Answer:
x = 12 ( two points shots )
y = 7 ( three points shots )
Step-by-step explanation:
Let´s call "x" two points shots, and "y" three points shots, then
x + y = 19
2*x + 3*y = 45
We have to solve a two-equation system for x and y
y = 19 - x
2*x + 3 * ( 19 - x ) = 45
2*x + 57 - 3*x = 45
- x = 45 - 57
-x = - 12
x = 12
And y = 19 - 12
y = 7

Answer:a
a
[tex]336.04 < \mu < 443.96[/tex]
b
The margin of error will increase
c
The margin of error will decreases
d
The 99% confidence interval is [tex]0.4107 < p < 0.4293[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size [tex]n = 19[/tex]
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$\ 390[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \$ \ 120[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 95[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 5 \%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table
So
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]
The margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{120}{\sqrt{19} }[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 53.96[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval is
[tex]\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E[/tex]
=> [tex]390 - 53.96 < \mu < 390 - 53.96[/tex]
=> [tex]336.04 < \mu < 443.96[/tex]
When the confidence level increases the [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }[/tex] also increases which increases the margin of error hence the confidence level becomes wider
Generally the sample size mathematically varies with margin of error as follows
[tex]n \ \ \alpha \ \ \frac{1}{E^2 }[/tex]
So if the sample size increases the margin of error decrease
The sample proportion is mathematically represented as
[tex]\r p = \frac{210}{500}[/tex]
[tex]\r p = 0.42[/tex]
Given that the confidence level is 0.99 the level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
The critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table is
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }* \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1- \r p )}{n} }[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 0.42 * \sqrt{ \frac{0.42 (1- 0.42 )}{ 500} }[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 0.0093[/tex]
The 99% confidence interval is
[tex]\r p - E < p < \r p + E[/tex]
[tex]0.42 - 0.0093 < p < 0.42 + 0.0093[/tex]
[tex]0.4107 < p < 0.4293[/tex]
A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and number of situps a person can do (y). The results of the regression were:
1. y=a+bx
2. b=-0.669
3. a=27.41
4. r2=0.760384
5. r=-0.872
Use this to predict the number of situps a person who watches 3.5 hours of TV can do. Round to one decimal place.
Answer: The correct answer is 19 sit ups.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that the regression equation to find a a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and number of situps a person can do (y) was done.
The result was
y = ax+b
Correlation coefficient = 0.865
To predict the number of situps a person who watches 3 hours of TV
y = -1.23(3)+22.738
= 19.048
Approximately 19 situps.
Given the following hypotheses: H0: μ = 490 H1: μ ≠ 490 A random sample of 15 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean was 495 and the sample standard deviation 9. Using the 0.01 significance level:
a.) State the decision rule.
b.) Compute the value of the test statistic.
c.) What is your decision regarding the null hypothesis?
Answer:
We conclude that the population mean is equal to 490.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a random sample of 15 observations is selected from a normal population. The sample mean was 495 and the sample standard deviation 9.
Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean.
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 490 {means that the population mean is equal to 490}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 490 {means that the population mean is different from 490}
The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_1_4[/tex]
where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean = 495
s = sample standard deviation = 9
n = sample of observations = 15
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{495-490}{\frac{9}{\sqrt{15} } }[/tex] ~ [tex]t_1_4[/tex]
= 2.152
The value of t-test statistics is 2.152.
Now, at a 0.01 level of significance, the t table gives a critical value of -2.977 and 2.977 at 14 degrees of freedom for the two-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics lies within the range of critical values of t, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will not fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that the population mean is equal to 490.

What is the intersection of the lines given by 2y=-x+3 and -y=5x+1? Enter the answer as an ordered pair.
Answer:
(-5/9, 16/9)
Step-by-step explanation:
2y = -x + 3
-y = 5x + 1
To find the intersection, you need to substitute the y-value from the second equation into the first equation. Rearrange the second equation so that it is equal to y.
-y = 5x + 1
-1(-y) = -1(5x + 1)
y = -5x - 1
Substitute this equation into the y-value of the first equation.
2y = -x + 3
2(-5x - 1) = -x + 3
-10x - 2 = -x + 3
(-10x - 2) + 2 = (-x + 3) + 2
-10x = -x + 5
(-10x) + x = (-x + 5) + x
-9x = 5
(-9x)/(-9) = (5)/(-9)
x = -5/9
Plug this x value into one of the equations and solve for y.
2y = -x + 3
2y = -(-5/9) + 3
2y = 5/9 + 3
2y = 32/9
(2y)/2 = (32/9)/2
y = 32/18 = 16/9
The ordered pair is (-5/9, 16/9).

Fifteen chaperones went on a field trip with 225 students. Which fraction represents the number of chaperones to students on the field trip
Answer:
15/225
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of chaperones for the group of students can be represented with a ratio - 15:225 or 15/225.
Because there are 15 chaperones for the 225 students, you can state what the ratio does - for every 225 students, there are 15 chaperones.
However, 15/225 can be reduced to 1/15, so for every 15 students, there is 1 chaperone.

Answer:
[tex]\Large \boxed{\sf 17 \ and \ 18}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The product means multiplication.
There are two positive consecutive integers.
Let the first positive consecutive integer be x.
Let the second positive consecutive integer be x+1.
[tex](x) \times (x+1) =306[/tex]
Solve for x.
Expand brackets.
[tex]x^2 +x =306[/tex]
Subtract 306 from both sides.
[tex]x^2 +x -306=306-306[/tex]
[tex]x^2 +x -306=0[/tex]
Factor left side of the equation.
[tex](x-17)(x+18)=0[/tex]
Set factors equal to 0.
[tex]x-17=0[/tex]
[tex]x=17[/tex]
[tex]x+18=0[/tex]
[tex]x=-18[/tex]
The value of x cannot be negative.
Substitute x=17 for the second consecutive positive integer.
[tex](17)+1[/tex]
[tex]18[/tex]
The two integers are 17 and 18.
The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306.
We need to find the integers
solution : Let two consecutive numbers are x and (x + 1)
A/C to question,
product of x and (x + 1) = 306
⇒x(x + 1) = 306
⇒x² + x - 306 = 0
⇒ x² + 18x - 17x - 306 = 0
⇒x(x + 18) - 17(x + 18) = 0
⇒(x + 18)(x - 17) = 0⇒ x = 17 and -18
so x = 17 and (x +1) = 18
Therefore the numbers are 17 and 18.

The average score of all golfers for a particular course has a mean of 70and a standard deviation of 5.Suppose 100golfers played the course today. Find the probability that the average score of the 100golfers exceeded 71.Round to four decimal places.
Answer:
0.9773
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we start by calculating the z-scores statistic
Mathematically;
z-score = (x-mean)/SD/√n
From the question, we have;
x = 71, mean = 70, SD = 5 and n = 100
Plugging these values in the equation above, we have;
z-score = (71-70)/5/√100 = 1/5/10 = 1/0.5 = 2
So the probability we want to calculate is that;
P(z > 2)
This is obtainable from the standard normal distribution table
P(z > 2) = 0.97725 which is 0.9773 to 4 decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:
40/20=2
80/40=2
Therefore the common ration is 2
The correct sequence which has a common ratio of 2 is,
⇒ {20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, …}
What is Geometric sequence?An sequence has the ratio of every two successive terms is a constant, is called a Geometric sequence.
Given that;
The common ratio of sequence is,
⇒ 2
Now, By option 1;
The sequence is,
⇒ {20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, …}
Hence, Common ratio = 40 / 20
= 2
And, 80 / 40 = 2
Thus, The correct sequence which has a common ratio of 2 is,
⇒ {20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, …}

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence? A.-2, 4, -6, 8, ... B.2, 4, 8, 16, ... C.-8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Answer:
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.
A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.
B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.
Hope this helps!
