Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.

Answer:
m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1 or -0.25u² -u
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is fairly easily written in vertex form, as the vertex point is on a grid line intersection at (-2, 1). The parabola opens downward, so the scale factor is negative.
The vertical change from the vertex is only a fraction of a unit when u differs from the vertex by 1. It is 1 unit when u differs from the vertex by 2, so the magnitude of the vertical scale factor is 1/2² = 1/4.
Our equation will be of the form ...
m(u) = (vertical scale factor)(u - (horizontal vertex location))² + (vertical vertex location)
For this graph, the equation is ...
m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1
or, simplifying, we get ...
m(u) = -0.25u² -u
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the fraction of all shoppers during the year whose visit was because of a coupon they'd received in the mail is (0.2016, 0.2694).
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of 
, and a confidence level of 
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of 
.
A store randomly samples 603 shoppers over the course of a year and finds that 142 of them made their visit because of a coupon they'd received in the mail.
This means that 
95% confidence level
So 
, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 
, so 
.
The lower limit of this interval is:
The upper limit of this interval is:
The 95% confidence interval for the fraction of all shoppers during the year whose visit was because of a coupon they'd received in the mail is (0.2016, 0.2694).
