Answer:

The system of equations that can be used to calculate the number of bracelets and necklaces sold are:

                     x+y=23

and               2x+3y=55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bracelets are represented by x and the necklaces are represented by y.

Now it is given that:

  • Sherri has 23 pieces of jewelry to sell.

This implies that the equation that can be formed using this information is:

                 x+y=23------(1)

  • She sells the bracelets for $2 and the necklaces for $3, and earns a total of $55.

Hence, the equation formed by using this information is:

                 2x+3y=55--------(2)

A cube shaped container has an edge length of 2/3 feet what is the volume of the container
Dahasolnce [82]
To find the volume, you cube the edges.
So make it easier, you can cube the numerator and then the denominator.
2*2=4*2=8
3*3=9*3=27
8/27
You cannot simplify it any more.
The volume of the container is 8/27 feet cubes.

Determine the critical value or values for a one-mean z-test at the 1% significance level if the hypothesis test is right-tailed
kifflom [539]

Answer:

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is greater than specified value, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq \mu_o      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > \mu_o      

For this case the significance is 1%. So we need to find a critical value in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.99 of the area in the left and 0.01 in the right and for this case this critical value is:

z_{crit}= 2.326

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

\bar X represent the sample mean

\sigma represent the standard deviation for the population      

n= sample size      

\mu_o represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)      

State the null and alternative hypotheses.      

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is greater than specified value, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu \leq \mu_o      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu > \mu_o      

For this case the significance is 1%. So we need to find a critical value in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.99 of the area in the left and 0.01 in the right and for this case this critical value is:

z_{crit}= 2.326

Mrs.Jenning had 5/7 gallon of paint. She gave 1/7 gallon each to some students. How many students received paint if Mrs.Jennings
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The number of students who received the paint=5 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine amount given to each student

Quantity per student=1/7 gallon per student

Step 2: Determine the total amount of paint Mrs. Jennings had

The total quantity of paint Mrs. Jennings is:

Initial quantity of paint=5/7 gallon

Step 3: Calculate number of students who received the paint

The number of students who received the paint can be expressed as;

Initial quantity of paint=Quantity per student×number of students

where;

Initial quantity of paint=5/7 gallons

Quantity per student=1/7 gallons

number of students=n

replacing;

5/7=(1/7)×n

n=(5/7)×7

n=5

The number of students who received the paint=5 students
