<span>pennies = 0.01 $
 nickels = 0.05 $
 dimes = 0.1 $
 quarters = 0.25 $
 We must write the system of equations that best suits this problem and solve it:
 Let:
 x = pennies
 y = nickels
 z = dimes
 w = quarters
 Writing the equations
 0.01x + 0.05y + 0.1z + 0.25w = 3.71
 I have twice as many dimes as nickels
 z = 2y
 two more nickels than quarters
 y = w + 2
 three fewer pennies than three times the number of nickels
 x = 3y-3.
 Solving the system of equations:
 x = 21
 y = 8
 z = 16
 w = 6
 answer
 He has
 21 pennies
 8 nickels
 16 dimes
 6 quarters

Problem 14

<h3>Answer: They bought <u>too much</u> sand</h3>

-----------------------

Explanation:

Because the sandbox is a rectangular prism, aka a block, we multiply the length width and height to get the volume.

Volume = length*width*height = 6*5*1.2 = 36

The volume of the sandbox is 36 cubic feet.

The customer bought 40 cubic feet of sand, which exceeds the volume we computed earlier. The customer bought <u>too much</u> sand.

If it was a choice of buying too much or too little, I think it's better to go overboard just so you don't have to return to the store. The extra amount of sand (40-36 = 4 cubic feet) can possibly sold or donated at a later time.

Problem 15

<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • The equation could be 306.52 = 19.4h or  19.4h = 306.52
  • Either equation mentioned solves to h = 15.8; so the height of the prism is 15.8 meters

-----------------------

Explanation:

The rectangular prism formula to calculate the volume is

Volume = length*width*height

Note that the portion "length*width" can be replaced with "base area", because the base area is a rectangle.

So we can have this alternative formula

Volume = (base area)*height

If we know the area of the floor, and multiply by the height of the wall, then we can calculate the volume of a room like this. In this case, the floor is 19.4 square meters in area. The overall room is 306.52 cubic meters. We'll let h be the height of the wall. Use algebra to solve for h

Volume = (base area)*height

306.52 = 19.4h .... is one equation to set up

19.4h = 306.52

h = 306.52/19.4

h = 15.8

We divide both sides by 19.4 to undo the multiplication going on.

The height of the prism is 15.8 meters.

A major department store chain is interested in estimating the mean amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

95% Confidence interval: (39.43, 61.58)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample mean, \bar{x} = $50.50

Sample size, n = 15

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation = 20

95% Confidence interval:

\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

Putting the values, we get,  

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 14 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.1447  

=50.50 \pm 2.1447(\dfrac{20}{\sqrt{15}} ) \\\\= 50.50 \pm 11.0751 \\= (39.4249,61.5751)\\\approx (39.43, 61.58)  

95% Confidence interval: (39.43, 61.58)

Using traditional methods, it takes 95 hours to receive a basic flying license. A new license training method using Computer Aid
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the technique performs differently than the traditional method.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is:

H_{0} = 95

The alternate hypotesis is:

H_{1} \neq 95

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

A researcher used the technique with 260 students and observed that they had a mean of 94 hours. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 6.

This means, respectively, that n = 260, X = 94, \sigma = 6

The test-statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z = \frac{94 - 95}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{260}}}

z = -2.69

The pvalue is:

2(P(Z < -2.69))

P(Z < -2.69) is the pvalue of Z when X = -2.69, which looking at the z-table, is 0.0036

2*(0.0036) = 0.0072

0.0072 < 0.01, which means that the null hypothesis is accepted, that is, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the technique performs differently than the traditional method.

Identify the zeros of the polynomial function .
Komok [63]

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, every term has an

x

in common, so we can factor that out. Doing this, we get

x

(

x

2

+

x

−

42

)

=

0

What I have in blue can be factored by a thought experiment. What two numbers have a sum of

1

and a product of

−

42

?

After some trial and error, we arrive at

−

6

and

7

. Thus, this business can be factored as

x

(

x

−

6

)

(

x

+

7

)

=

0

We can leverage the zero product property here, setting all three terms equal to zero. As our zeroes, we get

x

=

0

,

x

=

6

, and

x

=

−

7
