Answer:

let x be hot dog

y be steak sandwiches

x+y=985

2.95x+9.95y=$7343.75

x=351 and y=634

Answer: He sold 634 steak sandwiches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the number of hot dogs and y denotes the number of steak sandwiches.

According to the given statements , we have

x+y=985-----------(1)\\\\ 2.95x+9.95y=7343.75----------------(2)

Multiply 2.95 to equation (1) , we get

2.95x+2.95y=2.95(985)

2.95x+2.95y=2905.75  (3)

Eliminate equation (2) from equation (3) , we get

7y=4438\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{4438}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=634

Hence, he sold 634 steak sandwiches.

Melissa has three different positive integers. She adds their reciprocals together and gets a sum of $1$. What is the product of
Whitepunk [10]

If the three integers are a,b,c, then we have

\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=1

We can combine the fractions on the left side:

\dfrac{bc}{abc}+\dfrac{ac}{abc}+\dfrac{ab}{abc}=\dfrac{bc+ac+ab}{abc}=1

\implies abc=bc+ac+ab

Data is collected to compare two different types of batteries. We measure the time to failure of 12 batteries of each type. Batt
-Dominant- [34]

Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the <u>test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test</u>, it is found that there is enough evidence to conclude that Battery B outlasts Battery A by more than 2 hours.

At the null hypothesis, it is <u>tested if it does not outlast by more than 2 hours</u>, that is, the subtraction is not more than 2:

H_0: \mu_B - mu_A \leq 2

At the alternative hypothesis, it is <u>tested if it outlasts by more than 2 hours</u>, that is:

H_1: \mu_B - \mu_A > 2

  • The sample means are: \mu_A = 8.65, \mu_B = 11.23
  • The standard deviations for the samples are s_A = s_B = 0.67

Hence, the standard errors are:

s_{Ea} = S_{Eb} = \frac{0.67}{\sqrt{12}} = 0.1934

The distribution of the difference has <u>mean and standard deviation</u> given by:

\overline{x} = \mu_B - \mu_A = 11.23 - 8.65 = 2.58

s = \sqrt{s_{Ea}^2 + s_{Eb}^2} = \sqrt{0.1934^2 + 0.1934^2} = 0.2735

The test statistic is given by:

t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}

In which \mu = 2 is the value tested at the hypothesis.

Hence:

t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}

t = \frac{2.58 - 2}{0.2735}

t = 2.12

The critical value for a <u>right-tailed test</u>, as we are testing if the subtraction is greater than a value, with a <u>0.05 significance level</u> and 12 + 12 - 2 = <u>22 df</u> is given by t^{\ast} = 1.71

Since the <u>test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test</u>, it is found that there is enough evidence to conclude that Battery B outlasts Battery A by more than 2 hours.
