Answer:

There were 35 gallons of gasoline and 500 gallons of kerosene.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Write data for equation 1</u>

<em>Let gallons of kerosene be x</em>

<em>Let gallons of gasoline be y</em>

<em>Total capacity of truck is 4000</em>

<u>Step 2: Form equation 1</u>

x + y = 4000

<u>Step 3: Write data for equation 2</u>

<em>Profit of total gallons of kerosene is 0.12x</em>

<em>Profit of total gallons of gasoline is 16y</em>

<em>Total profit is $620</em>

<u>Step 4: Form equation 2</u>

0.12x + 16y = 620

<u>Step 5: Find x in terms of y from equation 1</u>

x + y = 4000

x = 4000 - y

<u>Step 6: Substitute value of x in equation 2</u>

0.12x + 16y = 620

0.12 (4000 - y) + 16y = 620

480 - 12y + 16y = 620

4y = 620 - 480

y = 140/4

y = 35

<u>Step 7: Substitute value of y in equation 1 to find x</u>

0.12x + 16y = 620

0.12x + 16 ( 35 ) = 620

0.12x = 60

x = 500

There were 35 gallons of gasoline and 500 gallons of kerosene.

Use the following table for questions 11-13.A baseball manager believes a linear relationship exists between the number of Home
slamgirl [31]

The regression equation of Y on X is given by the following formula:

Y-\bar{Y}=b_{yx}(X-\bar{X})

Where byx is given by the formula:

b_{yx}=\frac{N\sum^{}_{}XY-\sum^{}_{}X\sum^{}_{}Y}{N\sum^{}_{}X^2-(\sum^{}_{}X)^2}

Where N is the number of values (N=8). We need to find the sum of X values, the sum of Y values, the average of X, the average of Y, the sum of X*Y and the sum of X^2.

The table of values is:

The values we need to know are on the following table:

By replacing the known values in the formula we obtain:

\begin{gathered} b_{yx}=\frac{8\cdot26125-167\cdot995}{8\cdot4649-(167)^2} \\ b_{yx}=\frac{209000-166165}{37192-27889} \\ b_{yx}=\frac{42835}{9303} \\ b_{yx}=4.6 \end{gathered}

Now, the average of X and Y is the sum divided by N, then:

\begin{gathered} \bar{X}=\frac{167}{8}=20.87 \\ \bar{Y}=\frac{995}{8}=124.37 \end{gathered}

Replace these values in the formula and find the regression equation as follows:

\begin{gathered} Y-124.37=4.6(X-20.87) \\ Y-124.37=4.6X-4.6\cdot20.87 \\ Y=4.6X-96.11+124.37 \\ Y=4.6X+28.26 \end{gathered}

The answer is a) y=4.6x+28.26

Explain how using basic facts can help you find 10×20×30×40 mentally?
Katena32 [7]
So all you have to do is take the first numbers of each multiple and multiply them. 
1 x 2 x 3 x 4 = 24 
Now you just add the 4 zeros to your answer. 
240,000 

Our answer even checks! 
10 x 20 x 30 x 40 = 240,000 

Good Luck! :)

Students sometimes suspect that studying more isn't worth it for "harder" math and science classes: either you understand it, or
Zolol [24]

ANSWER: The statistical procedure that should be performed is REGRESSION.

Step-by-step explanation: Regression is a statistical procedure that is used to estimate the relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable using their mean values.

The independent variable in this case is the hours each student spend in studying, while the dependent variable is the students grade.

Since the researcher wants to determine if the hours a student spend in studying maths and science has any significant effect on their grades. The researcher should use regression, because it will show if the two variables are related and how it relates, by showing how far the points are from the trend lines of the graph.
