Answer:the price of one adult ticket is $24.5

the price of one youth ticket is $20.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of one adult ticket.

Let y represent the price of one youth ticket.

One family spends $131 on 2 adult tickets and 4 youth tickets at an amusement park. This means that

2x + 4y = 131 - - - - - - - - - -1

Another family spends $139 on 4 adult and 2 youth tickets at the same park. This means that

4x + 2y = 139 - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes

8x + 16y = 524

8x + 4y = 278

Subtracting

12y = 246

y = 246/12 = 20.5

Substituting y = 20.5 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 4×20.5 = 131

2x + 82 = 131

2x = 131 - 82 = 49

x = 49/2 = 24.5

A financial analyst wanted to estimate the mean annual return on mutual funds. A random sample of funds' returns shows an averag
Feliz [49]

A financial analyst wanted to estimate the mean annual return on mutual funds. A random sample of 60 funds' returns shows an average rate of 12%. If the population standard deviation is assumed to be 4%, the 95% confidence interval estimate for the annual return on all mutual funds is

A. 0.037773 to 0.202227

B. 3.7773% to 20.2227%

C. 59.98786% to 61.01214%

D. 51.7773% to 68.2227%

E. 10.988% to 13.012%

Answer: E. 10.988% to 13.012%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Mean x= 12%

Standard deviation r = 4%

Number of samples tested n = 60

Confidence interval is 95%

Z' = t(0.025)= 1.96

Confidence interval = x +/- Z'(r/√n)

= 12% +/- 1.96(4%/√60)

= 12% +/- 0.01214%

Confidence interval= (10.988% to 13.012%)

Answer:

\frac{1}{3}x+16=37

63 Jelly Beans

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown is the number of jelly beans originally in the bag or x

First he had x jelly beans

The he ate one-third of them

\frac{1}{3}x

He then ate 16 more jelly beans

\frac{1}{3}x+16

This was equal to 37 jelly beans

\frac{1}{3}x+16=37

This is the equation

Now solve for x

Subtract 16 from both sides

\frac{1}{3}x=21

Multiply both sides by 3

x=63

In triangle ABC, D is the midpoint of side AC and E is the midpoint of side BC.
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all sides are half of greater triangle.Then 7 × 2 = 14 is length of greater hypotenuse.

Suppose two triangles with similar conditions

1^2+1^2=2

Hypotenuse=2^1/2

We assume another triangle which is exactly double of previous triangle I.e

2^2+2^2=8

Hypotenuse=2×2^1/2

Which is exactly twice of previous triangle.

Hence proved hyootenuse is double of smaller triangle I.e 14
