In order to solve for this, let's start by assigning two variables.

'p' will represent the price of popcorn? and 'c' will represent the price of a cookie.

Now that we have these two variables, we can use the given statements to make two equations:

p + 2c = 500 ("Julia...bought one jumbo popcorn and two chocolate chip cookies for $5.00")
p + 4c = 600 ("Marvin went to the same movie and bought one jumbo popcorn and four chocolate chip cookies for $6.00")

In order to solve for the variables, we can use the subtraction method.

p + 2c = 500
-p - 4c = -600
___________
-2c = -100

Divide both sides by -2:
c = 50

Now that we know that a cookie costs 50 cents, we can input it into one of our equations to solve for the price of popcorn:

p + 2(50) = 500
p + 100 = 500
p = 400

Jumbo popcorn costs $4.00, and cookies cost $0.50.

Good luck! If you need me to explain anything in more detail, just ask :))

Does anyone know how to do these maths question???

Answer:

Part 1) f(g(x))=3(x^2)+2

Part 2) g(f(5))=289

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A composite function is a function that depends on another function. A composite function is created when one function is substituted into another function

we have

f(x)=3x+2

g(x)=x^{2}

Part 1) Determine f(g(x))

To find f(g(x)) substitute the function g(x) as the variable in function f(x)

so

f(g(x))=3(x^2)+2

Part 2) Determine g(f(x))

To find g(f(x)) substitute the function f(x) as the variable in function g(x)

so

g(f(x))=(3x+2)^2

For x=5

g(f(5))=(3(5)+2)^2

g(f(5))=289

In the book Essentials of Marketing Research, William R. Dillon, Thomas J. Madden, and Neil H. Firtle discuss a research proposa
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500  

p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617  

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

X_{1}=25 represent the number of homeowners who would buy the security system

X_{2}=9 represent the number of renters who would buy the security system

n_{1}=140 sample 1

n_{2}=60 sample 2

p_{1}=\frac{25}{140}=0.179 represent the proportion of homeowners who would buy the security system

p_{2}=\frac{9}{60}= 0.15 represent the proportion of renters who would buy the security system

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)  

Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the two proportions differs , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{1} = p_{2}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{1} \neq p_{2}  

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}   (1)  

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{25+9}{140+60}=0.17  

Calculate the statistic  

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:  

z=\frac{0.179-0.15}{\sqrt{0.17(1-0.17)(\frac{1}{140}+\frac{1}{60})}}=0.500  

Statistical decision

For this case we don't have a significance level provided \alpha, but we can calculate the p value for this test.    

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(Z>0.500)=0.617  

So the p value is a very low value and using any significance level for example \alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15 always p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the two proportions NOT differs significantly.

Which ordered pair would form a proportional relationship with the point graphed below? (60,-20)
valentina_108 [34]

Given:

The graphed point is (60,-20).

To find:

The ordered pair that would form a proportional relationship with the given point.

Solution:

If y is proportional to x, then

y\propto x

y=kx

\dfrac{y}{x}=k

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

For the given point,

k=\dfrac{-20}{60}

k=\dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (A),

k=\dfrac{30}{-10}

k=-3\neq \dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (B),

k=\dfrac{-15}{30}

k=-\dfrac{1}{2}\neq \dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (C),

k=\dfrac{10}{-30}

k=\dfrac{-1}{3}.

The point (-30,10) gives the same value of the constant of proportionality. So, the point (-30,10) forms a proportional relationship with the given point.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

the square of a certain whole number n is n^2. if 60 is a factor of n^2, it's possible that ? is not a factor of n^2. a)16 b)25
DanielleElmas [232]
If 60 is a factor of n², then √60 is a factor of n. However, n is a whole number, so its factors are whole numbers.

Simplify √60:
\sqrt{60}=\sqrt{4 \times 15}=2\sqrt{15}

If 2√15 is a factor of a whole number n, then √15 must be another factor to make it a whole number.

2\sqrt{15} \times \sqrt{15}=2 \times 15=2 \times 3 \times 5

If 60 is a factor of n², then 2, 3, and 5 must be factors of n. The factors of n² are the squares of the factors of n, so 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 5 must be factors of n².

Now, if 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, and 5 are factors of n², then:
* 5×5=25 must also be its factor
* 2×2×3×3=36 must also be its factor
* 2×2×5×5=100 must also be its factor

Only 16 may not be a factor of n². The answer is A.

svet-max [94.6K]

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 7x + 12

Finding factors of 12

x2 - 4x - 3x + 12

x(x - 4) - 3(x - 4)

(x-4) (x-3) are the factors

Option C is the correct answer
