The box office took in a total of $2905 in paid admissions for the high-school musical. Adult tickets cost $8 each, and student

tickets cost $3 each. If 560 people attended the show, how many were students? Let s = the number of students attending, and let a = the number of adults attending. Which two equations can be used to solve this problem? Select the two that apply.

There are no equations to choose from but it should look like the following.

a= # of adult tickets
s= # of student tickets

QUANTITY EQUATION
a + s= 560

COST EQUATION
$8a + $3s= $2905

***If you have to also solve for the number of adults and students, here are the steps.

STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -8

-8(a + s)= -8(560)
-8a - 8s= -4480

STEP 2:
add cost equation and step 1 equation

$8a + $3s= $2905
-8a - 8s= -4480
a term cancels out to zero
-5s= -1575
divide both sides by -5
s= 315 students

STEP 3:
substitute s=315 in quantity equation
a + s= 560
a + 315= 560
subtract 315 from both sides
a= 245 adults

ANSWER:
Quantity Equation
a + s= 560

Cost Equation
$8a + $3s= $2905

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

a. H0:μ1≥μ2

Ha:μ1<μ2

b. t=-3.076

c. Rejection region=[tcalculated<−1.717]

Reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

As the score for group 1 is lower than group 2,

Null hypothesis: H0:μ1≥μ2

Alternative hypothesis: H1:μ1<μ2

b) t test statistic for equal variances

t=(xbar1-xbar2)-(μ1-μ2)/sqrt[{1/n1+1/n2}*{((n1-1)s1²+(n2-1)s2²)/n1+n2-2}

t=63.3-70.2/sqrt[{1/11+1/13}*{((11-1)3.7²+(13-1)6.6²)/11+13-2}

t=-6.9/sqrt[{0.091+0.077}{136.9+522.72/22}]

t=-3.076

c. α=0.05, df=22

t(0.05,22)=-1.717

The rejection region is t calculated<t critical value

t<-1.717

We can see that the calculated value of t-statistic falls in rejection region and so we reject the null hypothesis at 5% significance level.

Find the distance between the points (-6,7) and (0,8)
natka813 [3]

We can solve this problem by using the distance formula. The distance formula is: \sqrt{(x_{1}-x)^{2} + (y_{1} - y)^{2}} We can now put in values and solve.


\sqrt{(-6-0)^{2} + (7-8)^{2}}


\sqrt{36 + 1}


\sqrt{37}
