Do you mean no repeating numbers within the two sets? Because if so, I don't think it's possible.

I started by trying to figure out what the numbers in the tenths place should be. I used subtraction: 71 - ___ = ____. If you try it out, you can't subtract anything with a 6, 7, 8, or 9 in the tenths place because it will leave you with 11 (a repeating digit number), 10 (has a 0), or less (1-digit numbers). Also, a 3 cannot go into the tenths place because when you do 71 - 3_ , your answer will always begin with a 3 (problem because the 3 repeats), or it will contain a 0. 

Therefore, the numbers left for the tenths place are: 1, 2, 4, and 5. 1 and 5 pair up, leaving 4 and 2.
71 - 5_ = 1_   and 71 - 4_ = 2_.

Then, I tried to figure out what numbers go in the ones place. That lead me to realize they act in pairs. The pairs possible in the ones place are 2 and 9, 3 and 8, 4 and 7, 5 and 6. These numbers always go together to result with the final "1" in the "71". Using this information, I looked at the numbers I already used: 1, 2, 4, and 5. Now, looking at the pairs, I eliminated the pairs containing a number already used. This leaves me with only one pair: 3 and 8. Obviously, you need two more pairs to solve the problem, which leads me to my point of saying: This problem is impossible to solve.

I really hope someone can prove me wrong! But this is the solution I have reached for now. :)

Answer:

Stratified Sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Keri divides the day into different strata and each unit is selected from each strata randomly. So, it is Stratified Sampling.

Further, In Stratified Sampling population is divided into several groups such that within the group it is homogeneous and between the group it is heterogeneous. And now a selection of each stratum and unit has an equal chance of selection.

The equation y = 7x+25 gives the number of minutes it takes to prepare a meal y given the number of people being served x. Which
klemol [59]

<u>Answer-</u> C. For every extra person served, the time it takes to prepare a meal increases by 7  minutes.

<u>Solution- </u>

<em>y = 7x+25</em>

Where y = the number of minutes it takes to prepare a meal

           x = the number of people being served.

If the number of persons increased by one, so x' = (x+1)

Then y' = 7x' + 25 = 7(x+1) + 25 = 7x + 7 + 25 = 7x + 25 + 7 = y + 7

∴ As y gets increased by 7 for every 1 more person , so C is the correct answer.
