Sam wants to buy 8 pencils and 6 pens, which cost a total of $8.50. He realizes he doesn't have enough cash and instead takes on

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

X = pencils, y = pens

8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75

4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50

An environmental science teacher at a high school with a large population of students wanted to estimate the proportion of stude

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

60 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval of a proportion is given by:

$p\pm z*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }$

Where 'p' is the proportion of students who responded 'yes', 'z' is the z-score for a 95% confidence interval (which is known to be 1.960), and 'n' is the number of students in the sample.

If the confidence interval is from 0.584 to 0.816, then:

$p=\frac{0.584+0.816}{2}=0.7 \\0.816-0.584=2*(1.96*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}) \\0.116=1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.7*(1-0.7)}{n}}\\n=16.8966^2*(0.7*0.3)\\n=60\ students$

60 students were in the sample.

Sliva [168]

Do the following:

$8.40-$7.15=$1.25
Then divide 1.25 by the difference of tickets which is 3
1.25/3=0.42 (that's rounded to nearest cent)
