The sum of two numbers is 13 more than twice the first number:

x + y = 2x +13

x - y = y - 14

solve the system of equations:

x - (x + 13) = (x +13) - 14

x = -12

y = 1

r. Yi buys vegetables at a market. He purchases 6 pounds of potatoes, p, and 3 pounds of onions, n, for $18. Onions cost twice a

ad-work [718]

Answer:

The equation 2n = p should be 2p = n.
The actual cost of the onions is $3.00 per pound.
Potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording "onions cost twice as much as potatoes" is understood to mean the cost per pound of onions (n) is equal to two times the cost per pound of potatoes (2p). Then the appropriate equation would be ...

2p = n

Then the solution is ...

6p +3(2p) = 18

12p = 18

p = 18/12 = 1.50

n = 2p = 2(1.50) = 3.00

__

The equation should be 2p = n; onions cost $3.00 per pound; potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.

From a large number of actuarial exam scores, a random sample of scores is selected, and it is found that of these are passing s

Mnenie [13.5K]

<u>Supposing 60 out of 100 scores are passing scores</u>, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all scores that are passing is (0.5, 0.7).

The lower limit is 0.5.
The upper limit is 0.7.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of $\frac{1+\alpha}{2}$ .

60 out of 100 scores are passing scores, hence $n = 100, \pi = \frac{60}{100} = 0.6$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6(0.4)}{100}} = 0.5$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6(0.4)}{100}} = 0.7$

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all scores that are passing is (0.5, 0.7).

The lower limit is 0.5.
The upper limit is 0.7.
