Answer:

Cleanser that costs 50 cents is 1400 liters, Cleanser that costs 80 cents is 600 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using <em>simultaneous equations</em>:

  1. Let us express the question in terms of equations

Let a be cleanser at 50 cents and let b be the cleanser at 80 cents.

Equation 1: 0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)

Equation 2: a + b = 2000

From equation 2, a = 2000 - b (Let's call this equation 3)

    2. Substituting equations 2 and 3 in Equation 1:

0.5a + 0.8b = 0.59(a+b)

0.5(2000 - b) + 0.8b = 0.59(2000)

1000 - 0.5b + 0.8b = 1180

0.3b = 180

b = 600

Substitute in equation 3:

a = 2000 - 600

a = 1400

As a note, I formed equation 1 because I know for a fact the cost per liter of a and b. I also know it is sold at 0.59 cents per liter. We are selling 2000 liters in this instance, therefore 0.59(2000) = 1180, which in this case is the selling price.

Arthur is interested in the effects of sleep deprivation usage on number of calories consumed. He asks a group of 20 college stu
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Arthur knows that there is a difference among the groups somewhere, but he does not know where

Step-by-step explanation:

An ANOVA test is a test to find out whether the results of an experiment or a survey are significant or not. ANOVA test helps the researcher or the experimenter to decide whether they reject the null hypothesis or accept the alternate hypothesis in the experiment. In ANOVA test, the experimenter wants to find if there is a difference between them or not.

In the context, Arthur is doing a study and he wishes to find out effect of a sleep deprivation on the number of the calories that people consumed. He collects some data from his subject group from the sleep lab and after running the ANOVA test, he finds out that he can reject the null hypothesis. So on this basis, Arthur knows that there is some basic difference among the members of the group somewhere, but he does not know where actually the difference is.

Find the equation of the plane z = mx + ny + b which contains the points (0,0,6), (1,0,-3) and (0,2,5).
leonid [27]
The three points give you three equations, which you can solve by your favorite method.
.. 0m +0n +b = 6
.. 1m +0n +b = -3
.. 0m +2n +b = 5

(m, n, b) = (-9, -1/2, 6)
so the equation of the plane can be written as
.. z = -9x -1/2y +6

_____
In standard form, this would be
.. 18x +y +2z = 12
