Answer:

1st number: 20

2nd number: 25

3rd number: 75

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 120

x = y - 5

z = 3y

plug that in!

(y-5) + y + (3y) = 120

remove the parenthesis (I used them to show you what I was replacing), and add like terms.

5y - 5 = 120

move -5 to the other side

5y = 120 + 5

5y = 125

divide both sides by 5

y = 25

now that you have one number, use the equations from before to solve for the rest!

x = (25) - 5

z = 3(25)

_____________________________________________________

x = 20

y = 25

z = 75

A statistician chooses 27 randomly selected dates, and when examining the occupancy records of a particular motel for those date
Anni [7]

Answer:

Confidence interval variance [21.297 ; 64.493]

Confidence interval standard deviation;

4.615, 8.031

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Variance, s² = 34.34

Standard deviation, s = 5.86

Sample size, n = 27

Degree of freedom, df = 27 - 1 = 26

Using the relation for the confidence interval :

[s²(n - 1) / X²α/2, n-1] ; [s²(n - 1) / X²1-α/2, n-1]

From the chi distribition table :

X²α/2, n-1 = 41.923 ; X²1-α/2, n-1 = 13.844

Hence,

[34.34*26 / 41.923] ; [34.34*26 / 13.844]

[21.297 ; 64.493]

The 95% confidence interval for the population variance is :

21.297 < σ² < 64.493

Standard deviation is the square root of variance, hence,

The 95% confidence interval for the population standard deviation is :

4.615 < σ < 8.031
