On Monday, Josh went to the Farmer's Market. He bought 55 peaches and 22 watermelons for $7.75.. On Thursday, Josh went back to

the Farmer's Market and bought 33 peaches and 44 watermelons for $10.95. What systems of equations can be used to determine the cost for one peach (p)(p) and one watermelon (w)?

Answer:

The system of equations is

  • 5p+2w=7.75
  • 3p+4w=10.95.

When solved

  • The cost of one watermelon(w) is $2.25
  • The cost of one peach(p) is $0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of one peach =p

Let the price of one watermelon=w

On <u>Monday</u>, bought 5 peaches and 2 watermelons for $7.75.

  • 5p+2w=7.75

On Thursday, Josh went back to the Farmer's Market and bought 3 peaches and 4 watermelons for $10.95.

  • 3p+4w=10.95.

The system of equation that could be used to solve for the price of one peach (p) and one watermelon (w) is therefore:

  • 5p+2w=7.75
  • 3p+4w=10.95.

To solve this, Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 2.

  • 20p+8w=31
  • 6p+8w=21.9

Subtract

14p=9.1

Divide both sides by 14

p=$0.65

Next, we substitute p=$0.65 in any equation to obtain w.

5p+2w=7.75

5(0.65)+2w=7.75

2w=7.75-3.25

2w=4.5

w=$2.25

Therefore:

  • The cost of one watermelon(w) is $2.25
  • The cost of one peach(p) is $0.65

Answer:

For Monday

55p +22 w = 7.75   (1)

For Thursday

33p +44 w = 10.95  (2)

w = 0.20455

p= \frac{7.75-22*0.20455}{55}=0.059091

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the following notation:

p represent the individual price of peachs

w represent the individual price of water mellons

From the info given we can set up the following equations for the total cost:

For Monday

55p +22 w = 7.75   (1)

For Thursday

33p +44 w = 10.95  (2)

And if we solve for p from equation (1) we got:

p = \frac{7.75-22w}{55}   (3)

And replacing equation (3) into equation (2) we got:

33 (\frac{7.75-22w}{55}) +44w =10.95

4.65-13.2w +44w = 10.95

30.8w = 10.95-4.65

30.8 w = 6.3

w = 0.20455

And the price for the watermellon would be:

p= \frac{7.75-22*0.20455}{55}=0.059091

What is the exact circumference of the circle?
Delicious77 [7]

For this case, we have that by definition, the circumference of a circle is given by:

C = \pi * d

Where:

d: Is the diameter of the circle given by 2r, that is, twice the radius.

If we have a circle with a diameter equal to 8cm, then the circumference is given by:

C = \pi * 8 \ cm

ANswer:

Option C

8 \pi \ cm

An air transport association surveys business travelers to develop quality ratings for transatlantic gateway airports. The maxim
Flura [38]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean rating for Miami is (6.0, 7.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the population mean, when the population standard deviation is not provided is:

CI=\bar x \pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}\cdot \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

The sample selected is of size, <em>n</em> = 50.

The critical value of <em>t</em> for 95% confidence level and (<em>n</em> - 1) = 49 degrees of freedom is:

t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}=t_{0.05/2, 49}\approx t_{0.025, 60}=2.000

*Use a <em>t</em>-table.

Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation as follows:

\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum X=\frac{1}{50}\times [1+5+6+...+10]=6.76\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum (x-\bar x)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{49}\times 31.12}=2.552

Compute the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean rating for Miami as follows:

CI=\bar x \pm t_{\alpha/2, (n-1)}\cdot \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

     =6.76\pm 2.000\times \frac{2.552}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=6.76\pm 0.722\\\\=(6.038, 7.482)\\\\\approx (6.0, 7.5)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean rating for Miami is (6.0, 7.5).
