Answer: A book cost $2.00

Step-by-step explanation: Given the no of books purchased by

Alana =4          Petra =2       Angus = 16

So

The total price of 4 books of Alana =4x$

Total price for Petra = 2x$

Total price of Alana and Petra =4x+2x

=6x$

Total price for Angus = 16x$

But given Angus received a discount  of $15

So price post discount = 16x- 15

According to the question

16x-15 = 6x +5

Adding 15 both sides

16x +15-15 = 6x + 5+15

16x= 6x+20

Subtracting 6x both sides

16x - 6x = 6x - 6x + 20

10x = 20

i.e x=2

Cost of one book = $2

Can someone please help me with math
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

they want us to find the equation in slope intercept form

which is y= mx + b

where m = slope and b = y intercept

the slope is change in y over change in x

as y goes up 1 x goes up 1 so the slope is 1 or m=1

the y intercept is at point (0,1)

so the y intercept is 1

now we add it all together and get that the equation Is

y=x+1

Papessa [141]

Answer: 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions would be (1.31, 1.39).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of alluvial wells = 349

Number of quaternary wells = 143

Number of alluvial wells that had concentrations above 0.1 = 182

Number of quaternary wells that had concentrations above 0.1 = 112

Average of alluvial wells = 0.27

Standard deviation = 0.4

Average of quaternary wells = 1.62

Standard deviation =1.70

So, 95% confidence interval gives

alpha = 5% level of significance.

\dfrac{\alpha}{2}=2.5\%\\\\z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=1.96

So, 95% confidence interval becomes,

(1.62-0.27)\pm 1.96\sqrt{\dfrac{0.4^2}{349}+\dfrac{1.7^2}{143}}\\\\=1.35\pm 1.96\times 0.020\\\\=(1.35-0.040,1.35+0.040)\\\\=(1.31,1.39)

Hence, 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions would be (1.31, 1.39).
