A store is having a sale on trail mix and jelly beans. For 5 pounds of trail mix and 3 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $17. For 2 pounds of trail mix and 12 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $23. Find the cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly beans.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Trail Mix costs $2.50 per pound, and Jelly Beans cost $1.50 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using x for trail mix and y for jelly beans, we have a system of equations being

[tex]\left \{ {{5x+3y=17} \atop {2x+12y=23}} \right.[/tex]

We can solve this system using substitution

5x+3y=17

Divide by 5 to have a coefficient of 1 before x

[tex]x+\frac{3}{5} y=\frac{17}{5}[/tex]

Subtract [tex]\frac{3}{5} y[/tex] from each side to single out one variable to one side

[tex]x=\frac{17}{5} -\frac{3}{5} y[/tex]

Now, we can plug in our value for x into the given equation

[tex]2(\frac{17}{5} -\frac{3}{5} y)+12y=23[/tex]

Open the parentheses

[tex]\frac{34}{5} -1\frac{1}{5} y+12y=23[/tex]

Merge Y values

[tex]6.8+10.8y=23[/tex]

Separate numerical values from variables

[tex]10.8y=16.2[/tex]

Divide by 10.8 in order to have a coefficient of 1

[tex]y=1.5[/tex]

Now that we have one of the values, we know that a pound of jelly beans costs $1.50. We can now plug in 1.5 for y into one of our equations to find x.

[tex]5x+3(1.5)=17[/tex]

Open parentheses

[tex]5x+4.5=17[/tex]

Single out the variable

[tex]5x=12.5[/tex]

Divide by 5 to have a coefficient of 1 before x

[tex]x=2.5[/tex]

[tex]y=1.5[/tex]

D) (3,4)

Answers

Answer:

(0.2, -1.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving a system of equations by graphing, we first plot the two equations on a graph, then the point of intersection of the two graphs is the solution to the system of equations.

Therefore giving the equations y = - x - 1; and y = 14x - 4, we have to first plot the both linear equations using online geogebra graphing tool. The intersection of both linear graphs is the solution to the problem.

We can see that the point of intersection is A(0.2, -1.2)

The average of two numbers is 5x. If one of the numbers is 2x + 3, find the other number.

Answers

Answer:

8x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Average of 2 numbers means add the two numbers and divide by 2

(y+z)/2 = 5x

Let z = 2x+3

(y+2x+3)/2 = 5x

Multiply each side by 2

y+2x+3 = 10x

Subtract 2x from each side

y+3 = 10x-2x

y+3 = 8x

Subtract 3

y = 8x-3

The other number is 8x-3

Henry bought 2 kilograms of chicken for a family dinner. After dinner, only 61.5 grams were left. How much chicken was eaten, in kilograms?

Answers

Answer:

1.9385 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total kilogram of chicken = 2 kilograms

Amount left after dinner = 61.5 gram

Recall :

1000 grams = 1 kilogram

Hence,

61.5 grams = x kg

x = (61. 5 / 1000) = 0.0615 kg

Hence,

Amount eaten = Total chicken - amount left

Amount eaten = (2 - 0.0615) kg

Amount eaten = 1.9385 kg

What is the shortest distance Jill can travel is she leaves her house, goes to City Hall, to the Post Office, and then returns home?

A. 9 miles
B. 16 miles
C. 38 miles
D. 48 miles

Answers

Answer:

the answer is B 16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

so because every 3 cm is 1 mile if to make it to City Hall you would do 7 x 3 which would be 21 cm so you have 7 miles already so to make it to the post office from city hall it would be another 7 miles then 3 more cm and that would be 1 mile so 7 + 7 + 1 = 15 so then the closest number to 15 is 16 I know its right because I did the test and got it right.

Step-by-step explanation:

An investigator compares the durability of two different compounds used in the manufacture of a certain automobile brake lining. A sample of 127 brakes using Compound 1 yields an average brake life of 42,814 miles. A sample of 163 brakes using Compound 2 yields an average brake life of 37,197 miles. Assume that the population standard deviation for Compound 1 is 1819 miles, while the population standard deviation for Compound 2 is 1401 miles. Determine the 98% confidence interval for the true difference between average lifetimes for brakes using Compound 1 and brakes using Compound 2.
Step 1 of 3 is Point estimate so 42,814 - 37,197 = 5,617
Step 2 of 3 :
Calculate the margin of error of a confidence interval for the difference between the two population means. Round your answer to six decimal places.
Step 3 of 3:
Construct the 98% confidence interval. Round your answers to the nearest whole number. (lower and upper endpoint)

Answers

Answer:

The point estimate is 5,617.

The margin of error of a confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is 454.18386 .

The 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is (5163, 6071).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.  

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Compound 1:

127 brakes, average brake life of 42,814 miles, population standard deviation of 1819 miles. This means that:

[tex]\mu_1 = 42814[/tex]

[tex]s_1 = \frac{1819}{\sqrt{127}} = 161.41[/tex]

Compound 2:

163 brakes, average brake life of 37,197 miles, population standard deviation of 1401 miles. This means that:

[tex]\mu_2 = 37197[/tex]

[tex]s_2 = \frac{1401}{\sqrt{163}} = 109.73[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]\mu = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 42814 - 37197 = 5617[/tex]

The point estimate is 5,617.

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{161.41^2 + 109.73^2} = 195.18[/tex]

Confidence interval

The confidence interval is:

[tex]\mu \pm zs[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = zs[/tex]

98% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.327[/tex].  

Margin of error:

[tex]M = zs = 195.18*2.327 = 454.18386 [/tex]

The margin of error of a confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is 454.18386 .

For the confidence interval, as we round to the nearest whole number, we round it 454. So

The lower bound of the interval is:

[tex]\mu - zs = \mu - M = 5617 - 454 = 5163[/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]\mu + zs = \mu + M = 5617 + 454 = 6071[/tex]

The 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is (5163, 6071).

if for men working for hours for 4 days complete for unit of work then how many unit of work will be completed by two men working for two hours per day?​

Answers

The 2 men working for 2 hours per 2 days will complete 1/2 unit of work. This is calculated by using the proportions formula.

What is the formula for calculating equal proportions?

The formula for the given proportions is,

a: b = c: d

⇒ a/b = c/d

⇒ ad = bc

In this way, the required variable is calculated.

Calculation:

For the given question, the proportion we can write

M1 × H1 × D1: M2 × H2 × D2 = W1: W2

⇒ M1 × H1 × D1 × W2 = M2 × H2 × D2 × W1

Where M1 = 4; H1 = 4; D1 = 4; M2 = 2; H2 = 2; D2 = 2 and W1 = 4

We need to calculate W2 -  required units of work

So, on substituting,

M1 × H1 × D1 × W2 = M2 × H2 × D2 × W1

⇒ 4 × 4 × 4 × W2 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 4

⇒ 64 × W2 = 32

⇒ W2 = 32/64

∴ W2 = 1/2

Thus, the required units of work are 1/2.

So, 2 men working for 2 hours for 2 days will complete 1/2 unit of work.

Which best describes the process of selecting a cluster sample?

Clusters that each represent the population are sampled from such that no two members of the same cluster are included in the sample.
Members of a population are organized in clusters, each of which is representative of the population, and then whole clusters are randomly selected to make up the sample.
Members of a population are ordered by some characteristic, and then a cluster sample is formed by selecting every kth member.
Members of a population are separated into clusters based on a characteristic important to the study and a random sample is selected from each cluster.

Answers

Answer:

"Members of a population are organized in clusters, each of which is representative of the population, and then whole clusters are randomly selected to make up the sample"

Step-by-step explanation:

In cluster random sampling, "the population is divided, usually geographically, into groups that generally have the same size.  A certain number of groups are randomly chosen, and every individual in the chosen groups are chosen for the sample."

In accord with this logic, the second choice, "Members of a population are organized in clusters, each of which is representative of the population, and then whole clusters are randomly selected to make up the sample" seems to be correct.

Given that the triangle ABC is at A= (2,4) B= (5,9) C =(1,7) and if the triangle is reflected across the line y=1, what is the new position of point B?

Answers

We need not consider a whole triangle but just point B.

Before reflection we know that [tex]B(5,9)[/tex].

Reflecting B over [tex]y=1[/tex] is relatively easy. First because its a reflection over the horizontal line the only coordinates that will change are y coordinates, while x coordinate will not change so half of the reflection is already done for us,

[tex]B(5,a)[/tex]

Now to what has changed, well currently the distance between 9 and 1 on the y axis is 8 up. But because we are reflecting the a must now be 8 down from 1 which means [tex]1 - 8 = -7[/tex] so our point is now [tex]\boxed{B(5,-7)}[/tex].

These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech.

There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon.
