A jeweler had a fixed amount of gold to make bracelets and necklaces. The amount of gold in each bracelet is 6 grams and the amo

unt of gold in each necklace is 16 grams. The jeweler used 178 grams of gold and made 7 more necklaces than bracelets. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of bracelets made and the number of necklaces made. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Let x represent number of bracelets and y represent number of necklaces.

We have been given that a jeweler made 7 more necklaces than bracelets. This means that number of necklaces will be x+7. We can represent this information in an equation as:

y=x+7...(1)

We have been given that the amount of gold in each bracelet is 6 grams, so amount used for x bracelets would be 6x grams.

We are also told that the amount of gold in each necklace is 16 grams, so amount used for y necklaces would be 16y grams.

Since the jeweler used 178 grams of gold, so we will equate the amount of gold used in x bracelets and y necklaces with 178 as:

6x+16y=178...(2)

Therefore, our required system of equations would be:

y=x+7...(1)

6x+16y=178...(2)

Kx + 3x = 4 solve for x.
victus00 [196]

Take out a common factor between 3x and kx. That means use the distributive law to get what you normally would start with.

x(k + 3) = 4

Now divide by k + 3

x = 4/(k + 3)

That's as much as you can do with this question.

Jeremy is making a trail mix containing raisins and peanuts. Raisins cost $1.50 per pound. Peanuts cost $2.50 per pound. Jeremy
Kobotan [32]
<span>The answer is c. 1.5r + 2.5(5 – r) = 10.50. Let r be the number of raisins and p be the number of peanuts. Raisins cost $1.50 per pound: 1.5r. Peanuts cost $2.50 per pound: 2.5p. Jeremy spends $10.50: 1.50r + 2.50p = 10.50. Jeremy makes 5 pounds of trail mix: r + p = 5. So, we have the system of two equations: 1.5r + 2.5p = 10.50 and r + p = 5. Use the second equation to express p: p = 5 - r. Now, substitute p in the first equation: 1.5r + 2.5(5 - r) = 10.50. Therefore, the correct choice is c. 1.5r + 2.5(5 – r) = 10.50.</span>

A food distributor is being sued for racial discrimination because 12% of newly hired candidates are not white when 53% of all a
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The null hypothesis would be that the proportion of newly hired candidates that are not white is not significantly different from the proportion of the applicants that are not white & there is no significant evidence that the company's hiring practices are discriminatory.

Mathematically,

H₀: μ₀ = 0.53

And the alternative hypothesis would be that there is a significant difference between the proportion of newly hired candidates that are not white is not significantly different from the proportion of the applicants that are not white. More specifically, that the proportion of newly hired candidates that are not white is significantly less than the proportion of applicants that are not white & there is significant evidence that the company's hiring practices are indeed discriminatory.

Mathematically,

Hₐ: μ₀ < 0.53

B) The two errors that can come up in this hypothesis testing include -

Type I error: We reject the null hypothesis because we obtain that the proportion of newly hired candidates that are not white is significantly less than the proportion of applicants that are not white and conclude that there is indeed significant evidence that the company's hiring practices are discriminatory when in reality, there is no significant difference and hence, no discrimination.

Type II error: We accept the null hypothesis (fail to reject the null hypothesis) because we obtained that there is no significant difference between the proportion of newly hired candidates that are not white & th proportion of applicants that are not white and conclude that there is no discrimination in the company's hiring practices when in reality, there is significant difference in the stated proportions above and significant evidence that there is indeed significant evidence that the company's hiring practices are discriminatory.

C) The power of the test increases as the significance level reduces. This is because t-statistic increases as significance level reduces.

D) The standard error of the mean used in computing the t-score is given as

σₓ = (σ/√n)

It is evident that as the value of n increases, the standard error reduces and this widens the effect of the test, hence, the power of the test increases.

Hope this Helps!!!
