Answer:

7 cakes and 8 pies

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, write two equations: one for the total number and the other for the total sales.

Let c be the number of cakes.

Let p be the number of pies.

So c + p =15, the total sold.

And 5c + 7p = 91 for the total $ sales.

Solve by substitute one equation into another.

c + p = 15 becomes c = 15 - p. Substitute it into 5c + 7p = 91.

5(15-p) + 7p = 91

75 - 5p + 7p = 91

75 + 2p = 91

2p = 16

p=8

To find c, substitute p=8 into c = 15 - p.

c = 15 - 8

c = 7

The height of a volleyball, h, in feet, is given by h = −16t2 + 11t + 5.5, where t is the number of seconds after it has been hi
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

It will travel high enough

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the vertex of the parabola:

x=-b/2a

x=-11/2(-16)

x=-11/-32

x=11/32

Plug x=11/32 into quadratic to get the y-coordinate:

h=-16(11/32)^2+11(11/32)+5.5

h=7.391

Since 7.391>7.3, the volleyball will travel high enough (aka. yes)

Find the value of x in a triangle. x-20, x+10, x-20
tatyana61 [14]

The value of the angles should be. (x-40°). , (x-20°), (½x-10°) , not (x-40°) + (x-20°)+(½x-10°)

Sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

So a equation can be made by the given data,

(x-40°) + (x-20°) + (½ x-10°) = 180°

x-40°+x-20°+½x-10° = 180°

2x+½x -60°-10° = 180°

5/2 x - 70° = 180°

5/2 x = 180° + 70°

5/2 x = 250°

x = 250° × 2/5

x = 50° × 2

x = 100°

So the angles are

x-40° = 100°-40° = 60°

x-20° = 100°–20° = 80°

½x-10° = ½(100)° - 10° = 50° -10° = 40°

The answer can be checked by putting the values of the angle we got in the second statement i.e. Sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

60° + 80° + 40° = 100° + 80° = 180°

A researcher working in a Human Resources department was interested in gender and sales figures so he conducted a t-test. The me
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

d = \frac{78.24 -66.25}{\sqrt{\frac{7^2 +7^2}{2}}}= 1.713

For the interpretation we consider a value for d small is is between 0-0.2, medium if is between 0.2-0.8 and large if is higher than 0.8.

And on this case 1.713>0.8 so we have a large effect size

This value of d=1.713 are telling to us that the two groups differ by 1.713 standard deviation and we will have a significant difference between the two means.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The Effect size is a "quantitative measure of the magnitude of the experimenter effect. "

The Cohen's d effect size is given by  the following formula:

d = \frac{\bar X_1 -\bar X_2}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_1 +s^2_2}{2}}}

Solution to the problem

And for this case we can assume:

\bar X_1 =78.24 the mean for females

\bar X_2 =66.25 the mean for males

s_1 = s_2= 7 represent the deviations for both groups

And if we replace we got:

d = \frac{78.24 -66.25}{\sqrt{\frac{7^2 +7^2}{2}}}= 1.713

For the interpretation we consider a value for d small is is between 0-0.2, medium if is between 0.2-0.8 and large if is higher than 0.8.

And on this case 1.713>0.8 so we have a large effect size

This value of d=1.713 are telling to us that the two groups differ by 1.713 standard deviation and we will have a significant difference between the two means.

(0,4)<br> (3,-2)<br><br> The slope is m<br> and the y-intercept is b =
Rudiy27

Answer:

m = -2

y-intercept = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

so

m = -2-4/3-0

=-2

y=mx+b

Substitute the coordinates into the equation to find b

4=-2(0)+b

4=b

so y intercept is 4

y=-2x+4
