Which system of equations may be used to find the price, in dollars, of each type of replica?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]5G + 4S + 2B = 26[/tex]

[tex]2G + 2S + 2B = 13[/tex]

[tex]3G + 4S + 6B = 26[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Gold with G, Silver with S and Bronze with B

Required

Determine the system of equations

The packages are represented as:

The first: 5G + 4S + 2B

The second: 4G + 4S + 4B

The third: 3G + 4S + 6B

Each of the package costs $26.

So, we have:

[tex]5G + 4S + 2B = 26[/tex] -- (1)

[tex]4G + 4S + 4B = 26[/tex] -- (2)

[tex]3G + 4S + 6B = 26[/tex] -- (3)

Divide both sides of (2) by 2

[tex]4G + 4S + 4B = 26[/tex]

[tex]2G + 2S + 2B = 13[/tex]

So, the system of equations are:

[tex]5G + 4S + 2B = 26[/tex]

[tex]2G + 2S + 2B = 13[/tex]

[tex]3G + 4S + 6B = 26[/tex]

Answers

(C) 3,920 people would likely donate.

What is the percentage?

A percentage (from Latin per centum "by a hundred") is a number or ratio stated as a fraction of 100 in mathematics. It is frequently symbolized with the percent sign, " percent ". A % is a dimensionless (pure) number; it does not have a unit of measurement.

To find about how many people would likely donate:

First, find 80 is what percent of 200.

∴  [tex]\frac{80}{200} * 100 = 40%[/tex]

So, 80 is 40% of 200.

Centreville population is 9,800.

Now, take out 40% of 9,800.

[tex]\frac{x}{9,800} *100 = 40\\\frac{x}{98} =40\\98*40 = 3,920[/tex]

Therefore, (C) 3,920 people would likely donate.

Applying the linear pair theorem and the sum of interior angles of hexagon, we have:

Angle 7 = 92°

Angle 1 = 107°

What is the Linear Pair Theorem?

According to the linear pair theorem/postulate, when two angles lie on a straight line, the sum of their measures equals 180 degrees.

Angle 7 lie on a straight line with 88°, therefore, applying the linear pair theorem, we have:

Angle 7 + 88 = 180

Subtract both sides by 88

Angle 7 + 88 - 88 = 180 - 88

Angle 7 = 92°

Also, using the linear pair theorem, we have:

Angle 5 = 180 - 64

Angle 5 = 116°

Angle 3 = 180 - 57

Angle 3 = 123°

Sum of interior angles of hexagon equals 720°, therefore:

Angle 1 + angle 3 + angle 5 + angle 7 + 118 + 164 = 720°

Plug in the known values

Angle 1 + 123 + 116 + 92 + 118 + 164 = 720

Angle 1 + 613 = 720

Subtract both sides by 613

Angle 1 + 613 - 613 = 720 - 613

Angle 1 = 107°

A sample of 66 observations will be taken from an infinite population. the population proportion equals 0.12. The probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1768 is:_________.

Answers

Using the normal distribution, the probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1768 is of 0.9222 = 92.22%.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.By the Central Limit Theorem, for a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}[/tex], as long as [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1 - p) \geq 10[/tex].

For this problem, the proportion and the sample size are given by:

p = 0.12, n = 66.

Hence the mean and the standard error are:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.12[/tex].[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.12(0.88)}{66}} = 0.04[/tex]

The probability that the sample proportion will be less than 0.1768 is the p-value of Z when X = 0.1768, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.1768 - 0.12}{0.04}[/tex]

Z = 1.42

Z = 1.42 has a p-value of 0.9222.

x-2(x+1)+3(x-2)+2(x-6)=0

Answers

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying the expression:

                       x - 2(x +1) + 3(x -2) + 2(x - 6) = 0

x + (-2)*x  + (-2)*1 + 3*x +3*(-2) + 2*x + 2*(-6) = 0

                            x - 2x -2 + 3x - 6 + 2x - 12 = 0

                          x - 2x + 3x + 2x - 2 - 6 - 12 = 0

Combine like terms. Like terms have same variable with same power.

                                                          4x - 20 = 0

Add 20 to both sides.

                                                                 4x  = 20

Divide both sides by 4

                                                                   x = 20/4

                                                                   x = 5

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x  -2(x+1) + 3(x-2) + 2(x-6) =  0

here, we need to distribute the numbers on the outside of the parentheses to the inside numbers.

As you may know, when two numbers are in parentheses, they are to be multiplied--and it is the same idea here.

When we have a number, say 3, multiplied by parentheses, say (x - 2), we multiply all inside numbers by the outside number, which is called distributing.

We know that 3(x) = 3x, and that 3(-2) = -6, so we distribute

3(x  - 2)       to be        3x - 6

let's do that for all of our parentheses:
x  -2(x+1) + 3(x-2) + 2(x-6) =  0

-2( x  + 1 )

-2x   -  2

3(x  - 2)

3x   -  6

2( x  - 6)

2x  - 12

Now, let's rewrite our problem:

x  -2(x+1) + 3(x-2) + 2(x-6) =  0

x     - 2x  - 2    + 3x -6     + 2x - 12    = 0

First, we should combine like terms:

x - 2x  + 3x + 2x          - 2 - 6 - 12    = 0

(x - 2x = -x;  -x + 3x = 2x;  2x + 2x = 4x)

( - 2 - 6 = -8; -8 - 12 = -20

So, we are left with:

4x  -  20 = 0

At this point, we want to get x alone (so that we can find what "x" is)

4x - 20 = 0  

    + 20    + 20       ( add 20 to both sides of the equation to isolate x )  

   4x     =    20

  ÷ 4          ÷ 4           (divide both sides by 4 to find "1"x)

     x  =  5

So, we know that the value of x is 5, or x = 5

Answers

Since we are dealing with a proportion, it is determined by using the z-distribution that there is insufficient evidence to draw the conclusion that the proportion of all kochia plants that are resistant to glyphosate has increased because the test statistic is less than the critical value for the right-tailed test.

In this problem, we consider that:

[tex]p_{1}[/tex] is the proportion in 2014.[tex]p_{2}[/tex] is the proportion is 2017.

What are the hypothesis tested?At the null hypothesis, we test if there has been no increase, that is, the subtraction is of 0.

Hence, the distribution has mean and standard error given by:

[tex]\bar{p}=p_{2}-p_{1}=0.0675-0.0509=0.0166\\s=\sqrt{s_{1}^{2}+s_{2}^{2}}=\sqrt{0.0509^{2}+0.0675^{2}}=0.0845[/tex]

What is the test statistic?

It is given by:

[tex]$z=\frac{\bar{p}-p}{s}$[/tex]

In which p = 0 is the value tested at the null hypothesis, hence:

[tex]z=\frac{0.0166}{0.0845}\\$z=0.2$[/tex]

What is the decision?Considering a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the proportion is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05, the critical value is of [tex]$z^{*}=1.645$[/tex]There is insufficient information to establish that the fraction of all kochia plants that are resistant to glyphosate has increased because the test statistic is smaller than the crucial value for the right-tailed test.

We have to find the probability that it will take less than 34 minutes to complete the test.

The probability lies between 0 and 1. The formula to calculate probability is number of items divided by total items but it can also be found through z test calculations.

We are using z test to find the probability.

Z=X-μ/σ

Where μ is sample mean and

σ= standard deviation

Z is z value

First we will find the p value from 34 to 44.

Z=34-44/8

=-10/8

=-1.25

P value for X<34=P(Z<-1.25)

=0.5-0.3944

=0.1056.

Hence the probability that it will take less than 34 minutes is 0.1056.

On a number line, a number, b, is located the same distance from 0 as another number, a, but in the opposite
direction. The number b varies directly with the number a. For example b = 22 when a = -22. Which
equation represents this direct variation between a and b?
b=-a
-b=-a
b-a=0
b(-a) = 0

Answers

Answer:

b = -a

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a and b are equally distant to zero but in opposite directions, a and b are opposites, or additive inverses.

The sum of additive inverses is zero.

a + b = 0

b = -a
