Let the cost of a chicken be x and the cost of a duck, y, then

50x + 30y = 550 . . . (1)
44x + 36y = 532 . . . (2)

(1) x 6 ⇒ 300x + 180y = 3,300 . . . (3)
(2) x 5 ⇒ 220x + 180y = 2,660 . . . (4)

(3) - (4) ⇒ 80x = 640
⇒ x = 640 / 80 = 8

From (1): 50(8) + 30y = 550
⇒ 30y = 550 - 400 = 150
⇒ y = 150 / 30 = 5

Therefore, the price of a chicken is $8 and the price of a duck is $5.

An article estimates, with 90% confidence, that the proportion of elementary school teachers who are female is 82%. The article
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:   (80% , 85%)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

(p-E , p+E)

, where p = sample proportion , E = Margin of error.

Given : Proportion of elementary school teachers who are female = 82%.

The article also states the maximum error of their estimate = 3%.

Then, the 90% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school teachers who are female will be :

(82%-2% , 82%+3%)

= (80% , 85%)

Hence, the resulting 90% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school teachers who are female = (80% , 85%)

Viefleur [7K]

Solution:

we are given that

Nathan takes 42 minutes to thread a distance of 4.5 miles on a threadmill.

we have been asked to find the average distance covered in one minute.

Using the  concept of unity we can write

Since Nathan takes 42 minutes to cover a distance of 4.5 miles.

So in 1 minute Nathan will cover a distance of =\frac{4.5}{42} =1.07142miles

Hence avearge distance covered in one minute is 1.1 miles.
