the sum of two numbers is 31. 2/3 of one of the numbers added is equal to 5/8 of the other.find the two numbers

1 answer:

6 0

One number is 15 and the other is 16. You get this answer by first finding a factor of 3(15) that when it's subtracted from 31 gives you a factor of 8(16). Then you divide in this case 15 by 3 and get 5 and 16 by 8 and get 2. The reason you divided the numbers is because now you have 5 which is 1/3 of 15 and 2 which is 1/8 of 16. Now that you have your numbers that equal your fractions multiply 5 which is your 1/3 by the 2 from your 2/3 to get 10 which is 2/3 of 15 and 2 which is 1/8 by the 5 from you 5/8 to get 10 which is 5/8 of 16

Answer:

131

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the graph of the hyperbola whose equation is given as:.We know that the general equation of the hyperbola is given by:where the focus of the hyperbola are at the points:(a,0) and (-a,0).Hence, the focus of the given hyperbola are the points:(3,0) and (-3,0).The figure of the hyperbola is attached to the figure.

The solid graph is a translation of RootIndex 3 StartRoot x EndRoot. On a coordinate plane, 2 cube root functions are shown. The

serious [3.7K]

Answer: 2 units up.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take a look at the graph, it shows that it is 2 units up from where it initially started, therefore it is moved 2 units up. It says the SOLID graph is the translation, therefore it would be moving 2 units up.

Two different samples will be taken from the same population of test scores where the population mean and standard deviation are

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The sample consisting of 64 data values would give a greater precision.

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of a (1 - α)% confidence interval for population mean μ is:

$\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

So, from the formula of the width of the interval it is clear that the width is inversely proportion to the sample size (n).

That is, as the sample size increases the interval width would decrease and as the sample size decreases the interval width would increase.

Here it is provided that two different samples will be taken from the same population of test scores and a 95% confidence interval will be constructed for each sample to estimate the population mean.

The two sample sizes are:

n₁ = 25

n₂ = 64

The 95% confidence interval constructed using the sample of 64 values will have a smaller width than the the one constructed using the sample of 25 values.

Width for n = 25:

$\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{25}}=\frac{1}{5}\cdot [2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma]$

Width for n = 64:

$\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{64}}=\frac{1}{8}\cdot [2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma]$

Thus, the sample consisting of 64 data values would give a greater precision

Answer:

The third one is unbiased because its not specific and it's not involving a group of people or a comparison of things. It's also not specific. It's asking about lowering the expensive sales tax in the city and not to certain people, etc..

Hope it's right:)
