Answer:

<em>Herlene has 8 dimes and 17 quarters</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Let's call:

x = number of dimes Herlene has

y = number of quarters Herlene has

Since each dime has a value of $0.10 and each quarter has a value of $0.25, the total money Herlene has is 0.10x+0.25y.

We know this amount is $5.05, thus:

0.10x + 0.25y = 5.05        [1]

It's also given the number of quarters is one more than twice the number of dimes, i.e.:

y = 2x + 1        [2]

Substituting in [1]:

0.10x + 0.25(2x + 1) = 5.05

Operating:

0.10x + 0.5x + 0.25 = 5.05

0.6x = 5.05 - 0.25

0.6x = 4.8

x = 8

From [2]:

y = 2*8 + 1 = 17

y = 17

Herlene has 8 dimes and 17 quarters

Of 560 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and genetically compared
frutty [35]

Answer:

a) (0.5256,0.5944)  

c) Criticism is invalid

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 560

Proportion of mislabeled = 56%

\hat{p} = 0.56

a) 90% Confidence interval:

\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 1.64

Putting the values, we get:

0.56\pm 1.64(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.56(1-0.56)}{560}}) = 0.56\pm 0.0344\\\\=(0.5256,0.5944)

b) Interpretation of confidence interval:

We are 90% confident that the true proportion of all seafood in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified is between 0.5256 and 0.5944 that is 52.56% and 59.44%.

c) Validity of criticism

Conditions for validity:

np > 10\\n(1-p)>10

Verification:

560\times 0.56 = 313.6>10\\560(1-0.56) = 246.4>10

Both the conditions are satisfied. This, the criticism is invalid.

The measure of ADB is 162 . what is the measure of EAB?
Xelga [282]
An angle formed by a chord and a tangent line is half the measure of the intercepted arc.

 The intercepted arc is ADB, which is given as 162 degrees.

Angle EAB = 1/2 of 162

The answer is 81 degrees.

Which of the following graphs could be the graph of the function f(x) = x4 + x3 – x2 – x?
vitfil [10]

<u> Solution-</u>

The given function is,

f(x) = x^4+ x^3-x^2-x

     = x^3(x+1)- x(x+1)

     = (x+1)(x^3-x)

     = (x+1)x(x^2-1)

     = (x+1)x(x+1)(x-1)

     = {(x+1)}^2x(x-1)

Therefore, at x=0, -1, 1 , f(x) will be 0 . Hence, 0, -1 ,1 are the x-intercepts.

Plotting the graph on desmos, the graph will be as in the attachment.

A computer randomly selects a letter from the alphabet.
Nikolay [14]

1) 26 different outcomes are in the sample space.

2) 1 / 26 is the probability that the computer produces the first letter of your first name.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>1) You have to find out the different outcomes in the sample space :</u>

  • A "Sample space" is defined as the set of all the possible outcomes of an event.
  • Here, the given event is randomly selecting a letter from the alphabets.

Therefore, the sample space must contain all the possible alphabets that can  be chosen randomly.

The sample space is the set of all the 26 alphabets in English language.

⇒ Sample space = {A,B,C,D...........,Y,Z}

⇒ 26 different outcomes.

<u>2) The probability the computer produces the first letter of your first name :</u>

Here, the required outcome is getting the first letter of your first name.

Probability = No. of required outcomes / total no. of outcomes.

For example, The name Alex Davis has the first letter of the fist name as alphabet 'A'.

∴ Probability = 1 / 26

Similarly, for any first name there is going to be any one alphabet from the 26 alphabets, thus the probability to get the first letter will be always 1 / 26.
