Answer:

  • No, different

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Last year</h3>

Bought 40 sets

Sold 25 sets

  • Error = 25 - 40 = -15
  • Absolute error = | - 15| = 15
  • Percent error =  15/40*100% = 37.5%
<h3>This year</h3>

Bought 75 sets

Sold 60 sets

  • Error = 60 - 75 = -15
  • Absolute error = |-15| = 15
  • Percent error = 15/75*100% = 20%

We can see absolute errors are same but percent errors are different.

The reason is the referenced numbers are different.

Tanzania [10]
The score of 96 is 2 standard deviations above the mean score. Using the empirical rule for a normal distribution, the probability of a score above 96 is 0.0235.
Therefore the number of students scoring above 96 is given by:
230\times 0.0235=5\ students

The ratio of money in Brian's wallet to Colin's wallet one day was 5:1. Brian spent £27 that day. Brian now had £3 less than Col
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Brian had $30 initially.Brian had $30 initially.

Step-by-step explanation:

WE are given the following in the question:

Let Brian have x dollars and Colin have y dollars.

Ration of Brian's money to Colin's money is 5:1. This, we can write the equation:

\dfrac{x}{y} = \dfrac{5}{1}\\\\x = 5y

"Brian spent £27 that day. Brian now had £3 less than Colin."

Thus, we can write the equation:

x-27 = y-3\\x-y = 24

Solving the two equation by substitution, we get,

x - y - 24\\5y - y = 24\\4y = 24\\y=6\\x = 5y =30

Thus, Brian had $30 initially.

A store sells yogurt in small, medium, and large sizes. A small yogurt costs $2, a medium costs $3, and a large costs $5. In one
lidiya [134]
Let S = number of small yogurts ($2 each).
Let M = number of medium yogurts ($3 each)
Let L = number of large yogurts ($5 each)

Total yogurts is 27, therefore
S + M + L = 27

Total revenue generated is $98, therefore
2S + 3M +5L = 98

There are five more large yogurts than small yogurts, therefore
L = S + 5, or
-S + L = 5

These three equations may be written as the matrix equation
[  1   1   1  | |S|      |27|
|  2  3  5 | |M| =   |98|
| -1   0  1 | |L|       | 5|

The determinant of the matrix is
D = 3 - (2+5) + 3 = -1.

Solve with Cramer's Rule to obtain
S = -[27*3) - (98-25) - 15]
   = 7
M = -[(98-25) - 27(2+5) + (10+98)]
    = 8
L = -[15 - (10+98) + 27(3)]
   = 12

Answer: 7 small, 8 medium, 12 large yogurts.
