A local high school held a two-day fundraiser selling lunches. The equations shown represent the amount of money the school coll

ected during the two days. {12x + 4y = 15232x + 12y = 420 In the equations, x represents the cost of a chicken lunch and y represents the cost of a vegetarian lunch. Which is the cost of the vegetarian lunch?

Answer:

  11

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations appear to be ...

  • 12x +4y = 152
  • 32x +12y = 420

These can be solved for y using Cramer's rule:

  y = (152(32) -420(12))/(4(32) -12(12)) = -176/-16 = 11

The cost of the vegetarian lunch is 11.

_____

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>

For equations ...

  ax +by =c

  dx +ey = f

The solutions are ...

  x = (bf -ey)/(bd -ea)

  y = (cd -fa)/(bd -ea) . . . . note the denominators are the same expression

Once you memorize the pattern of products, this can be the simplest way to solve a pair of equations--especially if you only need one of the variable values.

jonathan ran 5 days this week. the most he ran in one day was 3.5 miles. write an inequality that shows the distance jonathan co
poizon [28]
Let m represent the number of miles this guy runs in a day.
He runs every day, so the minimum number of miles has to be greater than 0.
According to the problem statement, the max number of miles is 3.5 miles or less.

Translate this into a (symbolic) inequality.

An experiment was performed to compare the wear of two different laminated materials. Twelve pieces of material 1 were tested by
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

At 0.05 level of significance, the abrasive wear of material 1 exceeds that of material 2 by more than 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We hypothesize that mean difference between abrasive wear of material 1 and material 2 is greater than 2.

So we write the null hypothesis H_0 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 >2,

and the alternative hypothesis H_1: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \leq 2.

We will find the T-score as well as the p-value. If the p-value is less than the level of significance, we will reject the null hypothesis, i.e. we will conclude that the abrasive wear of material 1 is less than that of material 2. Otherwise, we will accept the null hypothesis.

Since the variance is unknown and assumed to be equal, we will use the pooled variance

s_p^2 = \frac{(n_1-1)s_1^2 + (n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2} = 20.05,

where n_1 = 12, n_2 =10, s_1 =4, s_2 = 5.

The mean of material 1 and material 2 are \mu_1 =85, \mu_2=81 respectively and mean difference d is equal to 4. The hypothesize difference d_0 is equal to 2.

To find the T-score, we use the following formula

T = \frac{d - d_0}{\sqrt{\frac{s_p^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_p^2}{n_2} }}

Substituting all the values into the T-score formula gives us T = 1.04, and the respective p-value is equal to 0.31. This means we have enough statistical evidence not to reject the null hypothesis, and at 5% significance level, the abrasive wear of material 1 exceeds that of material 2 by more than 2 units.
