Answer:

Each pumpkin weighs 7.5 pounds.

Each squash weighs 2.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent weight of each pumpkin and y represent weight of each squash.

We have been given three pumpkins and two squash weigh 27.5 pounds. We can represent this information in an equation as:

3x+2y=27.5...(1)

We are also told that four pumpkins and three squash weigh 37.5 pounds. We can represent this information in an equation as:

4x+3y=37.5...(2)

From equation (1), we will get:

y=\frac{27.5-3x}{2}

Substitute this value in equation (2):

4x+3(\frac{27.5-3x}{2})=37.5

4x+1.5(27.5-3x)=37.5

4x+41.25-4.5x=37.5

41.25-0.5x=37.5

41.25-41.25-0.5x=37.5-41.25

-0.5x=-3.75

\frac{-0.5x}{-0.5}=\frac{-3.75}{-0.5}

x=7.5

Therefore, the weight of each pumpkin is 7.5 pounds.

Substitute x=7.5 in equation (1):

3(7.5)+2y=27.5

22.5+2y=27.5

22.5-22.5+2y=27.5-22.5

2y=5

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{5}{2}

y=2.5

Therefore, the weight of each squash is 2.5 pounds.

Question
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The population mean is 5 volts

Step-by-step explanation:

Output voltage is assumed to be normally distributed, with standard deviation 0.25 Volts

s=0.25

n = 8

H_0:\mu = 5\\H_a:\mu \neq 5

Sample mean = \bar{x}=4.85

Since n < 30 and population standard deviation is unknown

So, we will use t test

Formula : t = \frac{x-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{4.85-5}{\frac{0.25}{\sqrt{8}}}

t=-1.69

Refer the t table for p value

Degree of freedom = n-1 = 8-1 = 7

So,t_{(df,\alpha)}=t_{7,0.05}=2.365

P value >α

So, We are failed to reject null hypothesis

Hence The population mean is 5 volts
