The work of a student to solve a set of equations is shown below: Equation 1: x + 2y = 10 Equation 2: 2x + 5y = 15 Step 1: −2(x

+ 2y) = −2(10) 2x + 5y = 15 Step 2: −2x − 4y = −10 2x + 5y = 15 Step 3: 1y = 5 Step 4: x + 2(1) = 10 Step 5: x = 8 In which step did the student first make an error?

 −2x − 4y = −10 2x + 5y = 15

Answer:

Step 2 has error and step 4 has error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can see that elimination method is  applied to solve the  system  of equations  for which -2 is multiplied both sides of equation first

-2(x+2y)=-2(10 which is correct

but in step 2

left side is -2x-4y and the right side is -10 which has to be -20 which makes this step wrong and this is the error made by student.

in Step 4 also ,value of the y has to be 5 but student plugged y =1 which is also error by student.

Correct solution is

    -2x-4y= -20

      2x+ 5y= 15

on adding ,we get

 y = -5

plugging y =5 in equation x+2y= 10 ,we get x+2(-5) =10 ,we get x = 20

therefore (20,-5) is the  solution

A local grocery store chain has a sushi stand. That sushi stand makes samples for store customers to entice customers to purchas
Liula [17]

Answer: 0.99822

Step-by-step explanation:

Our inter-arrival time follows Poisson distribution with parameter 14 which is in hour so first we have to calculate this in minutes as we have to calculate probability in minutes.

So converting 14 into minutes will give  \frac{14}{60}=0.233

Let X=inter-arrival time between two customers

and here \lambda = 0.233

Probability(X is less than or equal to 2 minutes) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)

Now the Poisson distribution has PDF = \frac{\exp ^{-\lambda }\times \lambda ^{X}}{X!}

So P(X = 0) = \frac{\exp ^{-0.233}\times 0.233^{0}}{0!} = 0.79215

P(X= 1) = \frac{\exp ^{-0.233}\times 0.233^{1}}{1!} = 0.18457

P(X=2) = \frac{\exp ^{-0.233}\times 0.233^{2}}{2!} = 0.02150

Now adding all three probability gives =  0.79215 +0.18457 + 0.02150=0.99822

Identify the lower class​ limits, upper class​ limits, class​ width, class​ midpoints, and class boundaries for the given freque
maw [93]

Answer:

The number of individuals included in the summary is 146.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency distribution table provided is as follows:

Class Intervals    Frequency

    100 - 199               24

   200 - 299              90

   300 - 399              27

   400 - 499                1

   500 - 599               4

The lower class limit it the smallest value of each class interval.

Lower class limit = {100, 200, 300, 400, 500}

The upper class limit it the highest value of each class interval.

Upper class limit = {199, 299, 399, 499, 599}

The lower class boundaries are the lower class limits decreased by 0.5 and the upper class boundaries are the upper class limits increased by 0.5.

Class boundaries:

   99.5 - 199.5  

  199.5 - 299.5

  299.5 - 399.5

  399.5 - 499.5

  499.5 - 599.5

The class width is the difference between the class boundaries of each class.

Class width = 199.5 - 99.5 = 100

So, the class width is 100.

The midpoints of a class is the average value of the boundaries of a class.

\text{Midpoint}_{100-199}=\frac{\text{Lower class boundary} + \text{Upper class boundary}}{2}\\

                         =\frac{99.5+199.5}{2}\\\\=149.5

\text{Midpoint}_{200-299}=\frac{\text{Lower class boundary} + \text{Upper class boundary}}{2}\\

                         =\frac{199.5+299.5}{2}\\\\=249.5

\text{Midpoint}_{300-399}=\frac{\text{Lower class boundary} + \text{Upper class boundary}}{2}\\

                         =\frac{299.5+399.5}{2}\\\\=349.5

\text{Midpoint}_{400-499}=\frac{\text{Lower class boundary} + \text{Upper class boundary}}{2}\\

                         =\frac{399.5+499.5}{2}\\\\=449.5

\text{Midpoint}_{500-599}=\frac{\text{Lower class boundary} + \text{Upper class boundary}}{2}\\

                         =\frac{499.5+599.5}{2}\\\\=549.5

The number of individuals included in the summary is the sum of all frequencies.

\text{Number of Individuals}=24 + 90 + 27 + 1 + 4=146

Thus, the number of individuals included in the summary is 146.
