-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people = 165
Adult = $6
Child = $2
Total collected = $618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the number of adults and y be the number of children

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form equations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total number of people
x + y = 165
Total amount collected 
6x + 2y = 618

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: The two equations are x + y = 165 and 6x + 2y = 618
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


The question is not asking for it but if you need to solve the equation to find the answer to x and y

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Present the two equations and solve for x and y
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 165          ------------------------- (eqn 1)
6x + 2y = 618      ------------------------- (eqn 2)

(eqn 1) : 
x + y = 165
x = 165 - y -------------------------  substitute into (eqn 2)

6(165 - y) + 2y = 618
990 - 6y + 2y = 618
4y = 990 - 618
4y = 372
y = 93 -------------------------  substitute into (eqn 1)

x + y = 165
x + 93 = 165
x = 165 - 93
x = 72 

x = 72 and y = 93

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ans: 72 adults and 93 children

Answer:

\begin{bmatrix}1 & 1|165\\ 6 & 2|618\end{bmatrix}

Step-by-step explanation:

A total of 165 people attended the opening night of a school play.

Let there were adults = x  and number of children = y

So x + y = 165 ----------(1)

Now we know adults were charged $6 and children $2.

The total amount collected $618

so  6x + 2y = 618 ----------(2)

Now the augmented matrix for the system of equations will be \begin{bmatrix}1 & 1|165\\ 6 & 2|618\end{bmatrix}

pantera1 [17]
Assuming that the histogram is represented by the given numbers:

7 days = 80 to 82 degrees Celsius
9 days = 82 to 84 degrees Celsius
6 days = 84 to 86 degrees Celsius
5 days = 86 to 88 degrees Celsius
3 days = 88 to 90 degrees Celsius

The days with a temperature below 86 degrees Celsius are day 7, 9, and 6.  <span />

24. ABCDE and PQRST are regular pentagons.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

126°

Step-by-step explanation:

In quadrilateral DSRC, SR || DC (given)

AP = BQ = CR = DS = ET (given)

\therefore CR bisects \angle DCB

\therefore m\angle DCR=\frac{108\degree}{2}

(108\degree is the measure of an angle of pentagon)

\therefore m\angle DCR=54\degree

\because m\angle DCR + m\angle SRC=180\degree

(Measure of interior angles on the same side of transversal)

\therefore 54\degree + m\angle SRC=180\degree

\therefore  m\angle SRC=180\degree- 54\degree

\therefore  m\angle SRC=126\degree

Water flows into a swimming pool at the rate of 8.0 gal/min. The pool is 16 ft wide, 32 ft long and 8.0 ft deep. How long does i
VLD [36.1K]

1 foot = 12 inches

(1 foot)^3 = (12 inches)^3

1 cubic foot = (12^3) cubic inches

1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches, will be used as a conversion factor

--------------

Find the volume of the pool. Assume it is a rectangular prism.

Volume = length*width*height

Volume = 32*16*8

Volume = 4096 cubic feet

Multiply by 1728, which was the conversion factor found earlier, to convert from cubic feet to cubic inches.

4096 cubic feet = (4096*1728) cubic inches = 7077888 cubic inches

--------------

Now use the fact that 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches to convert from cubic inches to gallons

7077888 cubic inches = (7077888 cubic inches)*(1 gallon/231 cubic inches) = 7077888/231 = 30640.2078 gallons which is approximate

--------------

If x is the amount of time in minutes, then 8x gallons of water have been added after x minutes. Set this equal to 30640.2078 and solve for x

8x = 30640.2078

x = 30640.2078/8

x = 3830.02598

Divide this by 60 to convert to hours

3830.02598/60 = 63.8337663

<h3>It takes approximately 63.8 hours to fill the pool</h3>

This is approximately 63.8/24 = 2.625 days

Two different samples will be taken from the same population of test scores where the population mean and standard deviation are
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The sample consisting of 64 data values would give a greater precision.

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of a (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population mean μ is:

\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

So, from the formula of the width of the interval it is clear that the width is inversely proportion to the sample size (<em>n</em>).

That is, as the sample size increases the interval width would decrease and as the sample size decreases the interval width would increase.

Here it is provided that two different samples will be taken from the same population of test scores and a 95% confidence interval will be constructed for each sample to estimate the population mean.

The two sample sizes are:

<em>n</em>₁ = 25

<em>n</em>₂ = 64

The 95% confidence interval constructed using the sample of 64 values will have a smaller width than the the one constructed using the sample of 25 values.

Width for n = 25:

\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{25}}=\frac{1}{5}\cdot [2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma]        

Width for n = 64:

\text{Width}=2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{64}}=\frac{1}{8}\cdot [2\cdot z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sigma]

Thus, the sample consisting of 64 data values would give a greater precision
