Natasha2012 [34]

The baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of gala apples bought

Let "y" be the number of granny smith apples bought

Cost of 1 gala apple = $ 0.30

Cost of 1 granny smith apple = $ 0.25

A baker buys 19 apples of two different varieties to make pies

Therefore,

number of gala apples bought + number of granny smith apples bought = 19

x + y = 19 --------- eqn 1

The total cost of the apples is $5.10

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

number of gala apples bought x Cost of 1 gala apple + number of granny smith apples bought x Cost of 1 granny smith apple = 5.10

$x \times 0.30 + y \times 0.25 = 5.10$

0.3x + 0.25y = 5.1 -------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

From eqn 1,

x = 19 - y ---------- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

0.3(19 - y) + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.3y + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.05y = 5.1

0.05y = 5.7 - 5.1

0.05y = 0.6

y = 12

Substitute y = 12 in eqn 3

x = 19 - 12

x = 7

Thus the baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples

There are 15,958,866 adults in a region. If a polling organization randomly selects 1235 adults without replacement, are the s

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The selections are dependent.

Yes, they can be treated as independent (less than 5% of the population).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the selections are made without replacement, each selection affects the outcome of the next selection and, therefore, the selections are dependent.

Although they are dependent, the selections can be treated as independent if the sample size is no more than 5% of the total population. In this case, the sample size is 1235 adults out of a population of 15,958,866 adults. The percentage represented by the sample is:

$P=\frac{12,345}{15,958.866}*100\\ P=0.077\%$

Thus the selections can be treated as independent for the purposes of calculations.
