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

hour, the shop sold 27 yogurts for $98. There were five more large yogurts than small yogurts. The matrix below represents the system of equations in this situation
How many of each size yogurt did the store sell during that hour?
7 small yogurts, 8 medium yogurts, 12 large yogurts12 small yogurts, 8 medium yogurts, 7 large yogurts27 small yogurts, 98 medium yogurts, 5 large yogurts98 small yogurts, 27 medium yogurts, 5 large yogurts

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.

In a basketball game, Tatiana made 23 baskets. Each of the baskets was worth either 2 or 3 points, and Tatiana scored a total of
vekshin1

X+y=23 (x and y added equal the number of baskets made)

2x+3y=53 (since each basket is worth a certain amount of points, x and y must be multiplied by their amount of baskets and added together to get the total number of points)

Hope this helps!

A sociologist wants to determine if the life expectancy of people in africa is less than the life expectancy of people in asia.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The sample statistics are attached.

First, we need to determine the hypothesis.

The null hypothesis should be: H_{o} : u_{africa} \geq u_{asia}.

The alternative hypothesis should be: H_{a}: u_{africa}

The next step is about calculating the<em> t statistics </em>based on the samples. This <em>t test </em>will give the probability value or p-value, which determines if there's enough to reject the null hypothesis. The formula we need to use to find the t-value is: t=\frac{x_{1}-x_{2}  }{\sqrt{\frac{s_{1} ^{2} }{n_{1} } +\frac{s_{2} ^{2} }{n_{2} } } }

Replacing all the values into the formula, we have:

t=\frac{52.4-58.1}{\sqrt{\frac{(7.4)^{2} }{45}+\frac{(8.8)^{2} }{35}  } } \\t=\frac{-5.7}{\sqrt{1.2+2.2} } =\frac{-5.7}{1.8} =-3.2

Therefore, the t-value is -3.2.

Now, we using a level of significance of 0.01, and a degree of freedom (df) of 34, we use the t-table to find the p-value for this results. (df = N -1; in this case, we take the smaller sample, which is 35, giving us 34 of df).

Therefore, according to the table attached, <em>the p-value is less than 0.01,</em> which is less than our level of significance. This result means that the null hypothesis is rejected. In other words, there's enough evidence to say that <em>the life expectancy of people in Africa is less than the life of expectancy of people in Asia.</em>

The tax rate is 3.9%<br> What is the tax on 42$? <br> Round to the nearest hundredth
mafiozo [28]
To find the total price, we use this equation:
42 + 0.039(42)
We can make it simpler:
1.039(42)
Multiply:
43.638
Because we're rounding
The total price is $43.64
