The glee club has $90 to spend on pens and pencils. Each pen costs $0.75 and each pencil costs $0.15. Let x represent the number

of pens, and let y represent the number of pencils.
Part A
Select the equation that describes the number of club pens and pencils that the glee club can buy.

A. 0.15x + 0.75y = 90
B. 0.75x + 0.15y = 90
C. 0.90(x + y) = 90
Part B
What is the greatest number of each type of writing tool that the club can buy?

greatest number of pens = ?

greatest number of pencils = ?

Answer:

part A; B and Part B; pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to find out how many pens and pencils you cn buy with that 90$ so you want to do

.75y+.15x=90

pens=50

pencils=50

but you want to add .75+.15 which = .90

then you divide 90/.90

and that equals 100

then split it up and each gets 50

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that total amount available is 90$

x represent the number of pens, and y represent the number of pencils.

cost of each pen is 0.75 and cost of each pencil is 0.15

Then we have total cost = cost of pens + cost of pencils

= $0.75x+0.15y$ =90

Hence option B is right

For finding out the greatest number of each type of writing tool, we can make the other 0 and find out

Hence maximum x = $\frac{90}{0.75} =120$

maximum y = $\frac{90}{0.15} \\=600$

Nookie1986 [14]

IN finding the interest we need to use the following formula:
Interest= Principal x Rate x Time or I= PRT
Substitute values: I= [$20 + ($10 x $34)] -320 =$40
P= $320
R=?
T=10 months/year
I=PRT
Since R is a missing term, we will solve for R using this formula: R=I/PT
R= [<span>$20 + ($10 x $34)-320] / ($320 x 10 months)
T=10 months</span>÷12 months=0.83<span>
R= ($40)/ $320 X 0.83
R= 40/ 265.6
R=15.06024096</span>

a rectangular piece of paper 71 cm long and 10m wide . a cylinder is formed by rolling the paper along its length , find volume

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Volume=355 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume it should be 10 cm, not 10 m. If it is 10 m, everything will have to be adjusted.

Circumference = 2 $\pi$ r

10=2 $\pi$ r

10÷2 $\pi$ =r

1.59=r

V= $\pi$ r²h

V= $\pi$ (1.59)(71)

v=355

To plan the budget for next year a college must update its estimate of the proportion of next year's freshmen class that will ne

Naily [24]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.35$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.35$

$z=\frac{0.447 -0.35}{\sqrt{\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{150}}}=2.491$

$p_v =P(z>2.491)=0.0064$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of applicants who request financial aid is significantly higher than 0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=150 represent the random sample taken

X=67 represent the applicants who request financial aid

$\hat p=\frac{67}{150}=0.447$ estimated proportion of applicants who request financial aid

$p_o=0.35$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of applicants who request financial aid is higher than 0.35.:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.35$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.35$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.447 -0.35}{\sqrt{\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{150}}}=2.491$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>2.491)=0.0064$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level assumed $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of applicants who request financial aid is significantly higher than 0.35
