STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem.

Let's first establish the equations we will be using as displayed below:

Let x = fancy shirts

Let y = plain shirts

Equation No. 1 -

x + y = 7

Equation No. 2 -

28x + 15y = 131

To begin with, let's make ( x ) the subject in the first equation as displayed below:

Equation No. 1 -

x + y = 7

x = 7 - y

Now let's substitute the equation for ( x ) from the first equation into the second equation as displayed below:

Equation No. 2 -

28x + 15y = 131

28 ( 7 - y ) + 15y = 131

196 - 28y + 15y = 131

- 28y + 15y = 131 - 196

- 13y = - 65

y = - 65 / - 13

y = 5

From here, let's substitute the value of ( y ) from the second equation into the first equation as displayed below:

Equation No. 1 -

x = 7 - y

x = 7 - ( 5 )

x = 2

ANSWER:

x = 2

y = 5

Therefore, Kecia bought a total of 2 fancy shirts and 5 plain shirts.

Let f(x) = x^2 - 2x. What is the value of f(2)?
Natasha_Volkova [10]
This is stating that, if x was 2, what is the answer to the equation. 
So basically, the equation is 2^2 - 2(2) = ? 
The first step is 2 squared, which is 4, then you subtract 2(2) or 4. So 4-4 is 0. 
The value of f(2) is 0 
A would be correct.

Which of the following conditions will create a biased estimator of a population parameter?.
UkoKoshka [18]

The option that represents the conditions that will create a biased estimator of a population parameter is;

D: The expected value of the estimator is not equal to the population parameter.

<h3>Biased and Unbiased Estimators</h3>

Usually in statistics research, there is what we call population parameters and sampling parameters.

The population parameters represent the full pool from which a sample can be taken while the sample parameters are gotten from the sample taken from the population.

Now, a statistic will be referred to as an unbiased estimator of a population parameter if the mean of the sampling distribution of the statistic is equal to the value of the population parameter.

In contrast to an unbiased estimator, a biased estimator of a population parameter is referred to as such if the mean of the sampling distribution of the statistic is not equal to the value of the population parameter.

The missing options are;

A. The sampling distribution of the estimator is skewed to the left.

B. The sampling distribution of the estimator is skewed to the right.

C. The sampling distribution of the estimator is not the same shape as the distribution of the population parameter.

D. The expected value of the estimator is not equal to the population parameter.

E. The variability of the sampling distribution of the estimator is not equal to the variability of the population parameter.

circle the correct terms for the reaction going from left to right. reactant a gains/loses and electron to become product B
Effectus [21]

The question requires one to indicate the correct terms for the reactant from left to right.

<h3>What is a reactant?</h3>

A reactant is a material that enters and changes during a chemical reaction.

1. Reactant A (Gains/Loses) and electron to become product B

To produce B, reactant A loses one electron. The loss of one electron from an atom causes the atom to be oxidized.

Reactant A gives an electron to NAD+ and is transformed to B+ in the given reaction there is an increase in the positive charge. As a result, reactant A is oxidized to produce B+.

2. NAD+ becomes reduced in the process of the reaction.

NAD+ receives the electron given to it by reactant A and is reduced to NADH. As a result, the positive charge of NAD+ decreases.

3. NADH is more reduced than NAD+

NAD+ receives an electron and becomes NADH. As a result, NADH is decreased more than NAD+

4. NAD+ is in the more oxidized state compared to NADH

NAD+ has a surplus of positive charge as opposed to NADH. NAD+ must receive one electron in order to produce NADH. As a result, as opposed to NADH, NAD+ is more oxidized.

5. Reactant A is the electron donor in this reaction.

Reactant A loses one electron, resulting in positively charged B+. This electron is taken up by NAD+, which reduces to NADH. As a result,  the electron donor is reactant A.

6. Reactant A is the reducing agent in this reaction.

A reducing agent is a molecule that can transfer electrons.

Such a molecule has the potential to decrease another molecule while also becoming oxidized. Reactant A is the reducing agent in the given reaction, donating an electron to NAD+.

Following the electron transfer, reactant A is oxidized to product B+, and NAD+ is reduced to NADH.
