y was 2 more than four times the number of paperback books, p, sold that same day. The total amount of sales for that day was $160. Jean-Paul wrote the following system of linear equations to find the number of each type of book sold.
8 h + 4 p = 160. p = 4 h + 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

paperbacks (p) for $4 and hardbacks (h) for $ 8......totaling 160

8h + 4p = 160...he got this one right

hardcover(h)  = 2 more then 4 times the number of paperbacks(p)

h = 4p + 2

his mistake :

he put p = 4h + 2....meaning paperbacks = 2 more then 4 times the hardcover(h)

(aii) The correct answer is the last option; Whether the student believes that global warming is a serious issue or not.

(b)  The correct answer is the first option; two-sample t interval

Step-by-step explanation:

A response variable in statistics is the idea or concept of needs to be proven right or wrong. It remains a response variable until it has been proven.  

An explanatory variable simply means an independent variable. It doesn't depend on any other variable and at the same time, it can be manipulated.

In construct a 95% confidence interval to compare the two groups, two-sample t test is the appropriate t test to use.

Which equation combines with the given equation to form a system of equations with the solution x = 3 and y = 9? x + 2y = 21
max2010maxim [7]
Yes. x=3 and y =9 are the solutions.
 Because if you change x=3 and y =9 ,you will have 
3+2* 9 =21
3+18 =21
21 =21 (true)

Dafna1 [17]
There are a total of 297 students in the 7th grade. Rough estimates would say that about half of that number are boys and half are girls. Asking only 50 random girls would be biased because not only would it not be all of the girls (the number of girls would be around 148 or 149) but it would also be ignoring the roughly 148 to 149 boys there are on estimate. The sample would be biased because it would be ignoring the opinions of more than half the seventh grade.

Which number line models the expression 1/8-(-3/4)
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

\frac{7}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: \frac{1}{8}-(\frac{-3}{4} )

To find: number which represents the expression

Solution:

Integers refers to natural numbers, 0 together with negative of rational numbers.

A rational number is the number of the form \frac{p}{q} where p and q are integers and q\neq 0 .

\frac{1}{8}-(\frac{-3}{4} )=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{4}\\ =\frac{1+6}{8}\\ =\frac{7}{8}

So, \frac{7}{8} represents \frac{1}{8}-(\frac{-3}{4} )

How many ounces of pure nickel must be added to 150 ounces of alloy 70% pure to make an alloy which is 85% pure?
galben [10]

Answer:

150 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are already 150 ounces of alloy of nickel.

Of this 150 oz, 70% is pure i.e. nickel content = 150(0.7) = 105 oz

Now available is

Nickel       Other metals

105                  45

Let x oz of pure nickel is added.

Then new alloy will have 105+x oz nickel in total of 150+x oz.

Percentage pure = \frac{105+x}{150+x} =85%

Simplify to get

\frac{105+x}{150+x} =\frac{85}{100} \\\\Cross multiply:\\85(150+x) =100(105+x)\\12750+85x =10500+100x\\100x-85x = 12750-10500\\15x = 2250\\x = 150

Hence answer is 150 oz should be added.
