Mary’s yard is a mess. She needs to hire someone to prune her trees and shrubs. A landscaping service she calls quotes her a pri

ce of $15 consultation fee plus $8 an hour for the actual work. Mary’s neighbor has offered to help her out. She doesn’t charge a consultation fee, but does charge $10 an hour for her work. Who do you think Mary should hire for a 3-hour job? When, if at all, would it be more economical to hire the other service. (Set up and solve a system of equations to answer this question.) a. Mary should hire her neighbor; if there was more than 7.5 hours of work she should hire the landscaping service. b. Mary should hire her neighbor; if there was more than 4.2 hours of work she should hire the landscaping service. c. Mary should hire the landscaping service; if there was more than 7.5 hours of work she should hire her neighbor. d.

Answer:

Please mark me brainliest and I hoped this helped!

She should ask her neighbor to help her.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use equations to help us figure out this answer.

8x + 15 = y

10x = y

If she has a 3 hour job, we can use 3 instead of x.

8(3) + 15 = y

24 + 15 = y

30 = y for the landscaping service

10(3) = y

30 = y for a neighbors help

It will cost her 9 dollars less, so she should go with the neighbor.

Why is sample size important in experimental design? A. Larger sample sizes increase the likelihood that the sample is a good re
nlexa [21]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: when Constructing a confidence interval, it is important to take note of the margin of error which is given by the formulae below

Margin of error = critical value × σ/√n.

Where n is the sample size.

As we can see that the critical value is a constant and the population standard deviation.

Hence there is an inverse relationship between margin of error and sample size, which implies that a large sample size produces a small margin of error.

If the margin of error is small, it means the sample size will increase the like hood that the sample is a good representation of the population.

An individual who has automobile insurance from a certain company is randomly selected. Let Y be the number of moving violations
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

A. The E(Y) is 0.80

B. The expected amount of the surcharges is $165

Step-by-step explanation:

A. In order to calculate the E(Y), we would have to calculate the following formula:

E(Y)=∑yp(y)

E(Y)=(0*0.5)+(1*0.25)+(2*0.20)+(3*0.05)

E(Y)=0+0.25+0.40+0.15

E(Y)=0.80

B. In order to calculate the expected amount of the surcharges we would have to calculate the following formula:

E($110Y∧2)=110E(Y∧2)

=110∑y∧2p(y)

=110((0∧2*0.5)+(1∧2*0.25)+(2∧2*0.20)+(3∧2*0.05))

110(0+0.25+0.80+0.45)

=$165

2x+3y=6 x+2y=5 elimination
ValentinkaMS [17]
In this equation you can eliminate the x value
multiply the second equation by -2 and you get:
-2x - 2y = -10 
when you add the two equations the x factors will cancel

   2x + 3y = 6
-  2x - 2y = -10 
---------------------
             y = 16

you can find the x value by plugging the y value that you now know into one of the equations that you started off with.

A student has earned scores of 87, 81, and 88 on the first 3 of 4 tests. If the student wants an average (arithmetic mean) of ex
Juli2301 [7.4K]
To find an average you take the numbers to be averaged and add them together then You take the number and divide it by the number of numbers, in this case 4, and that gives you the average.
on this problem you want to do the opposite. you know the average she wants, an 87, so you multiply it by 4. 87*4=348. then you add the three numbers you have (88,81 and 87) and you get 256.
then you subtract 256 from 348 and you get 92. 92 is your answer to check just add 87+81+88+92=348
348/4=87
87 was the average she wanted.
Hope this helped! good luck :)

Find this expression in square form with process pls help me !!!!​
alekssr [168]

Answer:

(p -3q )(p -3q  )

Step-by-step explanation:

p'2 - 6pq + 9q'2

(p -3q )(p -3q  )

find two values that add to give 6 and multiply to 9

p x p =p'2

-3q x p = -3pq   -3 x pq = -3pq    ...... -3pq - 3pq = -6pq

-3q x - 3q = 9q'2
