A publisher needs to send many books to a local book retailer and will send the books in a combination of small and large boxes.

Each small box can hold 30 books and each large box can hold 55 books. There were 2 more large boxes sent than small boxes, which altogether can hold 280 books. Determine the number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent.

Answer:

2 small boxes sent and 4 large boxes sent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of small boxes be S and the number of large boxes by L

Given that there were 2 more large boxes sent than small boxes, then

L = S + 2

Also given that each small box can hold 30 books and each large box can hold 55 books and altogether can hold 280 books.

30S + 55L = 280

Solve both equations simultaneously

30S + 55(S + 2) = 280

85S + 110 = 280

85S = 280 - 110

85S = 170

S = 170/85

S = 2

Since L = S + 2

L = 2 + 2 = 4

The number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent are 2 and 4 respectively.

Answer:

4 large boxes and 2 small boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

4 X 55 =220 books

2 X 30 =  60 books

Total =   280 books

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

F = \frac{MSR}{MSE} =\frac{45.89}{6.27}=7.32

So then the best option is:

a. 7.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) "is used to analyze the differences among group means in a sample".  

The sum of squares "is the sum of the square of variation, where variation is defined as the spread between each individual value and the grand mean"  

If we assume that we have 3 groups and on each group from j=1,\dots,10 we have 10 individuals on each group we can define the following formulas of variation:  

SS_{total}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x)^2  

SS_{between=Treatment}=SS_{model}=\sum_{j=1}^p n_j (\bar x_{j}-\bar x)^2  

SS_{within}=SS_{error}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x_j)^2  

And we have this property  

SST=SS_{between}+SS_{within}

Where SST represent the total sum of squares.  

The degrees of freedom for the numerator on this case is given by df_{num}=k-1=3-1=2 where k =3 represent the number of groups.  

The degrees of freedom for the denominator on this case is given by df_{den}=df_{between}=N-K=30-3=27.  

And the total degrees of freedom would be df=N-1=30 -1 =29  

From the info given we know that MSR=\frac{SSR}{2}=45.89

And MSE=\frac{SSE}{27}=6.27

From definition the F statisitc is defined as:

F = \frac{MSR}{MSE} =\frac{45.89}{6.27}=7.32

So then the best option is:

a. 7.32

Which expression represents the calculation “subtract 10 from 36, then divide by 6”
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

(36 - 10) (divide sign) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Walk through the problem:

"subtract 10 from 36." = "take ten away from 36." = "36 - 10."

"then divide by 6." = "Divide 36 - 10 by 6." = "(36 - 10) divided by 6."
