Answer:The blue line is the tangent line that passes through the point (0.75, 0.25). The point on the tangent line is (3, 4). The gradient of the curve is approximately 0.6. Note: Parallel lines have the same gradient.

The Miller family visited Mama's Kitchen and ordered 4 hamburgers and 3 medium fries and paid $18.69. James ordered a medium dri

sergij07 [2.7K]

To answer the question, let x be the cost of each hamburger, y be the cost of each medium fries, and z be the cost of each medium drink. The equations that are described in the problem are,
(Miller ) 4x + 3y = 18.69
(James) x + 2y + z = 8.66
(Steven) 2x + y + z = 10.27
Solving simultaneously for the values of the variables give x = 3.36, y = 1.75, and z = 1.8.
Thus, each hamburger costs $3.36. Each medium fries cost $1.75, and each drink costs $1.8.

$10.83 because you need to divide 6.50 by .6 to get that answer approximately.

The photography club decided to go on a field trip to the Andy Warhol museum. They had to break into smaller groups once they go

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

A)
Let x represent the cost of 1 student, and y the cost of 1 teacher.

B)
In the first group, there's 25 students and 2 teachers. Their total cost is $97.50
So 25x + 2y = 97.50
In the second group, there's 32 students and 3 teachers. Their total cost is $127
So 32x + 3y = 127

We get the following system of equations:
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)

C)
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)

In equation (1)
25x + 2y = 97.50
25x + 2y - 2y = 97.50 - 2y
25x = 97.50 - 2y
25x / 25 = 97.50/25 - 2y/25
x = 3.9 - (2/25)y

In equation (2), let's replace x by its algebraic value
32x + 3y = 127
32(-2/25y + 3.9) + 3y = 127
11/25y + 124.8 = 127
11/25y + 124.8 - 124.8 = 127 - 124.8
11/25y = 2.2
(11/25y) / (11/25) = 2.2 / (11/25)
y = 5

x = -2/25y + 3.9
x = -2/25 * 5 + 3.9
x = 3.5

So the cost of each student is $3.5, and the cost of each teacher is $5.

Hope this helps! :)

A researcher tests five individuals who have seen paid political ads about a particular issue. These individuals take a multiple

devlian [24]

Answer:

$t=\frac{46-40}{\frac{5.148}{\sqrt{5}}}=2.606$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=5-1=4$

The p value wuld be given by:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(4)}>2.606)=0.060$

For this case the p value is higher than the significance level so then we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from 40

The distribution with the critical values are in the figure attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

48, 41, 40, 51, and 50

The sample mean and deviation can be calculated with these formulas:

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

$s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

$\bar X=46$ represent the mean height for the sample

$s=5.148$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=5$ sample size

$\mu_o =40$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test

Hypothesis to test

We want to test if the true mean for this case is equal to 40, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 40$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 40$

The statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

Replacing we got:

$t=\frac{46-40}{\frac{5.148}{\sqrt{5}}}=2.606$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=5-1=4$

The p value wuld be given by:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(4)}>2.606)=0.060$

For this case the p value is higher than the significance level so then we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly different from 40

The distribution with the critical values are in the figure attached

Jenny washed dishes 4 times as many as her brother last month. Her brother washed dishes 8 times. Jenny said she could multiply

Julli [10]

Jenny is incorrect in her calculation.

For every time that Jenny's brother washed dishes, Jenny washed dishes 4 times. This tells that the the times they washed dishes occur in the ratio 4 :1. If Jenny's brother washed dishes 8 times, Jenny has to have washed dishes $4\times 8=32$ times. The way Jenny's is doing the calculation implies that his brother washed dishes $3*\times 8 =24$ times. He calculation yields a wrong result.
