With the given information, we can create several equations:
120 = 12x + 2y
150 = 10x + 10y
With x being the number of rose bushes, and y being the number of gardenias.
To find the values of the variables, we can use two methods: Substitution or Elimination
For this case, let us use elimination. To begin, let's be clear that we are going to be adding these equations together. Therefore, in order to get the value of one variable, we must cancel one of them out - it could be x or y, it doesn't matter which one you decide to cancel out. Let's cancel the x out:
We first need to multiply the equations by numbers that would cause the x's to cancel out - and this can be done as follows:
-10(120 = 12x + 2y)
12(150 = 10x + 10y) => Notice how one of these is negative
Multiply out:
-1200 = -120x - 20y
+ 1800 = 120x + 120y => Add these two equations together
---------------------------------
600 = 100y
Now we can solve for y:
y = 6
With this value of y known, we can then pick an equation from the beginning of the question, and plug y in to solve for x:
120 = 12x + 2y => 120 = 12x + 2(6)
Now we can solve for x:
120 = 12x + 12 => 108 = 12x
x = 9
So now we know that x = 9, and y = 6.
With rose bushes being x, we now know that the cost of 1 rose bush is $9.
With gardenias being y, we now know that the cost of 1 gardenia is $6.
Answer:
0.0087 probability that a freshman non-Statistics major and then a junior Statistics major are chosen at random
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
What is the probability that a freshman non-Statistics major and then a junior Statistics major are chosen at random?
There are 5 freshman non-Statistics majors out of 102 students.
Then, there will be 18 junior statistics majors out of 101 students(1 will have already been chosen). So

0.0087 probability that a freshman non-Statistics major and then a junior Statistics major are chosen at random
Answer:
Option C) 113.0 feet squared
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Radius of circular garden = 4 feet
Length of path around garden = 2 feet
We have to find the total area of garden and path.
The garden and path together makes a bigger circle with radius

Area of garden and path =

Putting values, we get,

Thus, the correct answer is
Option C) 113.0 feet squared
Answer:
1,082
Step-by-step explanation:
The sample size n in Simple Random Sampling is given by

where
z = 1.645 is the critical value for a 90% confidence level (*)
s = 2 is the estimated population standard deviation
e = 0.1 mm points is the margin of error
so

rounded up to the nearest integer.
So the manufacturer should test 1,083 parts.
