An office manager reported that he spent $350 on gifts for employees. He said that $240 was spent on clothing with each man rece

iving a $20 T-shirt and each woman receiving a $40 sweatshirt. He said that $110 was spent on desk accessories with each man receiving a $5 calendar and each woman receiving a $15 stapler. If m equals the number of men and wequals the number of women, the system of equations that represents the expenses is as follows:
m+2w=12

m+3w=22

Solve the system, showing all steps, and then discuss the reasonableness of the answer.

Answer:

The correct answer is the solution of the system of equations are w = 10 and m = -8. The answer is not at all reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two system of equations are m + 2w = 12 and m + 3w = 22 where m and w represent the number of men and women working in an office.

We subtract both the sides with each other in order to solve the system of equation.

⇒ m + 3w - m - 2w = 22 - 12

⇒ w = 10.

⇒ m = -8.

The values of w and m are not reasonable at all. Since m and w represent the number of men and women in an office, they cannot be less than zero.

1. A random sample of 2,000 households are selected for telephone interviews with the following results: 432 Completed interview
fenix001 [56]

The response rate is 52.021%.

Given a random sample of 2,000 households are selected for telephone interviews in which 432 interviews are completed, 586 are refused by the respondent, 902 do not answer or are not at home and 80 are non-working numbers.

Total Number of sample, S =2000

Completed interview, C = 432

Refusal by the Respondent, R = 586

No answer/ not at home , N = 902.

Non - working Numbers, NW = 80.

From the above data, we got responses from completed interviews and refusals by respondents.

so responded number (RN) is

RN=C+R

RN= 432+ 586

RN= 1018.

The actual number of samples =Total samples - non-working samples Actual number of samples=2000-80

The actual number of samples=1920

And the response rate (RR) is

RR=1018÷1920

RR=0.52021

Hence, the response rate from 2000 households which are selected for telephone interviews is 0.52021.
