John sold 10 hamburgers and 14 cheeseburgers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one hamburger = $3

Cost of one cheeseburger = $3.50

Total burgers sold = 24

Total revenue earned = $79

Let,

Number of hamburgers sold = x

Number of cheeseburgers sold = y

According to given statement;

x+y=24   Eqn 1

3x+3.50y=79    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3

3(x+y=24)\\3x+3y=72\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(3x+3.50y)-(3x+3y)=79-72\\3x+3.50y-3x-3y=7\\0.50y=7

Dividing both sides by 0.50

\frac{0.50y}{0.50}=\frac{7}{0.50}\\y=14

Putting y=14 in Eqn 1

x+14=24\\x=24-14\\x=10

John sold 10 hamburgers and 14 cheeseburgers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common ratio is 5

(That is the number we multiply by)

The formula is

an = a1 (r) ^ (n-1)

an = 2/5 * (5) ^ (n-1)

The ransin sports company has noted that the size of individual customer orders is normally distributed with a mean of $112 and
Sonja [21]

Standard error of the mean is computed by:

Standard error = SD/ sqrt N

Where:

N is the sample size

SD is the standard deviation

 

To get the standard deviation, you need to get the sqrt of the variance = sqrt 9 = 3

So plugging in our data:

 

Standard error = 3 / sqrt (16)

= 0.75
