Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Choose a person.

2. Substitute the numbers into the correct values.

105 - 15 = ?/5 = 18

105 - 18 = ?/5 = 3.48

105 - 12 = ?/5 = 18.6

105 - 23 = ?/5 = 16.4

It is A because it is the only one in which the answer is equivalent to the cost.

Hope this helps:)

Answer:

The answer is A. .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $s$ represent the amount of sunglasses bought and $t$ represent the amount of shirts bought.

Scarlet bought 3 pairs of sunglasses and 2 shirts for $81. In other words:

$3s+2t=81$

Paula bought one pair of sunglasses and five shirts for $105. In other words:

$s+5t=105$

We have a system of equations and can solve it by isolating $s$ .

$s+5t=105$

$s=105-5t$

Now, substitute.

$3s+2t=81$

$3(105-5t)+2t=81$

$315-15t+2t=81$

$-13t=-234$

$t=18$

Now, determine $s.$

$s=105-5t$

$s=105-5(18)$

$s=15$

Thus, a pair of sunglasses is $15 and a shirt is $18.

Answer:

$(240-210) -1.984 \sqrt{\frac{8.6^2}{100}+\frac{5.7^2}{100}}=27.953$

$(240-210) +1.984 \sqrt{\frac{8.6^2}{100}+\frac{5.7^2}{100}}=32.047$

And the confidence interval for the difference is between:

$27.953 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 32.047$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info given:

$\bar X_1 = 240$ sample mean for medium Pizzas from Prim's

$\bar X_2 = 210$ sample mean for medium Pizzas from Pizza Place

$s_1 =8.6$ sample deviation for Prim's

$s_2 =5.7$ sample deviation for Pizza Palca

$n_1 =n_2 = 100$ sample size selected for each case

The confidence interval for the difference of means is given by:

$(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2) \pm t_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1}{n_1} +\frac{s^2_2}{n_2}}$

And for the 95% confidence we need a significance level of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , the degrees of freedom are given by:

$df= n_1 +n_2 -2= 100+100-2 =98$

And the critical value would be

$t_{\alpha/2}= 1.984$

And replacing we got:

$(240-210) -1.984 \sqrt{\frac{8.6^2}{100}+\frac{5.7^2}{100}}=27.953$

$(240-210) +1.984 \sqrt{\frac{8.6^2}{100}+\frac{5.7^2}{100}}=32.047$

And the confidence interval for the difference is between:

$27.953 \leq \mu_1 -\mu_2 \leq 32.047$

If pentagon ABCDE is rotated 180 degrees around the origin to create pentagon A’B’C’D’E’, what is the ordered pair of point A’?

Semmy [17]

Answer:

(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is at (-2,4)

Rule of a 180° rotation about the origin: (x,y) --> (-x,-y)

Using the rule, (-2,4) will become (2,-4).

A' should be (2,-4) or Option A.

The Ignorance Survey: United Kingdom A survey was conducted in the United Kingdom, where respondents were asked if they had a un

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Here we have given two catogaries as degree holder and non degree holder.

So here we have to test the hypothesis that,

H0 : p1 = p2 Vs H1 : p1 not= p2

where p1 is population proportion of degree holder.

p2 is population proportion of non degree holder.

Assume alpha = level of significance = 5% = 0.05

The test is two tailed.

Here test statistic follows standard normal distribution.

The test statistic is,

Z = (p1^ - p2^) / SE

where SE = sqrt[(p^*q^)/n1 + (p^*q^)/n2]

p1^ = x1/n1

p2^ = x2/n2

p^ = (x1+x2) / (n1+n2)

This we can done in TI_83 calculator.

steps :

STAT --> TESTS --> 6:2-PropZTest --> ENTER --> Input all the values --> select alternative "not= P2" --> ENTER --> Calculate --> ENTER

Test statistic Z = 1.60

P-value = 0.1090

P-value > alpha

Fail to reject H0 or accept H0 at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion : There is not sufficient evidence to say that the percent of correct answers is significantly different between degree holders and non-degree holders.
