Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 8

3x - y = 9

3(8) - y = 9

24 - y = 9

-y = 9 - 24

-y = -15

y = 15

ax + y = 23

a(8) + 15 = 23

8a = 23 - 15

8a = 8

a = 8/8

a = 1

2)$3.44

Step-by-step explanation:

4 cans and 3 loaves=11.67

8 cans and 1 loaf= 12.89.

Set up equation:

x=cans

y=loaves

4x+3y=11.67\\8x+y=12.89 This is the answer for question A.

Multiply eq1 by 2:

8x+6y=23.34

Subtract eq3 by eq2:

5y=10.45\\y=2.09

Substitute:

8x+2.09=12.89\\8x=10.8\\x=1.35

One can of soup and one loaf of bread=

1.35+2.09 or 3.44

So:

$3.44

Total number of lizards infected = 38

Of the 15 species B lizards 40% survived

For specie C one more survived than died

Out of the 24 lizards that died 1/3 were species A

<u>A) contingency table </u>

attached below

<u>B) Determine the proportion of these lizards in this study that were either specie A or Specie B </u>

P ( A or B ) = ( 8 + 15 ) / 38 = 0.605 ≈ 0.61

<u>C) determine the probability that specie C lizard did not study </u>

P ( not surviving  | C ) = 7 / 15 = 0.466 ≈ 0.47
