Working his way through school, Joe works two part-time jobs for a total of 18 hours a week. Job A pays $5.70 per hour, and Job

B pays $6.80 per hour. How many hours did he work at each job the week that he made $111.40?

Answer:

A = 14.2/1.1 hours

B = 5.091 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulate 2 simultaneous equations

5.7A + 6.8B = 111.40..........(1)

A +B =18...............................(2)

Multiply each item in (2) by 5.7 to get

5.7A + 5.7B = 97.2............(3)

subtract (1) - (3) on each side

5.7A -5.7A + 6.8B - 5.7B = 111.40 -97.2

1.1B = 14.2

B = 14.2 /1.1

to get A use equation (2)

A = 18 - B

A = 18 - 14.2/1.1 = 5.091

Answer:in the week , he worked 10 hours at Job A and 8 hours at job B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number hours that Joe worked at job A in a week.

Let y represent the number of hours that Joe worked at job B in a week.

Working his way through school, Joe works two part-time jobs for a total of 18 hours a week. This means that

x + y = 18

Job A pays $5.70 per hour, and Job B pays $6.80 per hour. He made a total of $111.4 working at each job during the week. It means that

5.7x + 6.8y = 111.4 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 18 - y into equation 1, it becomes

5.7(18 - y) + 6.8y = 111.4

102.6 - 5.7y + 6.8y = 111.4

- 5.7y + 6.8y = 111.4 - 102.6

1.1y = 8.8

y = 8

x = 18 - y = 18 - 8

x = 10

Assume that you have a sample of n 1 equals 6​, with the sample mean Upper X overbar 1 equals 50​, and a sample standard deviati
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

t=\frac{(50 -38)-(0)}{7.46\sqrt{\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{5}}}=2.656

df=6+5-2=9

p_v =P(t_{9}>2.656) =0.0131

Since the p value is higher than the significance level given of 0.01 we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for group 1 is significantly higher thn the true mean for the group 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

n_1 =6 represent the sample size for group 1

n_2 =5 represent the sample size for group 2

\bar X_1 =50 represent the sample mean for the group 1

\bar X_2 =38 represent the sample mean for the group 2

s_1=7 represent the sample standard deviation for group 1

s_2=8 represent the sample standard deviation for group 2

System of hypothesis

The system of hypothesis on this case are:

Null hypothesis: \mu_1 \leq \mu_2

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_1 > \mu_2

We are assuming that the population variances for each group are the same

\sigma^2_1 =\sigma^2_2 =\sigma^2

The statistic for this case is given by:

t=\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_{1}-\mu_2)}{S_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}}

The pooled variance is:

S^2_p =\frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1 +(n_2 -1)S^2_2}{n_1 +n_2 -2}

We can find the pooled variance:

S^2_p =\frac{(6-1)(7)^2 +(5 -1)(8)^2}{6 +5 -2}=55.67

And the pooled deviation is:

S_p=7.46

The statistic is given by:

t=\frac{(50 -38)-(0)}{7.46\sqrt{\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{5}}}=2.656

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df=6+5-2=9

The p value is given by:

p_v =P(t_{9}>2.656) =0.0131

Since the p value is higher than the significance level given of 0.01 we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for group 1 is significantly higher thn the true mean for the group 2.

Use substitution and substitute y into the other equation. One of the equations already gives you y in terms of x, so use that and substitute it into the other equation. y = 3x - 4

Plug into the other equation: -3y = -9x + 12 
-3(3x-4) = -9x + 12
-9x + 12 = -9x + 12
This is an identity. So that means that any value of x makes this equation true. So B.

Look at the following figure. Copy the cross onto another piece of paper. Then, cut apart the four pieces labeled A, B, C, and D
kozerog [31]

Answer:

C should slot on top of A.

Then D should slot in next to C of the left.

Lastly B should be beneath D and on the left of A.

Hope that makes sense.

1.  sum of exterior angles = 360 

so one interior angles = 180 - (360/30) = 180 - 12 = 168 degrees
sum of all the interior angles = 168*30 =  5040  
B
