Noah works at a concession stand selling bags of popcorn and cans of soda. A bag of popcorn costs $2.50 and a can of soda costs $1.50. One night, he notices that he sold a total of 300 items and collected a total of $522. Determine the system of equations that could be used to solve this problem, where x represents the number of bags of popcorn sold and y represents the number of cans of soda sold

Answers

Answer 1

Set up 2 equations:

Total items sold: x + y = 300

This gets rewritten as x = 300-y

The second equation is for total amount made:

2.50x + 1.50y = 522

Replace x in the 2nd equation with the value of x from the first one:

2.50(300-y) + 1.50y = 522

Simplify:

750 - 2.50y + 1.50y = 522

Combine like terms:

750 - y = 522

Subtract 750 from both sides:

-y = -228

Divide both sides by -1 ( to make y positive)

y = 228

Now replace y in the first equation to solve for x:

x+ 228 = 300

Subtract 228 from both sides:

x = 72

He sold 72 bags of popcorn and 228 sodas.

Answer:

x = 11,

m∡LMN = 124°

Step-by-step explanation:

since NO bisects ∡LMN, then ∡LMO = ∡NMO

so we can do the following to solve for 'x':

8x - 26 = 2x + 40

6x = 66

x = 11

now, plug 11 in for 'x' into either expression and double it, since ∡LMN is made up of two equal angles

8(11) - 26 = 88 - 26 = 62

62 x 2 = 124

A human resources manager keeps a record of how many years each employee at a large company has been working in their current role. The distribution of these years of experience are strongly skewed to the right with a mean of 333years and a standard deviation of 222 years. Suppose we were to take a random sample of 444employees and calculate the sample mean for their years of experience. We can assume independence between members in the sample.
What is the probability that the mean years of experience from the sample of 444 employees xˉxˉx, with, \bar, on top is greater than 3.53.53, point, 5 years?

Answers

Answer:

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that the mean years of experience from the sample of 4 is greater than 3.5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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 proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Distribution of years of experience:

Mean 3, so [tex]\mu = 3[/tex]

Standard deviation 2, so [tex]\sigma = 2[/tex]

Sample of 4:

[tex]n = 4, s = \frac{2}{\sqrt{4}} = 1[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean years of experience from the sample of 4 is greater than 3.5?

1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.5. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{3.5 - 3}{1}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.5[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.6915

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that the mean years of experience from the sample of 4 is greater than 3.5 years.

Answer:

We cannot calculate this probability because the sampling distribution n ot normal

Find the slope of tangent line at (1,-1.5)

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the tangent m = -0.0833

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the curve

      x y - 2y² + x² = -5 ...(i)

Differentiating equation (i) with respective to 'x', we get

  [tex]x(\frac{dy}{dx} )+y (1) -2(2y)\frac{dy}{dx} + 2x=0[/tex]

    [tex]x(\frac{dy}{dx} ) -2(2y)\frac{dy}{dx} = -2x-y[/tex]

    [tex](x -4y)\frac{dy}{dx} = -2x-y[/tex]

       [tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-2x-y}{x-4y}[/tex]

Step(ii):-

The slope of the tangent

[tex](\frac{dy}{dx})_{1,-1.5} = \frac{-2x-y}{x-4y}[/tex]

[tex](\frac{dy}{dx})_{1,-1.5} = \frac{-2(1)-(-1.5)}{1-4(-1.5)}[/tex]

       m =   [tex]\frac{-2+1.5}{1+6}[/tex]

       [tex]m = \frac{-0.5}{6} = -0.083[/tex]

The slope of the tangent m = -0.0833

If both denominators are the same the number it makes it easier to add.

Since 8*2 is 16 you have to do 3*2 in order for 3/8 and 6/16 to be equivalent.

then add the top numbers, not the bottom bc the bottom stays the same.

equation for the area of a circle with a diameter of 31.6 cm. Use 3.14 for
[tex]\pi[/tex]

[tex] [/tex]

Answers

Answer:

783.8696

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find the area of a circle is to find the radius, multiply it by itself, then multiply by pi. The diameter is double the radius so we have to divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius. 31.6/2 is equal to 15.8, and if we plug it into our formula, we can find that the area is 15.8 * 15.8 * pi, and since we use 3.14 for pi, the area is 15.8 * 15.8 * 3.14. We can use a calculator for this part and find that the area of this circle is 783.8696.

Area of a circle is PI x r^2

You are given the diameter, the radius is half the diameter:

Area - PI x 1/2(diameter)^2

Area = 3.14 x 1/2(31.6)^2

Area = 3.14 x 15.8^2

Area = 3.14 x 249.64

Area = 783.8696 sq. cm. ( Round answer as needed)

A restaurant has 23 tables. Some of the tables seat 4 persons and the rest seat two persons. In all, 76 persons can be seated at once. How many tables of each kind are there?

Answers

Answer:

15 tables with 4 seats and 8 tables with 2 seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 4 seated tables

y = 2 seated tables

x + y = 23

4x + 2y = 76

Multiply first equation by -2 to cancel y's:

-2x - 2y = -46

4x + 2y = 76

2x = 30

x = 30 / 2

x = 15

And we said 23 tables so:

23 - 15 = 8

x = 15

y = 8
