or citizen tickets and 8 student tickets for a total of $156. The school took in $163 on the second day by selling 7 senior citizen tickets and 9 student tickets. Find the price of a senior citizen ticket and the price of a student ticket.

Answer:

Price of a senior citizen ticket is $4 and price of a student ticket is $15 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the price a senior citizen ticket be x .

Let us assume that the price a student citizen ticket be y .

As given

The school that Jack goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance.

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 9 senior citizen tickets and 8 student tickets for a total of $156.

Equtaions becomes

9x + 8y = 156

As given

The school took in $163 on the second day by selling 7 senior citizen tickets and 9 student tickets.

Equations becomes

7x + 9y = 163

Multipy 9x + 8y = 156 by 9 .

81x + 72y = 1404

Multiply 7x + 9y = 163  by 8 .

56x + 72y = 1304

Subtracted 56x + 72y = 1304 from 81x + 72y = 1404 .

81x - 56x + 72y - 72y = 1404 - 1304

25x = 100

x = \frac{100}{25}

x = $ 4

Putting value of x in the 56x + 72y = 1304 .

56 × 4 + 72y = 1304

224 + 72y = 1304

72y  = 1304 - 224

72y = 1080

y = \frac{1080}{72}

y = $15

Therefore the price of a senior citizen ticket is $4 and price of a student ticket is $15 .

An article describes an experiment to determine the effectiveness of mushroom compost in removing petroleum contaminants from so
alexgriva [62]

Solution :

Let p_1 and p_2  represents the proportions of the seeds which germinate among the seeds planted in the soil containing 3\% and 5\% mushroom compost by weight respectively.

To test the null hypothesis H_0: p_1=p_2 against the alternate hypothesis  H_1:p_1 \neq p_2 .

Let \hat p_1, \hat p_2 denotes the respective sample proportions and the n_1, n_2 represents the sample size respectively.

$\hat p_1 = \frac{74}{155} = 0.477419

n_1=155

$p_2=\frac{86}{155}=0.554839

n_2=155

The test statistic can be written as :

$z=\frac{(\hat p_1 - \hat p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1 \times (1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}} + \frac{\hat p_2 \times (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}}

which under H_0  follows the standard normal distribution.

We reject H_0 at 0.05 level of significance, if the P-value or if |z_{obs}|>Z_{0.025}

Now, the value of the test statistics = -1.368928

The critical value = \pm 1.959964

P-value = $P(|z|> z_{obs})= 2 \times P(z< -1.367928)$

                                     $=2 \times 0.085667$

                                     = 0.171335

Since the p-value > 0.05 and $|z_{obs}| \ngtr z_{critical} = 1.959964$, so we fail to reject H_0 at 0.05 level of significance.

Hence we conclude that the two population proportion are not significantly different.

Conclusion :

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the \text{proportion} of the seeds that \text{germinate differs} with the percent of the \text{mushroom compost} in the soil.

For which of the following decreasing functions f does (f−1)′(10)=−1/8
Oduvanchick [21]

Recall the inverse function theorem: if f(x) has an inverse, and if f(a) = b and a = f⁻¹(b), then

f⁻¹(f(x)) = x   ⇒   (f⁻¹)'(f(x)) • f'(x) = 1   ⇒   (f⁻¹)'(f(x)) = 1/f'(x)

⇒   (f⁻¹)'(b) = 1/f'(a)

Let b = 10. Then pick the function f(x) such that f(a) = 10 and f'(a) = -8 for some number a.
