Answer:

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total score of three teams = 983

Since the teams' scores are given in reference to team B's score, let 'b' be the score of team B.

So,

The scores of Team A = (2 * b) - 5

The scores of Team B = b

The scores of Team C = (b + 80)

Thus,

The equation for determining the total points of Team B would be:

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

On solving,

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

⇒ 2b + b + b = 983 + 5 - 80

⇒ 4b = 908

⇒ b = 908 ÷ 4

⇒ b = 227

Team B's score = 227

Team A's score = (2 * 227 - 5)

= 449

Team C's score = 227 + 80

= 307

Total ⇒ 449 + 227 + 307 = 983

Hence proved.

Lauryn’s wages were not as much as she had budgeted. How can her budget be modified so there will be a positive actual net incom
shutvik [7]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Her variable expenses can be reduced.

Explanation:

In a household budget, you have fixed expenses and variable expenses.

Fixed expenses are expenses that are the same from month to month, such as a car payment, rent, power bill, etc. These cannot be reduced; if you were to pay less on your car payment, your car would be repossessed; paying less than you owe on the power bill can result in your power being disconnected; etc.

Variable expenses are expenses that are different from month to month, such as food, clothing, shopping, etc. If you are dealing with a situation where your wages are less than you anticipate, you can reduce items within your variable expenses to make sure you have enough money. For example, you can purchase fewer clothes that pay period or cut your grocery bill down.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

For this case we want to test if the mean number of filled overnight beds is over​ 523. If X represent our random variable "number of filled overnight beds", the system of hypothesis are:

Null Hypothesis: \mu \leq 523

Alternative hypothesis: \mu > 523

And for this case after conduct the test is FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. So then we can conclude that the claim that the number of filled overnight beds is over​ 523 is not statistically supported

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to test if the mean number of filled overnight beds is over​ 523. If X represent our random variable "number of filled overnight beds", the system of hypothesis are:

Null Hypothesis: \mu \leq 523

Alternative hypothesis: \mu > 523

And for this case after conduct the test is FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. So then we can conclude that the claim that the number of filled overnight beds is over​ 523 is not statistically supported
