A merchant mixed 10 lb of a cinnamon tea with 2 lb of spice tea. The 12-pound mixture cost $13. A second mixture included 16 lb of the cinnamon tea and 8 lb of the spice tea. The 24-pound mixture cost $28. Find the cost per pound of the cinnamon tea and of the spice tea.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say c is the price of cinnamon tea, and s is the price of spice tea.

10c + 2s = 13

16c + 8s = 28

Divide the second equation by 4:

4c + 2s = 7

Subtract from the first equation:

6c = 6

c = 1

Use any equation to find s.

s = 1.5

Therefore, the cinnamon tea costs $1 per pound and the spice tea costs $1.50 per pound.

The Math 123 book includes about 230 pages (not including the back parts of the book). If you aim to complete 65% of all the pages, how many should you finish?

Answers

Answer:

149.5 pages excluding the back parts

150.8 pages including the back parts

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pages in Math 123 book = 230 pages

You aim to complete 65% of all the pages, how many should you finish

65 % of 230 pages

= 65 / 100 × 230 pages

= 0.65 × 230 pages

= 149.5 pages excluding the bark parts of the book

If you include the back parts, that is, the beginning and ending page

You have a total of 230 pages + 2 pages

= 232 pages

65 % of 232 pages

= 65 / 100 × 232 pages

= 0.65 × 232 pages

= 150.8 pages including the back parts

If Ben invests $3000 at 4% interest per year, how much additional money must he invest at 5.5 % annual interest to ensure that the interest he receives each year is 4.5 % of the total amount invested?

Answers

Answer:

$1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Investment 1 = $3000Interest 1 = 4%Investment 2 = xInterest 2 = 5.5%Total interest = 4.5%

Total interest:

3000*0.04 + x*0.055 = (3000+ x)*0.045    ⇒ multiply by 100 both sides3000*4 + 5.5x = 3000*4.5 + 4.5x                ⇒ parenthesis5.5x - 4.5x = 3000(4.5-4)                             ⇒ collect like termsx = 3000*0.5                                                ⇒ simplifyx = 1500                                                        ⇒ answer

2. Graph the inequality.
y<- 3x-2

Answers

Answer:

(2,-8)  (0,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b
M= slope
B= y-intercept

-2 is the y-intercept (0,-2), plot those coordinates

-3x is the slope
- slope is -3/1
- top number depicts if you go up or down, (-) go down and (+) go up
- the bottom number you go to the right

So, from (0,-2) go down three and to the right one

How do you do both questions?

Answers

1. We have all the information we need here to set up our 'least-squares regression equation.'

Given: r = 0.68, x = 260, y = 70, s₁ = 33, s₂ = 6, remember that the general equation for our least-squares line is in the form y = a + bx. The slope of the regression equation is the linear correlation coefficient multiplied by the standard deviation for x:

b = r(s₂ / s₁) = 0.68(6 / 33) = 0.12363...

Remember that the constant of the regression equation is the mean of y decreased by the product of the slope and the mean of x:

a = y - bx = 70 -  0.12363(260) = 37.8562

The equation of the least-squares regression line would then be y = 37.8562 + 0.12363x. We know that the Jane's previous score was 279, so if we plug that into our equation as 'x' we will receive Jane's final score. The set up will be y = 37.8562 + 0.12363(279) = 72.34897. Your solution for the first part is absolutely correct!

2. Actually the values of 'y' could have been much larger. r^2 = 0.4624, thus the proportion of y explained by x is only about 46%. It would negatively affect her final course grade.

[tex] \sqrt{2k ^{2} + 17 } - x = 0[/tex]

If k>0 and x=7 in the equation, what is the value of k?​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]k=4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

[tex]\sqrt{2k^2+17}-x=0[/tex]

Where:

[tex]k>0\text{ and } x=7[/tex]

And we want to find k.

Firstly, let's substitute 7 for x. So:

[tex]\sqrt{2k^2+17}-7=0[/tex]

Now, we can solve for k. Add 7 to both sides:

[tex]\sqrt{2k^2+17}=7[/tex]

Square both sides:

[tex]2k^2+17=49[/tex]

Subtract 17 from both sides:

[tex]2k^2=32[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2:

[tex]k^2=16[/tex]

Take the square root of both sides:

[tex]k=\pm\sqrt{16}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]k=\pm 4[/tex]

Remember that we are told k>0. In other words, k must be positive. So, we can ignore the negative answer, giving us:

[tex]k=4[/tex]

So, the value of k is 4.

And we're done!

First arrange the data in an order

3, 3, 3, 7, 7, 10, 10, 12, 12, 13, 14, 17, 17, 18, 21

a.) Q1 = (N + 1)/4th item = (15 + 1)/4 = 4th item = 7

Q2 = 2(16)/4 = 16/2 = 8th item = 12

Q3 = 3(16)/4 = 3(4) = 12th item = 17

IQR = (Q3 - Q1)/2 = (17 - 7)/2 = 10/2 = 5

b.) 82nd percentile = 82(16)/100 = 13th item = 17

c.) 12 is the 8th item which is in the middle of the data set, so the percentile rank is 50%
