Luis is saving money to purchase a new video game. He has a total of 30 coins consisting of nickels and dimes. The value of the

coins is $2.20. Let n represent the number of nickels and let d represent the number of dimes. Which system of equations can be used to determine the number of nickels and the number of dimes Luis has?

Answer:

$n+d=30$ and

$0.05n+0.10d=2.20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of nickels

Let d represent the number of dimes.

Luis has a total of 30 coins; equation becomes:

$n+d=30$

or $n=30-d$ ..... (1)

The value of the coins is $2.20 ; equation becomes:

{a dime is worth 10 cents and a nickel is 5 cents}

$0.05n+0.10d=2.20$ ..... (2)

Putting the value of n from (1) in (2)

$0.05(30-d)+0.10d=2.20$

=> $1.5-0.05d+0.10d=2.20$

=> $0.05d=2.20-1.5$

=> $0.05d=0.7$

=> d=14

And n=30-d

so, $n=30-14=16$

So, the system of equations used to determine the number of nickels and the number of dimes Luis has are :

$n+d=30$ and

$0.05n+0.10d=2.20$

Suppose you are told that a distribution is said to be approximately normal because outliers have skewed the data. List the poss

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Outline are values which are entirely different from those remaining values in a data set. These extreme values can skew an approximately normal distribution by skewing the distribution in the direction of the outliers and this makes it difficult for the data set to be analyzed.

Its effect is such that the mean becomes extremely sensitive to extreme outliers making it possible that the mean is this not a representative of the population and this theoretically affects the standard deviation.

The average credit card debt for a recent year was $8,776. Five years earlier the average credit card debt was $8,189. Assume sa

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

We reject H₀. We support that the new average credit card debt is bigger than the previous average

Step-by-step explanation:

Five years earlier

μ = 8189

σ = 690

Sample size n = 32

Recent year debt

x = 8776

Sample size n = 32

a) Hypothesis Test:

Null Hypothesis H₀ x = μ = 8189

Alternative Hypothesis Hₐ x > μ

b) z(c) Alternative Hypothesis establishes that the test is a one tail-test to the right.

z(c) for significance level α = 0.05 is from z-table z(c) = 1,64

c) z(s) = ( x - μ ) / σ /√n

z(s) = ( 8776 - 8189 ) / 690 /√32

z(s) = 587 *5,66/ 690

z(s) = 4,81

d) Comparing z(c) and z(s)

z(s) > z(c) Then z(c) is in the rejection region and we reject H₀

e) We have evidence that at 95 % of confidence the new value for the debt in credit card is now bigger than the average

Marketing companies have collected data implying that teenage girls use more ring tones on their cell phones than teenage boys d

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The p-value here is 0.0061, which is very small and we have evidence that the girls' mean is higher than the boys' mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We suppose that the two samples are independent and normally distributed with equal variances. Let $\mu_{1}$ be the mean number of ring tones for girls, and $\mu_{2}$ the mean number of ring tones for boys.

We want to test $H_{0}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} = 0$ vs $H_{1}: \mu_{1}-\mu_{2} > 0$ (upper-tail alternative).

The test statistic is

T = $\frac{\bar{X}_{1}-\bar{X}_{2}-0}{S_{p}\sqrt{1/n_{1}+1/n_{2}}}$

where

$S_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{(n_{1}-1)S_{1}^{2}+(n_{2}-1)S_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2}}$ .

For this case, $n_{1}=n_{2}=20$ , $\bar{x}_{1}=3.2$ , $s_{1}=1.5$ , $\bar{x}_{2}=2.2$ , $s_{2}=0.8$ .

$s_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{(19)(1.5)^{2}+(19)(0.8)^{2}}{38}} = 1.2021$ and the observed value is

t = $\frac{3.2-2.2}{1.2021\sqrt{1/20+1/20}} = \frac{1}{0.3801} = 2.6309$ .

We can compute the p-value as P(T > 2.6309) where T has a t distribution with 20 + 20 - 2 = 38 degrees of freedom, so, the p-value is 0.0061. Because the p-value is very small, we can reject the null hypothesis for instance, at the significance level of 0.05.
