Set the number of chickens as x and number of cows as <span>y
</span>so the farmer has total 28 animals
so x+y=28 
you know that since the animals are healthy
chickens will have 2 legs    and
cows will have 4 legs
the total number of legs are 64
so 2x+4y=64
since you want to find the number of cows 
so from the first equation <span>x+y=28
</span>we will get another equation <span>x=28-y
</span>then plug into <span>2x+4y=64
2(28-y)+4y=64
56-2y+4y=64
56+2y=64
-56      -56
2y=8
y=4
</span>

Jerry has a part-time job at a supermarket. The ordered pairs show the number of hours he worked for (input values) and the numb
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordered pairs are (6,72) (8,96) (5.5, 66) (9,108) (7,84).

The number of hours worked is x and the money earned is  y.

Let us divide the values of y by x

\dfrac{72}{6}=12

\dfrac{96}{8}=12

\dfrac{66}{5.5}=12

\dfrac{108}{9}=12

\dfrac{84}{7}=12

The fuction which defines the above ordered pairs is y=12x

It can be seen that the amount of money earned is 12 times the number of hours worked.

So, per hour Jerry earns 12 dollars.

Hence, the ordered pairs are relation.

The local swim team is considering offering a new semi-private class aimed at entry-level swimmers, but needs a minimum number o
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The significance level is \alpha=0.01 and since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value who accumulate 0.01 of the area in the right of the normal standard distribution and we got:

z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326

So we reject the null hypothesis is z>2.326

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as the number of entry-level swimmers and we are interested about the true population mean for this variable . On specific we want to test this:

Null hypothesis: \mu \leq 15

Alternative hypothesis: \mu > 15

And the statistic is given by:

z =\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

The significance level is \alpha=0.01 and since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value who accumulate 0.01 of the area in the right of the normal standard distribution and we got:

z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326

So we reject the null hypothesis is z>2.326
