Answer:

$42.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a proportion using the following setup:

cost/pounds=cost/pounds

We know that it costs $20.42 for a 10 pound turkey.

$20.42/10 pounds= cost/pounds

We don't know how much a 21 pound turkey costs, so we can say that it costs $x for a 21 pound turkey.

$20.42/ 10 pounds= $x/ 21 pounds

20.42/10=x/21

We want to find x, by getting x by itself.

x is being divided by 21. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 21.

21*(20.42/10)=(x/21)*21

21* 20.42/10=x

21*2.042=x

42.882=x

Round to the nearest cent, or hundredth.

42.88=x

x= $42.88

A 21 pound turkey costs $42.88

Chevy has some yarn that he wants to use to make hats and scarves. Each hat uses 0.2 kilograms of yarn a

professor190 [17]

Answer:

h + s = 15

2h + s = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hats Chevy made = h

Let the number of scarves made by Chevy = s

From the statement of the question, " Chevy made a total number of 15 items"

Equation will be h + s = 15

Amount of yarn used to make one hat = 0.2 kilograms

So amount of yarn used to make "h"hats = 0.2h kilograms

Similarly Amount of yarn used to make one scarf = 0.1 kilograms

So amount of yarn used to make "h" scarves = 0.1s kilograms

Another statement states " Chevy wants to use 2 kilograms of yarn to make these items".

Equation for this statement will be,

0.2h + 0.1s = 2

OR 2h + s = 20 [By multiplying the equation by 10]

Therefore, system of the equations will be

h + s = 15

2h + s = 20

A game is played using one die. If the die is rolled and shows 1, the player wins $5. If the die shows any number other than 1,

mash [69]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

i had a similar question

For each roll you start with paying 2 dollars and you only with 10 dollars one out of 6 rolls (on average).

So the cost for one play is 2 dollars and your win is 10/6.

Value is -2+10/6=-1/3 dollars

So you lose 1/3 dollars on average with each game

since you have no limited rolls u put 1/5

this from another question but both same just different numbers

A law school administrator was interested in whether a student's score on the entrance exam can be used to predict a student's g

frutty [35]

Answer:

The correlation coeffcient for this case was provided:

r =0.934

And this coefficient is very near to 1 the maximum possible value, so then we can interpret that the relationship between the entrace exam score and the grade point average are strongly linearly correlated .

We can also find the $r^2$ who represent the determination coefficient and we got:

$r^2 = 0.934^2= 0.872$

And the interpretation for this is that a linear model explains appproximately 87.2% of the variability between the two variables

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

The correlation coeffcient for this case was provided:

r =0.934

We can also find the $r^2$ who represent the determination coefficient and we got:

$r^2 = 0.934^2= 0.872$

And the interpretation for this is that a linear model explains appproximately 87.2% of the variability between the two variables
