Answer:

1.33 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of any shape is given by cross sectional area multiplied by height. Therefore, V=Ah

Where A is area and h is height

Since their cross sections are the same, then volume depends on height.

If 12cm equals 2 liters

8cm equals x

X=(2*8)/12=1.3333333333333 liters

Approximayely, the smaller pail has capacity of 1.33 liters

Lydia buys 5 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of bananas for a total of $8.50. Ari buys 3 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of bananas

Anarel [89]

5x + 3y= 8.50
3x + 2y= 5.25

Lydia is the first equation. She bought 5 pounds of apples which is x and bought 3 pounds of bananas which is y. Basically, remember each banana and apple weighs a price per pound. We don't know the price so we just put an x. This is the same for the second equation

Suppose the coefficient matrix of a system of linear equations has a pivot position in every row. Explain why the system is cons

kap26 [50]

Answer:

If in each row of the supposed coefficient matrix, there is a pivot position. Therefore, it is true that the bottom row of the coefficient matrix also has a pivot position. As a result, there will not be space for the augmented column to have a. Thus, we say the system is consistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem, we have a coefficient matrix comprising linear equations. If in each row of the supposed coefficient matrix, there is a pivot position. Therefore, it is true that the bottom row of the coefficient matrix also has a pivot position. As a result, there will not be space for the augmented column to have a. Thus, we say the system is consistent based on the theorem.

Josh used a standard deck of 52 cards to conduct an experiment. Half of the cards in the deck were red. The other half were blac

geniusboy [140]

Answer: C. He used too few trials for the sample space.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Josh used a standard deck of 52 cards to conduct an experiment.

As half of the cards in the deck were red.

If we take sample space= 52 cards

Then probability of getting a red card $=\frac{1}{2}$

But Josh took 8 cards as sample space which is not enough for the sample space.

therefore, C. is the right answer. "He used too few trials for the sample space."

A movie theater sells popcorn in bags of different sizes. The table shows the volume of popcorn and the price of the bag.

Answer:

<em>The price for a 60-ounce bag of popcorn would be $16</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Function Modeling</u>

The behavior of some parameters that depend on a set of variables can be modeled in several ways, like linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, among many others.

The selection of the model is often a complex decision that involves statistics and data analysis.

The question provides us with four points where the volume of popcorn bags and the price in dollars. The easiest function that can be used is the line.

The equation of a line of the volume V and the price p can be found with the expression

$\displaystyle p-p_1=\frac{p_2-p_1}{V_2-V_1}(V-V_1)$

We'll use the first two values (6,10) (8,20)

$\displaystyle p-6=\frac{8-6}{20-10}(V-10)$

Simplifying and rearranging, we get the model

$\displaystyle p(V)=\frac{1}{5}V+4$

To test the accuracy of the model, we compute the values of p for V=35 and for V=48

$\displaystyle p(35)=\frac{1}{5}(35)+4=11$

$\displaystyle p(48)=\frac{1}{5}(48)+4=13.6$

Since the computed values are equal to those of the table, the model is accurate. We can now predict the price for V=60

$\displaystyle p(60)=\frac{1}{5}(60)+4=16$

The price for a 60-ounce bag of popcorn would be $16

Which situation could be represented by the graph?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

A program at a community college can be completed in no fewer than 8 months, but must be completed in less than 11 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The closed dot means the number is equal to and the open dot means the number is less/ greater than

2. The line goes right from the 8 with a closed dot, making x greater than or equal to 8

3. The line goes left from the 11 with an open dot, making x less than ll

4. This means the number must be equal to or greater than 8, and less than 11
