Answer:

The price of the computer is $1,152

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the computer be $x

The first boy boy had 7/8 of this amount, the amount he has is thus 7/8 × $x = 7x/8

The second boy had 5/6 of what the first boy had. The amount of money he has is thus 5/6 × 7x/8 = 35x/48

Now, the addition of what they have is $696 more than what they need to pay. This amount is x+ 696

Mathematically, this can be represented as;

7x/8 + 35x/48 = x + 696

(42x + 35x)/48 = (x + 696)

77x/48 = (x + 696)

77x = 48(x + 696)

77x = 48x + 33408

77x - 48x = 33408

29x = 33, 408

x = 33,408/29

x = $1,152

It is believed that 44% of all Americans eat breakfast every day. For a class project, you randomly select Clemson students and
GaryK [48]

Answer:

For this case we want to conduct a test in order to see if the proportion of Clemson students who eat breakfast is different from 0.44 (alternative hypothesis). And the complement would represent the null hypothesis, and the system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null Hypothesis: p =0.44

Alternative hypothesis: p \neq 0.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to conduct a test in order to see if the proportion of Clemson students who eat breakfast is different from 0.44 (alternative hypothesis). And the complement would represent the null hypothesis, and the system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null Hypothesis: p =0.44

Alternative hypothesis: p \neq 0.44

Show work please.<br><br> solve system of equations using matrices.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

(t, t -1, t)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have three unknowns but only 2 equations, so you can't really SOLVE this...you can get a solution with a variable still in it (I forget what this is called.  I think it refers to infinite many solutions).  Here's how it works:

Set up your matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&-2&1\\2&-1&-1\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2\\1\\\end{array}\right]

You want to change the number in position 21 (the 2 in the scond row) to a 0 so you have y and z left.  Do this by multiplying the top row by -2 then adding it to the second row to get that 2 to become a 0.  Multiplying in a -2 to the top row gives you:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&4&-2\\2&-1&-1\\\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4\\1\\\end{array}\right]

Then add, keeping the first row the same and changing the second to reflect the addition:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&4&-2\\0&3&-3\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4\\-3\\\end{array}\right]

The second equation is this now:

3y - 3z = -3.  Solving for y gives you y = z - 1.  Let's let z = t (some random real number that will make the system true.  Any number will work.  I'll show you at the end.  Just bear with me...)

lf z = t, and if y = z - 1, then y = t - 1.  So far we have that y = t - 1 and z = t.  Now we solve for x:

From the first equation in the original system,

x - 2y + z = 2.  Subbing in t - 1 for y and t for z:

x - 2(t - 1) + t = 2.  Simplify to get

x - 2t + 2 + t = 2  and  x - t = 0, and x = t.  So the solution set is (t, t - 1, t).  Picking a random value for t of, let's say 2, sub that in and make sure it works.  If:

x - 2y + z = 2, then t - 2(t - 1) + t = 2 becomes t - 2t + 2 + t = 2, and with t = 2, 2 - 2(2) + 2 + 2 = 2.    Check it:  2 - 4 + 4 = 2 and 2 = 2.  You could pick any value for t and it will work.

(7x10*5)x(3x10*2) in standerd form
marishachu [46]

Answer:

21,000

Step-by-step explanation:

This is more of straightforward multiplication, so I cannot explain much! If you want me to try to do more, then just comment.

(7 * 10 * 5) * (3 * 10 * 2)

= (70 * 5) * (30 * 2)

= (350) * (60)

= 21,000

Thusly, in standard form, the equation given is \boxed{21,000}.

Hope this helps! (:
