Answer:

$2.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantity of the 1st type of candy be x lb and that of the second type − y lb with the price of $ p/lb.

Then, x=5y/12 or y=2.4x.

The "total price" equation will be: 4.6x + 2.4xp = 3.4(x+2.4x).  

Solving for p, we get p = $2.90.

Alex777 [14]

Complete question :

A zoologist is interested in whether climate affects how high kangaroos can jump. In a random sample of gray kangaroos from an Australian forest, he found the mean jump height was x¯=286 inches with a margin of error of 15 inches.

Construct a confidence interval for the mean jump height of gray kangaroos.

Answer:

(271, 301)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (x¯) = 286

Margin of Error = 15 inches

The confidence interval :

(Mean - Margin of Error), (mean + margin of error)

(286 - 15), (286 + 15)

(271, 301)

Hence confidence interval equals : (271, 301)

Let the final score of White Sox = x

the final score of Marlins = y

White Sox won by 2 runs. Thus
x = y +2

White Sox had twice as many runs as Marlins
x = 2y

From the equations,
2y = y + 2

=> 2y - y = 2

=> y = 2

x = 2y = 2×2 = 4

Hence, final score of

White Sox = 4

Marlins = 2
