One rose is 50 cents, so 2 roses cost $1 ( 50 cents x 2).

2 roses per dollar x 20 dollars = 40 total roses sold.


When they sell $20 dollars they make $6, so that means they pay 20-6 = $14 dollars for the 40 roses.


$14 / 40 roses = 0.35 per rose.

She pays 35 cents per rose.

Times for an ambulance to respond to a medical emergency in a certain town are normally distributed with a mean of 400 seconds a
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the normal distribution curve, the mean is in the middle and each line to the left and to the right of that mean represent 1- and 1+ the standard deviation.  If our mean is 400, then 400 + 50 = 450; 450 + 50 = 500; 500 + 50 = 550.  Going from the mean to the left, we subtract the standard deviation and 400 - 50 = 350; 350 - 50 = 300; 300 - 50 = 250.  We are interested in the range that falls between 350 and 450 as a percentage.  That range represents the two middle sections, each containing 34% of the data.  So the total percentage of response times is 68%.  We are looking then for 68% of the 144 emergency response times in town.  .68(144) = 97.92 or 98 emergencies that have response times of between 350 and 450 seconds.

A mirror is made of two congruent parallelograms as shown in the diagram. The parallelograms have a combined area of 9 1/3 squar
Vika [28.1K]
Given:
2 parallelograms with an area of 9 1/3 yd²
height of each parallelogram is 1 1/3 yd

Area of parallelogram = base * height

We need to divide the combined area into two to get each parallelogram's base.

9 1/3 = ((9*3)+1)/3 = 28/3

28/3 ÷ 2 = 28/3 * 1/2 = 28/6 yd² or 4 4/6 yd² ⇒ 4 2/3 yd²

Area of each parallelogram is 4 2/3 yd²

4 2/3 yd² = base * 1 1/3 yd

14/3 yd² ÷ 4/3 yd = base

14/3 yd² x 3/4 yd = base
14*3 / 3*4 = base
42 / 12 = base
3 6/12 yd = base
or 3 1/2 yd = base

a) the base of each parallelogram is 3 1/2 yards
b) we can assume that the two parallelograms form a rectangle.
area of a rectangle is length times width.

length is 3 1/2 yds * 2 = 7 yds
width is 3 1/2 yds

Area of rectangle = 7 yds * 3 1/2 yds
Area = 7 yd * 7/2 yd
Area = 7*7 / 2 yd²
Area = 49 / 2 yd²
Area = 24 1/2 yd²

Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and
ser-zykov [4K]
For this case we have the following equation:
 7x - 10y = 3

 From here, we must substitute ordered pairs of the form:
 (x, y)
 If the ordered pair satisfies the equation, then it belongs to the line.
 We have then:

 For (8, 5):
 
We substitute the following values:
 x = 8

y = 5

7 (8) - 10 (5) = 3

56 - 50 = 3

6 = 3
 We observe that the equation is not satisfied and therefore, this point does not belong to the line.
 Since one of the points does not belong to the line, then the equation is not a good model.

 Answer:
 
It is not a good model. One of the points does not belong to the line.

Masja [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 20

Start at (0, 20).

Then plot a point at (1, 25).

The line should be going through points (2, 30), (3, 35), (4, 40), (5, 45), etc.

For every time the x number goes up, the y number goes up 5 times for the 5%.

5.44 Teaching descriptive statistics: A study compared five different methods for teaching descriptive statistics. The five meth
maria [59]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis (H0) tries to show that no significant variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean. While an alternative Hypothesis (Ha) attempt to prove that a new theory is true rather than the old one. That a variable is significantly different from the mean.

For the case above, let μ represent the average test scores for the teaching methods:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)
