Let the smaller number = X

Then the larger number is 3x+4 ( four more than 3 times the smaller number)

The sum of both numbers = 80

so you have X + 3X+4 = 80

Simplify the left side:

4x+4 = 80

Subtract 4 from each side:

4x = 76

Divide both sides by 4:

X = 76/4

X = 19

The smallest number is 19

The largest number is 80 - 19 = 61 ( check: 3*19 = 57+4 = 61)

The two numbers are 19 and 61

PLEASE HELP!! laboratory tests show that the lives of light bulbs are normally distributed with a mean of 750 hours and a standa

Lunna [17]

Answer:

P = 0.0215 = 2.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to convert the values of 900 and 975 to standard scores using the equation:

$z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

Where z is the standard value, x is the original value, $\mu$ is the mean and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation. So we have that:

standard value of 900: $z = \frac{900 - 750}{75} = 2$

standard value of 975: $z = \frac{975 - 750}{75} = 3$

Now, we just need to look at the standard distribution table (z-table) for the values of z = 2 and z = 3:

z = 2 -> p_2 = 0.9772

z = 3 -> p_3 = 0.9987

We want the interval between 900 and 975 hours, so we need the interval between z = 2 and z = 3, so we just need to subtract their p-values:

P = p_3 - p_2 = 0.9987 - 0.9772 = 0.0215

So the probability is 0.0215 = 2.15%

The number of home runs scored by a certain team in one baseball game is a random variable with the distribution x 0 1 2 P(x) 0.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: E(Y) = 1.6 and Var(Y)=1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

X 0 1 2

P(X) 0.4 0.4 0.2

Here, number of games = 2

So, $Y=X_1+X_2$

Since $X_1\ and\ X_2$ are independent variables.

so, $E[Y]=2E[X]\\\\Var[Y]=2Var[X]$

So, we get that

$E(X)=0.4\times 0+0.4\times 1+0.2\times 2=0.8\\\\and Var[x]=E[x^2]-(E[x])^2\\\\E[x^2]=0\times 0.4+1\times 0.4+4\times 0.2=1.2\\\\So, Var[x]=1.2-(0.8)^2\\\\Var[x]=1.2-0.64=0.56$

So, E[y]=2×0.8=1.6

and Var[y]=2×0.56=1.12

Hence, E(Y) = 1.6 and Var(Y)=1.12

Spinner i is divided into four equal sections labeled 2, 3, 4 and 5. spinner ii is divided into five equal sections labeled 1, 3

Illusion [34]

The probability is 7/20.

There are 20 outcomes in the sample space:
2(1) 2(3) 2(5) 2(7) 2(9)
3(1) 3(3) 3(5) 3(7) 3(9)
4(1) 4(3) 4(5) 4(7) 4(9)
5(1) 5(3) 5(5) 5(7) 5(9)

Out of these, 14 are two digit products. Out of those 14, only 7 are odd. Thus the probability is 7/20.
