Answer:

10\ highlighters\\8\ gel\ pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of highlighters

y-----> the number of gel pens

we know that

x+y=18 ------> equation A

3x+2.5y=50 ------> equation B  

The intersection point both graphs is the solution of the system of equations

using a graphing tool

The intersection point is (10,8)

see the attached figure

therefore

x=10\ highlighters\\y=8\ gel\ pens

Find a base length of a shipping box in the shape of a triangle prism.The shipping box has a volume of 276 cubic feet,a height o
Gala2k [10]
The base length will be found as follows:
volume of the triangular prism is given by:
V=1/2ab×h
where:
10 ft
b=6.9 ft
thus the height will be found as follows:
276=1/2×10×6.9×h
solving for h we get:
h=276/34.5
h=8 ft

A baker bakes 50 muffins. 1/5 of the muffins are chocolate chip. 1/2 of the muffins are blueberry. The rest are cinnamon. How ma
vitfil [10]

Answer:

15 muffins are cinnamon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of muffins baked = 50 muffins

Chocolate chip muffins = 1/5 of 50 = \frac{1}{5}*50

Chocolate chip muffins = 10 muffins

Blueberry muffins = 1/2 of 50 = \frac{1}{2}*50

Blueberry muffins = 25

Cinnamon muffins = Muffins baked - chocolate chip muffins - blueberry muffins

Cinnamon muffins = 50 - 10 - 25

Cinnamon muffins = 50 - 35 = 15

Hence,

15 muffins are cinnamon.

An insurance company has provided you with a sample of paid claims. The sample includes the following claims: 192, 113, 200, 287
Gennadij [26K]

The required value of mean and variance is 203 and 3942 respectively.
Hence option B is correct.

The sample includes the following claims: 192, 113, 200, 287, and 225.

<h3>What is Statistic?</h3>

The statistic is the study of mathematics which deal with relations between comprehensive data.

Mean(x) = 192+113+200+287+225/5
x = 203

variance =\frac{\sum(x-x_i)^2}{n^2-1}

=summation of squared value/n^2−1

=15769/25−1

=15769/24

=3942

Thus, the required value of mean and variance is 203 and 3942 respectively.
