Hugh bought some magazines that cost $3.95 each and some books that cost $8.95 each. He spent a total of $47.65. If Hugh bought

3 magazines, how many books did he buy?
The equation that models the problem is 3.95m + 8.95b = 47.65, where m is the number of magazines and b is the number of books.

Answer:

4 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Our problem here is:

$(3.95)3+8.95b=47.65$

So we have to find B, and that will be our answer (the number of books).

1. Simplify the expression

$3.95\cdot 3+8.95x=47.65$

Combine like terms:

$11.85+8.95x=47.65$

2. Group all constants on the right side of the equation

$11.85+8.95x=47.65$

Subtract from both sides:

$11.85+8.95x-11.85=47.65-11.85$

Group like terms:

$8.95x+11.85-11.85=47.65-11.85$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$8.95x=47.65-11.85$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$8.95x=35.8$

3. Isolate the x

$8.95x=35.8$

Divide both sides by 8.95:

$\frac{8.95x}{8.95}=\frac{35.8}{8.95}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$x=\frac{35.8}{8.95}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$x=4$

<h2>Hence, the number of books is 4</h2>

Unoccupied seats on flights cause airlines to lose revenue. Suppose a large airline wants to estimate its average number of unoc

Bingel [31]

Answer:

We need a sample size of at least 719

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.025 = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How large a sample size is required to vary population mean within 0.30 seat of the sample mean with 95% confidence interval?

This is at least n, in which n is found when $M = 0.3, \sigma = 4.103$ . So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.3 = 1.96*\frac{4.103}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.3\sqrt{n} = 1.96*4.103$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*4.103}{0.3}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*4.103}{0.3})^{2}$

$n = 718.57$

We need a sample size of at least 719

State whether the given measurements determine zero, one, or two triangles.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

One

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the value of B

Applying the law of sines

$\frac{a}{sin(A)}$ = $\frac{b}{sin(B)}$

substitute the given values

$\frac{23}{sin(61)}$ = $\frac{24}{sin(B)}$

sin (B) = $\frac{24}{23}$ Sin(61)

step 2

Find the measure of angle C

Remember that the sum of the interior angles in any triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

61 + 65.87 + C = 180

C = 53.13

step 3

Find the value of c

Applying the law of sines

$\frac{a}{sin(A)}$ = $\frac{c}{sin(C)}$

substitute the given values

$\frac{23}{sin(61)}$ = $\frac{c}{sin(53.13)}$

c = $\frac{23}{sin(61)}$ SIN (53.13)

C=21.04 units

so

there can only be one value for each measurement, therefore there can only be one triangle
