Answer:

The number of the television sets that is model p is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have total number of television sold = 40

The model p televisions sold for $30 less than the model q televisions

That is $P = $q - $30

Therefore

Let the quantity of the model p sold be X

Let the quantity of the model q sold be X

Therefore

x + y = 40

Total cost of the television = 40 * 141 = $5640

Therefore, 120*x + 90*y = 5640

Plugging in x = 40 - y in the above equation we get

4800 - 30y = 5640 or

y   = -28 and

x = 68

If we put y = 40 - x we get

30x + 3600 = 5640  

If we put

120*x + 150*y = 5640.........(3)

we get

x = 12 and y = 28

Therefore, since the model p sold for $30 less than the model q, from the solution of equation (3) the number of the television sets that is model p = 12

Answer: 12 of the 40 televisions were model p televisions

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue = price × quantity

Let x represent the number of the model p TV sold

The number of model q TV sold would be 40 - x

Revenue from model p TV sold is

px

Revenue from model q TV sold is

(40 - x)q

Total revenue = px + (40 - x)q

The formula for determining average price is expressed as

Average price = total revenue/total number of TV sold.

The average (arithmetic mean) selling price of the 40 televisions was $141. This means that

141 = (px + (40 - x)q)/40

141 × 40 = px + (40 - x)q

5640 = px + (40 - x)q

p = q - 30

5640 = x(q - 30) + (40 - x)q

5640 = xq - 30x + 40q - xq

5640 = - 30x + 40q

If q = 120, then

5640 = - 30x + 40 × 120

5640 = - 30x + 4800

5640 - 4800 = - 30x

840 = - 30x

x = 840/- 30 = - 28

since x cannot be negative, then q is not equal to 120

Again,

5640 = px + (40 - x)q

If q = 30 + p, then

5640 = px + (40 - x)(30 + p)

5640 = px + 1200 + 40p - 30x - px

5640 = 1200 + 40p - 30x

Therefore,

If p = 120, then

5640 = 1200 + 40 × 120 - 30x

5640 = 6000 - 30x

30x = 6000 - 5640

30x = 360

x = 360/30

x = 12

Find the size of each of two samples (assume that they are of equal size) needed to estimate the difference between the proporti
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The sample size n = 4225

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use maximum error formula = \frac{z_{a} S.D}{\sqrt{n} }

but we will find sample size "n"

\sqrt{n}  = \frac{z_{a} S.D}{maximum error}

Squaring on both sides , we get

n  = (\frac{z_{a} S.D}{maximum error})^2

Given 99% confidence interval (z value) = 2.56

given maximum error = 0.02

n  = (\frac{z_{a} p(1-p)}{maximum error})^2

n≤ (\frac{2.56X\frac{1}{2} }{0.02}) ^{2}    ( here S.D = p(1-p) ≤ 1/2

on simplification , we get n = 4225

<u>Conclusion</u>:

The sample size of two samples is  n = 4225

<u>verification</u>:-

We will use maximum error formula = \frac{z_{a} S.D}{\sqrt{n} } = \frac{2.56 1/2}{\ \sqrt{4225} }  = 0.0196

substitute all values and simplify we get maximum error is 0.02

Question 1 of 10<br> (x)=x2. What is g(x)?<br> y<br> f(x)<br> g(x)<br> -5<br> 6<br> (3, 3)<br> 5
never [62]

The graph is attached and the answer to the function g(x) = (1/3)x²

Option A is the right answer.

<h3>What is a Function ?</h3>

A function is a mathematical statement that relates a dependent variable and an independent variable.

It is given that

f(x) = x²

It has been asked to determine the equation of g(x)

It can be seen from the graph the the vertex is same just the graph is scaled.

The point (3,3) is of g(x) , when the value of y at at x =3 is 9

Therefore the scale factor is 1/3

And we can do trial and error on the basis of the options given ,

The graph is attached and the answer to the function g(x) = (1/3)x²

Option A is the right answer.

9. What is the volume of this cube? (2 pts.) Show your work here.​
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Volume = 27 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the formula of volume is l x h x w.

Second, the l, h, and w, are all 3, so to get your answer you do 3 x 3 x 3 which equals 27.

Hope this helps!
