Answer:

  book 25; pen 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let b and p represent the cost of a book and a pen, respectively, then the two purchases can be written as ...

  7b +4p = 207

  5b +5p = 165

Multiply the second equation by 4/5 and subtract the result from the first equation:

  (7b +4p) -4/5(5b +5p) = (207) -4/5(165)

  3b = 75 . . . . simplify

  b = 25 . . . . . divide by 3

Dividing the second equation by 5 gives ...

  b + p = 33

Solving for p, we have ...

  p = 33 -b = 33 -25 = 8

The cost of an exercise book is 25; the cost of a pen is 8.

Assuming that a computer has been used to compute a P-value = 0.01635, what can we conclude about the following situation? A sim
Arada [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, we would write the hypothesis.

For the null hypothesis,

H0 : µ = 70

For the null hypothesis,

Ha : µ > 70

This is a right tailed test because of the symbol of greater than.

The decision rule is to reject the null hypothesis if the level of significance is greater than the p value and accept the null hypothesis if the level of significance is lesser than the p value.

Therefore, since the significance level, 0.05 > p value, 0.01635, then we would reject the null hypothesis. There is enough evidence that the mean speed of all cars is greater than the posted speed limit of 70 mph.
