Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one white chocolate pretzel.

Let y represent the cost of one dark chocolate pretzel.

Rico bought 4 white chocolate pretzels and 6 dark chocolate pretzels for $10.50. This means that

4x + 6y = 10.5 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Holden bought 8 white chocolate and 3 dark chocolate pretzels for $9.75. This means that

8x + 3y = 9.75 - - - - - - - - - 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 4, it becomes

32x + 48y = 84

32x + 12y = 39

Subtracting, it becomes

36y = 45

y = 45/36 = $1.25

Substituting y = 1.25 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 6 × 1.25 = 10.5

4x + 7.5 = 10.5

4x = 10.5 - 7.5 = 3

x = 3/4 = $0.75

the total cost for 6 white chocolate pretzels and one dark chocolate pretzel would be

6 × 0.75 + 1 × 1.25 = 4.5 + 1.25 = $5.75

Answer:

x = -15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply use equation properties to solve for x.

2x - 5 = -20

2x - 5 + 5 = -20 + 5

2x = -15  ( Add positive 5 to both sides )

2x * (1/2) = -15 * (1/2)

x = -15/2  ( Multiply both sides by 1/2)

Hence, the solution to x is -15 / 2.

Cheers.

Standard deviation of a normal data distribution is a _______. Group of answer choices
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Standard deviation of a normal data distribution is a measure of data dispersion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation is used to measure dispersion which is present around the mean data.

The value of standard deviation will never be negative.

The greater the spread, the greater the standard deviation.

Steps-

1. At first, the mean value should be discovered.

2.Then find out the square of it's distance to mean value.

3.Then total the values

4.Then divide the number of data point.

5.the square root have to be taken.

Formula-

SD=\sqrt{\frac{(\sum{x-x)^2}  }{n-1}

   Advantage-

It is used to measure dispersion when mean is used as measure of central tendency.
