Answer:

A) Cereal brand A

B) There is no table.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) divide each cereal price by the amount of ounces. Brand A is $0.13888 (rounds to $0.14). B is $0.14583 (rounds to $0.15) So, since cereal band A is less cost per ounce, its cheaper

B) This question cannot be answered, since there is no table.

Identify a possible first step using the elimination method to solve the system and then find the solution to the system. 3x - 5

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - 5y = - 2 → (1)

2x + y = 3 → (2)

Multiply (2) by 5 will eliminate y when added to (1), that is

10x + 5y = 15 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term

(3x + 10x) + (- 5y + 5y) = (- 2 + 15)

13x = 13 ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into (2) for corresponding value of y

2 + y = 3 ⇒ y = 3 - 2 = 1

Solution is (1, 1)

The Frosty Ice-Cream Shop sells sundaes for $2 and banana splits for $3. On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than

svlad2 [7]

The shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the number of sundaes sold

Let "b" be the number of banana spilts sold

Cost of 1 sundaes = $ 2

Cost of 1 banana spilt = $ 3

<em><u>On a hot summer day, the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana splits and made $156</u></em>

Therefore,

Number of sundaes sold = 8 + number of banana spilts sold

a = 8 + b ------- eqn 1

<em><u>Also, given that they made $ 156</u></em>

<em><u>Therefore, we frame a equation as</u></em>:

Number of sundaes sold x Cost of 1 sundaes + number of banana spilts sold x Cost of 1 banana spilt = 156

$a \times 2+b \times 3 = 156$

2a + 3b = 156 ---------- eqn 2

<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 into eqn 2</u></em>

2(8 + b) + 3b = 156

16 + 2b + 3b = 156

16 + 5b = 156

5b = 156 - 16

5b = 140

<em><u>Substitute b = 28 in eqn 1</u></em>

a = 8 + 28

Thus the shop sold 36 sundaes and 28 banana spilts

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the mean and the standard deviation of variable x are given as follows:

$\mu = 3, \sigma = 0.87$

<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>

It is the probability of exactly <u>x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u> of a success on each trial.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

In this problem, we have that the parameters are given as follows:

n = 4, p = 0.75.

Hence the mean and the standard deviation are given as follows:

E(X) = np = 4 x 0.75 = 3.

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{4 \times 0.75 \times 0.25} = 0.87$
