Answer:

(a) Weight of a bolt = 12 grms and weight of a nut is 7 gms. Weight of one bolt and one nut = 12 + 7 = 19 gms

(b) 69 gms

(c) 209 gms

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem relates to solution of 2 unknowns using simultaneous equations.

Let B be the weight of a single bolt and N be the weight of a single nut

Since 8 bolts and 6 nuts weigh 138 grams we get one of the equations as

8B + 6N = 138    (1)

The second equation in the unknowns is

3B + 5N = 71  (2)

To solve, we eliminate one of the unknowns by making its coefficients the same and subtracting one from the other

Multiplying (1) by 5 ===>   40B + 30N = 690   (3)

Multiplying (2) by 6 ===>  18B + 30N = 426    (4)

(3) - (4) eliminates the N variables and yields

22B = 264   ==> B = 264/22 ==> B = 12

So the weight of a single bolt is 12 grams

We can find the weight of a single nut by substituting this value of B into any of the equations (1), (2), (3) or (4) and solving for N. Let's use equation (2)

3(12) + 5N = 71 ==>  36 + 5N = 71 ==> 5N = 71-36 = 35 ==>  N= 7

So the weight of a single nut is 7 grams

Weight of one bolt and one nut is the sum of the above individual weights = 12 + 7 = 19 gms

To solve (b) and (c) we could set up two other equations and plug in values for B and N

(b) 4B + 3N = 4.12 + 3.7 = 69
However, an alternate way is to perceive that 4B + 3N is exactly half of 8B + 6N so the value of that must be 138/2 = 69

(c) If we add both equations (1) and (2), we get

11B + 11N = 138 + 71 = 209 which is the equation for the total weight of 11 bolts and 11 nuts

________ is a fundamental difference between the t statistic and a z-score
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

- The Z-score allows you to decide if your sample is different from the population mean. In order to use z, you must know four things:

  • The population mean.
  • The population standard deviation.
  • The sample mean.
  • The sample size.

- Usually in stats, you don’t know anything about a population, so instead of a Z score you use a T-Test with a T Statistic.

- The major difference between using a Z score and a T statistic is that you have to estimate the population standard deviation. The T test is also used if you have a small sample size (less than 30).

Which equation has NO solution? A) 15x + 12 3 = 5x + 4 B) 8 − 4x 10 = 4 + 2x C) 4x − 20 2 = 2x − 10 D) 15x + 5 3 = 5x + 6
jenyasd209 [6]

Assumption:

<em>Something is missing in question. If we see deeply it is apparent that there is some issue with option b i.e. </em><em>B) 8 − 4x 10 = 4 + 2x </em><em>we assume that the questioner want to type </em><em>B) 8-4x^10 = 4 + 2x.</em>

Answer:

The correct answer is <em> </em><em>B) 8-4x^10 = 4 + 2x.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

All equations given is the question can be solve easily to determine the value of x. However if we solve equation mentioned in option b we cannot  get single answer easily.

For example value of x in eq given in option A

15x + 123 = 5x+4

1oX = -119

 X = -119/10

A conditional statement and it's_______ must always have the same truth value.
Romashka [77]
Answer: C) Contrapositive

The original conditional is in the form "If P, then Q"
The contrapositive is in the form "If not Q, then not P"
You flip the order of P and Q, and you also negate each piece. The original conditional and contrapositive can be proven to have the same truth values through the use of a truth table.
