Answer:

The length of the shorter piece=0.35 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lengths be as follow;

Shorter piece=x

Longer piece=15 cm longer than twice shorter piece(x)

Since 1 m=100 cm, 15 cm=15/100=0.15 m

Longer piece= (2×x)+0.15=2x+0.15

Total length=1.2 m

Total length=shorter piece+longer piece

Replacing;

1.2=x+2x+0.15

3x=1.2-0.15

3x=1.05

x=(1.05/3)=0.35

The length of the shorter piece=x=0.35

Dan's school is selling tickets to a play. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Let's define the variables:

A = price of one adult ticket.

S = price of one student ticket.

We know that:

"On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets for a total of $69."

1*A + 6*S = $69

"The school took in $150 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and student tickets"

7*A + 7*S = $150

Then we have a system of equations:

A + 6*S = $69

7*A + 7*S = $150.

To solve this, we should start by isolating one variable in one of the equations, let's isolate A in the first equation:

A = $69 - 6*S

Now let's replace this in the other equation:

7*($69 - 6*S) + 7*S = $150

Now we can solve this for S.

$483 - 42*S + 7*S = $150

$483 - 35*S = $150

$483 - $150 = 35*S

$333 = 35*S

$333/35 = S

$9.51 = S

That we could round to $9.50

That is the price of one student ticket.

For a sample of eight​ bears, researchers measured the distances around the​ bears' chests and weighed the bears. Minitab was us
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that for a sample of eight​ bears, researchers measured the distances around the​ bears' chests and weighed the bears.

r = linear correlation coeff = 0.952

H_0: r =0\\

H_1 :r\neq 0

(Two tailed test)

r difference = 0.952

n=8

Std error = \sqrt{\frac{1-r^2}{n-2} } =0.12496

Test statistic t = 0.952/0.12496 = 7.618

Alpha = 0.05

df = 6

p value = 0.000267

This implies H0 is rejected.

There exists a linear relation between the variables and r cannot be 0

0.952^2 = 0.906=90.6% of variation in weight can be explained by the linear relationship between weight and chest​ size
