x so you get x by itself so you would have to divide by 16. 2400/16 = 16x/16 the 16 on the x side cancel out so you get x = 150 (I used proportions)
