Answer: cost of 1 pot of ivy = $12
Cost of 1 rose bush =$ 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let rose bushes be represented as r
and pot of ivy be represented as p
such that Amy who spent 82 dollars on 7 rose bushes and 1 pot of ivy can be expressed as
7 r + p = 82----- eqn 1
Rob who spent 74 on 5 rose bushes and 2 pots of ivy can be expressed as
5r +2 p = 74----- eqn 2
Step 2
Solving
7 r + p = 82----- eqn 1
5r +2 p = 74----- eqn 2
By elimination method Multiply eqn 1 by 5 and eqn 2 by 7
35r+ 5p= 410--- eqn 3
35r+ 14p =518--- eqn 4
Subtracting eqn 4 from eqn 3
9p = 108
p = 108/9
p=12
p = pot of ivy = $12
therefore rose bush wll be ( from equation 1)
7r+ p= 82
7r=82-12
7r= 70 r= 70/7
r= rose bush =$ 10
Answer: 4 seeds will left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total sunflower seeds = 1354
Number of people shared sunflower seeds equally = 6
By division operation,
Number of seeds each people will get = (Total sunflower seeds) ÷ (Number of people shared seeds equally)
Hence, each people will get 256 sunflower seeds and 4 seeds will left.
First let's define variables:
r: reading
s: skimming
We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem:
r + s = 275
(15/10) r + (10/15) s = 355
We solve the system of equations:
r = 206
s = 69
Note: see attached image for system solution.
Answer:
Jayden had to skim 69 pages through
The square root of 169=13 so it is rational
Answer:
The probability that a randomly selected person gets incorrect result is 2.2 × 10⁻⁴
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters given are;
The accuracy of the test for a person who has the respiratory synctial virus = 97%
The accuracy of the test for a person who does not have the respiratory synctial virus = 99%
We have;
a = TP =
b = FP
c = FN
d = TN
a/(a + c) = 0.97
d/(d + b) = 0.99
a/(a + b) = 0.97*0.0055/(0.97*0.0055 + (1 - 0.99)*(1-0.0055))
PPV = 0.349 = 34.9%
Therefore, we have;
a/(a + c) = 0.97 and
a/(a + b) = 0.349
0.97(a + c) =0.349(a + b)
(0.97 - 0.349)a = 0.349·b - 0.97·c
a = (0.349·b - 0.97·c)0.621
b × (1 - 0.0055) = (1 - 0.97)×(1 - 0.0055)
b = 1 - 0.97 = 0.03
Similarly,
c = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01
The proportion of the population that have false positive and false negative = 0.03 + 0.01 = 0.04 = 4%
The probability that a randomly selected person gets incorrect result = 0.04×0.0055 = 0.00022.
