Answer:x=53/6 and y=-55/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number x

Second number b y

Sum of the numbers x+y=-1/3

x-y=18

Solve simultaneously

Using elimination method

We get

2y=-55/3

y=-55/6

Substitute for y in equation 1

x+55/6=18

x=18-55/6

x=53/6

The researcher trains a sample of 16 individuals in mindfulness and then collects data on how long they spend eating per day. Th

Mila [183]

Answer:

The calculated t-value is t=0.47.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

"Americans typically eat quickly and do not spend time enjoying their meal. A researcher plans to test if those trained in mindfulness will take more time to enjoy their meal (that is, they will spend more time eating than the general population). The general population spends an average of 68 minutes per day combined eating their three meals. The researcher trains a sample of 16 individuals in mindfulness and then collects data on how long they spend eating per day. The sample mean for those trained in mindfulness equals 74; the SS = 150. What is the calculated t-value? Round your answer to two decimal places."

The degrees of freedom are (n-1)=(16-1)=15

The standard deviation is:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{SS}{n-1}}=\sqrt{\frac{150}{16-1}}=\sqrt{10}=3.16$

The t-value can be calculated as:

$t=\frac{M-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} =\frac{74-68}{3.16/\sqrt{16}} \\\\t=\frac{6}{3.16*4}=\frac{6}{12.64}= 0.47$

A textbook store sold a combined total of 426 math and sociology textbooks in a week. The number of math textbooks sold was 88 m

SOVA2 [1]

Let m and s be the number of math and sociology books sold respectively.

m=s+88 we are also told that:

m+s=426, using m found above in this equation gives you:

s+88+s=426 combine like terms on left side

2s+88=426 subtract 88 from both sides

2s=338 divide both sides by 2

s=169, since m=s+88

m=169+88=257

So 257 math and 169 sociology textbooks were sold.
