4 pair × $42 = 168
3 belts cost 45 and one will cost 15
if belt costs 15 wallet will cost $27

Let, the cost of a belt = x
cost of a wallet = y

Then, system of equations would be:
x + y = 42
7x + 4y = 213

Multiply 1st equation by 4,
4x + 4y = 168
Substitute it from 2nd equation,
3x = 45
x = 15

Now, substitute it in 1st equation,
15 + y = 42
y = 42 - 15 = 27

In short, Belt costs $15 and wallet costs $27

Hope this helps!

Answer:

For this case we want to test if the mean number of filled overnight beds is over 523. If X represent our random variable "number of filled overnight beds", the system of hypothesis are:

Null Hypothesis: $\mu \leq 523$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 523$

And for this case after conduct the test is FAIL to reject the null hypothesis. So then we can conclude that the claim that the number of filled overnight beds is over 523 is not statistically supported

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to test if the mean number of filled overnight beds is over 523. If X represent our random variable "number of filled overnight beds", the system of hypothesis are:

Null Hypothesis: $\mu \leq 523$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 523$

A bakery uses 70% of its milk in one week. They now have 36 quarts of milk left. The bakery started the week with how many quart

PIT_PIT [208]

The bakery starts a week with 100% quarts of milk.
In the course of the week they use 70%, meaning the remainder is 30% quarts of milk.
Therefore, the remaining quarts are equivalent to 30%
thus, 36 = 30% to get 100% ;
(36/30) ×100 = 120
Therefore, the bakery started the week with 120 quarts of milk
