Using a system of equations, it is found that the blend contains 0.25 pounds of the Colombian blend and 0.75 pounds of the Jamaican blend.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are given by:

  • Variable x: Amount of the Colombian blend.
  • Variable y: Amount of the Jamaican blend.

A customer pays $18.85 for 3 pounds of a blend, hence:

x + y = 3 -> y = 3 - x

5x + 6.4y = 18.85

Since y = 3 - x:

5x + 6.4(3 - x) = 18.85

1.4x = 0.35

x = 0.35/1.4

x = 0.25

y = 3 - x = 3 - 0.25 = 2.75.

0.25 pounds of the Colombian blend and 0.75 pounds of the Jamaican blend.

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

a) reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternative hypotheses:

H0: the relative risk for moderate beer drinkers as compared to nondrinkers = 1

Ha: the relative risk for moderate beer drinkers as compared to nondrinkers ≠ 1

The level of significance, α = 0.1

Since the confidence interval for the relative risk of hypertension in moderate beer drinkers as compared to nondrinkers (0.47 to 0.90) does not contain the relative risk of 1,  the null hypothesis will be rejected at the specified level of significance, 0.1. Therefore, the conclusion is to reject H0.

Trava [24]
<span>In mathematics, volume is the amount of space occupied by an object measured in three dimensions, expressed in cubic units. It is simply the product of the area of the base times the height. We do as follows:

Volume = 1360 = Ah
1360 = 160h
h = 8.5 ft</span>
