Answer:

The number of boxes of candy sold are:

40 small boxes and

12 large boxes of candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of small boxes sold = x

Let the number of large boxes sold = y

we are given the following information:

x + y = 52 - - - - - -(1)   (Chara sold 52 boxes of candy)

3.5(y) + 1.75(x) = 112 - - - - - - (2)   (Chara sold $112 worth of candy)

From the two equations above, x and y can be solved as follows:

x + y = 52   - - - - - -(1)

x = 52 - y    - - - - - - (3)

putting the value if x in equation (3) to replace x in equation (2);

3.5(y) + 1.75(x) = 112 - - - - - - (2)

3.5(y) + 1.75(52 - y) = 112

3.5y + 91 - 1.75y = 112

(3.5y - 1.75y) + 91 = 112

1.75y = 112 - 91 = 21

y = 21 ÷ 1.75 = 12

y = 12

Now, let us put the value of y into equation (3)

x = 52 - y    - - - - - - (3)

x = 52 - 12 = 40

Therefore,

40 small boxes and 12 large boxes of candy were sold.

A population of size 320 has a proportion equal to .60 for the characteristic of interest. What are the mean and the standard de
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The answer is c.) 0.6 and 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given population has a size of 320.

The proportion of population = 0.6

The mean of population, p = 0.6

The mean of sample, \hat{p}= 0.6

Therefore \hat{q}  = 1 - \hat{p} = 1 - 0.6  = 0.4

The sample size  = 12

Therefore the standard deviation of the sample,

s = \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1 - \hat{p})}{n} }  = \sqrt{\frac{0.6 \times 0.4}{12} }  = 0.1414

The mean and the standard deviation for a sample size of 12 are 0.6 and 0.14 respectively.

The answer is c.) 0.6 and 0.14

Must show all work for 15 points
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Hey there!

a)

10x-1=4x+2

6x-1=2

6x=3

x=1/2 cm.

10x-1=4 cm.

So the width of the rectangle is 10/4, or 2.5 cm.

b)

l=3w

2l+2w=24

2(3w)+2w=24

6w+2w=24

8w=24

w=3

l=9

The are is 27 units squared.

Let me know if this helps :)
