The price of one hat is $2 and price of one pair of mittens is $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Price of one hat = x

Price of one pair of mittens = y

According to given statement;

5x+4y=30 Eqn 1

2x+3y=19 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2

$2(5x+4y=30)\\10x+8y=60\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 5

$5(2x+3y=19)\\10x+15y=95\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 4$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 4

$(10x+15y)-(10x+8y)=95-60\\10x+15y-10x-8y=35\\7y=35\\$

Dividing both sides by 7

$\frac{7y}{7}=\frac{35}{7}\\y=5$

Putting y=5 in Eqn 1

$5x+4(5)=30\\5x+20=30\\5x=30-20\\5x=10$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{10}{2}\\x=2$

The price of one hat is $2 and price of one pair of mittens is $5.

Th term of a seq uence is n(n-4) /n+3 Work out the sum of the 1st and 6th terms.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term Tₙ = n(n-4) /n+3.

The 1st term T₁ = 1(1 - 4)/(1 + 3) = -3/4

The 6th term T₆ = 6(6 - 4)/(6 + 3) = 6(2)/9 = 2(2)/3 = 4/3

So, the sum of the 1st and 6th terms is T₁ + T₆ = -3/4 + 4/3

= (-9 + 16)/12

= 7/12

A small business ships specialty homemade candies to anywhere in the world. Past records indicate that the weight of orders is n

Fantom [35]

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the true mean weight of orders is between a lower limit of 103.8645 grams and an upper limit of 116.1355 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for true mean weight is given as sample mean +/- margin of error (E)

sample mean = 110 g

sample sd = 14 g

n = 16

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

confidence level = 90% = 0.9

significance level = 1 - C = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 = 10%

critical value (t) corresponding to 15 degrees of freedom and 10% significance level is 1.753

E = t × sample sd/√n = 1.753×14/√16 = 6.1355 g

Lower limit of sample mean = sample mean - E = 110 - 6.1355 = 103.8645 g

Upper limit of sample mean = sample mean + E = 110 + 6.1355 = 116.1355 g

90% confidence interval is (103.8645, 116.1355)
