parts of 10% soln, x

parts of 25% soln, y

total soln, x+y =30

{x(0.1) + y(0.25)}/(x + y) = 0.12...eqn 1

x + y = 30...eqn 2

from eqn 2...=》 x = 30-y

subst for x in eqn 1...

=》 {(30-y)(0.1) + y(0.25)}/ 30-y+y = 0.12

=》 (3-.1y+.25y)/30 =0.12

=》 3+.15y = 3.6

=》 .15y = .6

=》 y =4

using x = 30 - y = 26

ans

26ml of 10% soln

4ml of 25% soln

masya89 [10]

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

75 (total amount of people that run) minus 40 (amount of people that lift weights and run) equals 35 (amount of people that run but don't lift weights)

120 (total amount of people surveyed) minus 65 (total amount of people that lift weights) equals 55 (total amount of people that do not lift weights)

55 (total amount of people that do not lift weights) minus 35 (total amount of people that run but don't lift weights) equals 25 (total amount of people that don't run or lift weights.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

b. strong; negative

Step-by-step explanation:

When a correlation has a value greater than 0.74 or lesser than -0.70, it is classified as a strong correlation.

A negative value for a correlation means a negative (downhill) linear correlation.

Therefore, since the correlation coefficient found by Frank Fitness is -0.74, there is a strong and negative relationship between hours of strenuous exercise and body mass.
