The sum of two numbers is 72 and their difference is 40. Using elimination method

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

here's what we know:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

We can use the elimination method to solve this problem:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

---------------

2a = 98

Divide both sides by 2:

a = 49

So we now have:

49 + b = 72

and:

49 - b = 26

Subtract 49 from both sides:

b = 23

and

-b = -23 (multiply both sides by -1) → b = 23

Becca hikes 9/10 mile in 5/3 hour.

Answers

Answer:

(9/10 mile)/(5/3 hour) = 27/50 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are looking for the speed, then speed = distance/time

speed = (9/10 mile)/(5/3 hour)

speed = 9/10 ÷ 5/3 miles/hour

speed = 9/10 × 3/5 miles/hour

speed = 27/50 miles/hour

Intensive care units (ICUs) generally treat the sickest patients in a hospital. ICUs are often the most expensive department in a hospital because of the specialized equipment and extensive training required to be an ICU doctor or nurse. Therefore, it is important to use ICUs as efficiently as possible in a hospital. According to a 2017 large-scale study of elderly ICU patients, the average length of stay in the ICU is 3.4 days (Critical Care Medicine journal article). Assume that this length of stay in the ICU has an exponential distribution. Do not round intermediate calculations.

a. What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is one day or less (to 4 decimals)?

b. What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is between two and three days (to 4 decimals)?

c. What is the probability that the length of stay in the ICU is more than five days (to 4 decimals)?

Answers

Using the exponential distribution, it is found that there is a:

a) 0.2548 = 25.48% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is one day or less.

b) 0.1415 = 14.15% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is between two and three days.

c) 0.2298 = 22.98% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is more than five days.

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:  

[tex]f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = \frac{1}{m}[/tex] is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:  

[tex]P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

In this problem, the mean is of 3.4 days, hence, the decay parameter is:

[tex]\mu = \frac{1}{3.4}[/tex]

Item a:

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = 1 - e^{-\frac{1}{3.4}} = 0.2548[/tex]

0.2548 = 25.48% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is one day or less.

Item b:

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = 1 - e^{-\frac{2}{3.4}} = 0.4447[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = 1 - e^{-\frac{3}{3.4}} = 0.5862[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \leq X \leq 3) = 0.5862 - 0.4447 = 0.1415[/tex]

0.1415 = 14.15% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is between two and three days.

Item c:

[tex]P(X > 5) = e^{-\frac{5}{3.4}} = 0.2298[/tex]

0.2298 = 22.98% probability that the length of stay in the ICU is more than five days.

Use technology to find the P-value for the hypothesis test described below.
The claim is that for a smartphone carrier's data speeds at airports, the mean is p = 19.00 Mbps. The sample size is n = 21 and the test statistic is t= 1.401
P-value = (Round to three decimal places as needed)

Answers

Using the t-distribution, it is found that the p-value is of 0.177.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested that for a smartphone carrier's data speeds at airports, the mean is 19 Mbps, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 19[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is different than 19 Mbps, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu \neq 19[/tex]

We are testing if the mean is different from a value, hence it is a two-tailed test.The test statistic is t = 1.401.Sample size of n = 21, hence there are 21 - 1 = 20 df.

Inputting this information into a calculator, the p-value is of 0.177.

What is the Line of Best Fit?

The line of best fit for a scatter plot is modelled as y = mx = 2, where m is the slope and b is the initial value.

Given the equation of the line of best fit as, y = x + 2, to find the predicted arm span, y, for a girl who is 61 in. tall (x), substitute x = 61 into y = x = 2.

y = 61 + 2

Hello! My name is Galaxy and I will be helping you today. I hope you are having a nice day!

We can solve this equation in one step, which is Algebra, I'll start solving the problem now.

Algebra

We can start by simplifying the problem, [tex]20>u+8[/tex], we can subtract by 8 on each side to simplify the equation. I'll explain why afterwards.

[tex]20>u+8\\12>u[/tex]

As you can see we've subtracted by 8 on both sides, the reason this works is because when we do something to one side, we must do it to the other, which keeps the equation balanced.

We can prove this works by picking a random number for [tex]u[/tex] from our simplified version. For this case, lets pick 11.

We can see that if we plug it in to the first unsimplified equation, it works perfectly fine:

[tex]20>11+8?\\20>19[/tex]

We've proven that its correct.

So our final answer is [tex]u<12[/tex].

Using the concept of place value, the digit 4 is 200 times greater than the digit 2.

Given the number :

4325

The digit 2 is in the tens place = 2 × 10 = 20

The digit 4 is in the thousand place = 4 × 1000 = 4000

The number of times greater can be obtained thus :

4000 / 20 = 200

Hence, the digit 4 is 200 times greater than the digit 2.
