<h3>Answers:</h3>

x+y = \boxed{ \ 8 \ }

\boxed{ \ 0.10 \ }x+\boxed{ \ 0.30 \ }y = \boxed{ \ 2\ }

\boxed{ \ 2 } cups of the 10% sugar solution

\boxed{ \ 6 } cups of the 30% sugar solution

============================================================

Work Shown:

x = number of cups of the 10% solution

y = number of cups of the 30% solution

The two mixes add together to get 8 cups since this is the total amount we want. Therefore, the first equation is simply x+y = 8

Solve for y to get y = 8-x. We'll use this equation later.

-----------------------

The second equation is a bit more tricky.

0.10x = amount of pure sugar from just the 10% batch

0.30y = amount of pure sugar from just the 30% batch

0.10x+0.30y = total amount of pure sugar from both batches

25% of 8 = 0.25*8 = 2 = total amount of pure sugar required

0.10x+0.30y = 2 is the second equation

-----------------------

Apply substitution to solve for x and y

0.10x+0.30y = 2 ..... start with the second equation

0.10x+0.30(8-x) = 2 ....... plug in y = 8-x

0.10x+2.4-0.30x = 2 ..... distribute

-0.20x + 2.4 = 2

-0.20x = 2-2.4 ....... subtract 2.4 from both sides

-0.20x = -0.4

x = -0.4/(-0.20) ..... divide both sides by -0.20

x = 2

Now that we know the value of x, we can find y.

y = 8-x

y = 8-2 ... plug in x = 2

y = 6

So we need 2 cups of the 10% solution and 6 cups of the 30% solution.

-----------------------

As a check,

x+y = 2+6 = 8 works out

0.10*x+0.30*y = 0.10*2+0.30*6 = 0.2+1.8 = 2 works out as well

The wall street journal corporate perceptions study 2011 surveyed readers and asked how each rated the quality of management and
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Hello some parts of your question is missing below is the missing part

answer : A) p-value =  0.0019 ,

The level of significance ( 0.05 ) > p-value ( 0.0019 )

B) There is no dependence between the two ratings

Step-by-step explanation:

A) using a 0.05 level of significance and test for independence of the quality of management

Test statistic : X^{2}  ∑ ( Oi - Ei )^2 / Ei

= [(40-35)^2 / 35 ] +  [(25-24.5)^2 / 24.5 ] +  [(5-10.5)^2 / 10.5]  +  [(35-40)^2 / 40]  +  [(35-28)^2 / 28]  +  [(10-12)^2 / 12]  +   [ (25-25)^2 / 25 ]  +  [(10-17.5)^2 / 17.5 ]  + [(15-7.5)^2 / 7.5]  =  17.03  

p-value = 0.0019

Df = 4  ,

The level of significance ( 0.05 ) > p-value ( 0.0019 )

B) There is no dependence between the two ratings

A circle has a center at A (4,5), Determine the radius of the circle given two end points of the circle are B (9,5) and C (-1,5)
Anna71 [15]

ANSWER :

The center-radius form of the circle equation is in the format (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2, with the center being at the point (h, k) and the radius being "r". This form of the equation is helpful, since you can easily find the center and the radius.
