A chicken farm orders bags of feed from two farmers. Store X charges $20 per bag, and store Y charges $15 per bag. The farm must

obtain at least 60 bags per week to care for the chickens properly. Store Y can provide a maximum of 40 bags per week, and the farm has committed to buy at least as many bags from store X as from store Y. The chicken farm wants to minimize the cost of ordering feed. Let x represent the number of bags of feed from store X and y represent the number of bags of feed from store Y. What are the constraints for the problem?

Answer:

x + y ≥ 60;

y ≤ 40;

x ≥ y;

x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here x represents the number of bags of feed from store X and y represents the number of bags of feed from store Y.

Given,

The farm must obtain at least 60 bags per week to care for the chickens properly,

⇒ x + y ≥ 60,

Also, Store Y can provide a maximum of 40 bags per week, and the farm has committed to buy at least as many bags from store X as from store Y.

⇒ y ≤ 40 and x ≥ y,

Now, the number of bags can not be negative,

⇒ x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0,

Hence, the constraints for the given problem are,

x + y ≥ 60;

y ≤ 40;

x ≥ y;

x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Strange problem...
Constraints are Y <= 40 bags and X=Y in quantity. Nothing else matters.  That's a bad decision unless the chicken farmer lost a poker hand to store X.

30,45,x,100; The median is 51
Alex Ar [27]
To solve for x, you must first understand how the median was calculated out of the given set of numbers. Without looking at the given median value, we can see that we cannot get the median by process of elimination since there are an even amount of numbers in this particular set. Therefore, we must average the two closest values to what should be the median.

In this case, the values are "45" and "x". If we pretend that we know the value of the variable "x" (for example we will pretend that x is 55), then we should have an equation that looks like this: (45+55) ÷ 2 = [median]. What this equation is doing is adding the two closest values to the median (45 and 55) and dividing it by 2, the number of values we are averaging. Now we can solve this equation and simplify it to 100 ÷ 2 which is 50, our median.

So if they give us the median instead of the x value, then we can rewrite the equation to fit your request: (45+x) ÷ 2 = 51. Now we can solve for x:

1. Multiply by 2
(45+x) = 102

2. Subtract 45
x = 57

The x value for your question is 57.

Which is greater 2m or 275cm
Whitepunk [10]



There is 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

Change the meter to centimeter. Multiply: 2 x 100 = 200

200 cm < 275 cm ∴  is greater by 75 cm

Johann fits a linear model to a set of data. The line of best fit has the equation y=0.331986x+5.33286. The scatter plot with th
Rasek [7]

Answer:

6.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are asked to give a residual value at x = 3

This mean we are to predict the value of y at the point x= 3

To do this, what we need to do is to input the value x = 3 into the line of best fit equation.

The line of best fit equation according to the question is;

y=0.331986x+5.33286

Substituting x here, we have

y = 0.331986(3) + 5.33286

y = 0.995958 + 5.33286 = 6.328818

Question asks to give answer to the nearest hundredth and that is 6.33

A researcher evaluates the significance of a multiple-regression equation and obtains an F-ratio with df = 2,24. How many partic
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

N=27 participants

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) "is used to analyze the differences among group means in a sample".  

The sum of squares "is the sum of the square of variation, where variation is defined as the spread between each individual value and the grand mean"  

When we conduct a multiple regression we want to know about the relationship between several independent or predictor variables and a dependent or criterion variable.

If we assume that we have k independent variables and we have  j=1,\dots,j individuals, we can define the following formulas of variation:  

SS_{total}=\sum_{j=1}^n (y_j-\bar y)^2  

SS_{regression}=SS_{model}=\sum_{j=1}^n (\hat y_{j}-\bar y)^2  

SS_{error}=\sum_{j=1}^n (y_{j}-\hat y_j)^2  

And we have this property  

SST=SS_{regression}+SS_{error}  

The degrees of freedom for the model on this case is given by df_{model}=df_{regression}=k=2 where k =2 represent the number of variables.

The degrees of freedom for the error on this case is given by df_{error}=N-k-1=24. Sinc we know k we can find N.

N=24+k+1=24+2+1=27

And the total degrees of freedom would be df=N-1=27 -1 =26

On this case the correct answer would be N=27 participants
