Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Price of

Hotdogs = x

Sodas = y

Candy bar = z

Smith family

Hotdogs = 3

Sodas = 2

Candy bar = 1

Total cost = $16.50

3x + 2y + z = 16.50

Patterson family

Hotdogs = 4

Sodas = 4

Candy bar = 2

Total = $26

4x + 4y + 2z = 26

Nguyen family

Hotdogs = 2

Sodas = 1

Candy bar = 3

Total cost = $13.75

2x + y + 3z = 13.75

The equations

3x + 2y + z = 16.50 (1)

4x + 4y + 2z = 26 (2)

2x + y + 3z = 13.75 (3)

Multiply (1) by -2

-2(3x + 2y + z = 16.50)

-6x - 4y - 2z = -33

-6x - 4y - 2z = -33 (1a)

4x + 4y + 2z = 26 (2)

Add (1a) and (2)

-6x + 4x = -33 + 26

- 2x = -7

x = -7/-2

= 3.5

x = $3.5

Multiply (3) by -4

-4(2x + y + 3z = 13.75) (3)

-8x - 4y - 12z = -55 (3a)

Add (3a) and (2)

-8x - 4y - 12z = -55 (3a)

4x + 4y + 2z = 26 (2)

-8x + 4x -12z + 2z = -55 + 36

-4x - 10z = -29

Substitute the value of x into

-4x - 10z = -29

-4(3.5) - 10z = -29

-14 - 10z = -29

-10z = -29 + 14

-10z = - 15

z = -15 / - 10

= 1.5

z = $1.5

Substitute values of x and z into (1)

3x + 2y + z = 16.50

3(3.5) + 2y + 1.5 = 16.50

10.5 + 2y + 1.5 = 16.50

12 + 2y = 16.50

2y = 16.50 - 12

2y = 4.50

y = 4.50 / 2

y = $2.25

Answer:

The speed of the boat in still water u = 8 \frac{mi}{hr}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of the boat = u \frac{mi}{hr}

Speed of the current = v \frac{mi}{hr} = 4 \frac{mi}{hr}

Given that the first boat to travel 3 miles upstream and back in a total 1 hour.

So

\frac{3}{u - v} + \frac{3}{u + v}  = 1

\frac{6 u}{u^{2} - v^{2}  } = 1

u^{2} - v^{2} - 6 u = 0

Since v = 4

u^{2} - 6 u - 16 = 0

By solving above equation

u^{2} + 2 u - 8 u - 16 = 0

u (u + 2) - 8 (u + 2) = 0

(u - 8)(u +2) = 0

u = 8 , - 2

Since u = -2 is not valid.

⇒ u = 8 \frac{mi}{hr}

This is the speed of the boat in still water.

Two pennies, a nickel, and a dime are placed in a cup. You draw a first coin and then a second coin.
QveST [7]

Answer:

a) {P1P2, P1N, P1D,P2P1, P2N,P2D,NP1,NP2,ND,DP1,DP2,DN}  

PP=2/12 NP=4/12 DP=4/12 DN=2/12                                                                                                        

b) 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call pennies by P1 and P2.

a)There are 12 possible outcomes as it is written above.

b)In order to have 11 cents we need a penny and the dime. There are 4 such possibilities (events). The total number is 12. So the probability is 4/12.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

A reporter collects a random sample of 50 runners from all the runners who finished the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run in 2009 and constructs a 99% confidence interval for the true mean finish time to be (86.05, 99.38) minutes.

Assuming the reporter performed the calculations correctly, which of the following statements are appropriate interpretations of this confidence interval?

We can expect that 99% of confidence intervals created using the same method the reporter used will contain the true mean run time for runners of this race.
