Krista was assigned a homework problem that stated there were 45 stamps purchased for $18.75. Some stamps were 40 cents, and som

e stamps were 55 cents. To solve this problem, she wrote the system of equations that is shown below. 0.40 x + y = 45. x + 0.55 y = 18.75. Which explains the error that Krista made? Krista put 0.40 in the first equation meant for the number of stamps. Krista put 0.55 in the second equation meant for the value of stamps. Krista did not use the correct decimal to represent the total cost of the stamps. Krista mistakenly put 45 in the first equation when it should have been in the second equation.

Answer: Krista put 0.40 in the first equation meant for the number of stamps

Step-by-step explanation: From the information available to Krista, she can determine the number of stamps that cost 40 cents and those that cost 55 cents. What she needs is a system of simultaneous equations both of which would use the total number of stamps and the total cost of stamps to determine the how many stamps cost 40 cents and how many costs 55 cents.

The system of equations should have been,

x + y = 45 ----------(1)

0.40x + 0.55y = 18.75 ----------(2)

From equation (1), let x be the subject of the equation and hence x = 45 - y

Substitute for the value of x into equation (2)

0.40(45 - y) + 0.55y = 18.75

18 - 0.40y + 0.55y = 18.75

Collect like terms and you now have

0.55y - 0.40y = 18.75 - 18

0.15y = 0.75

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.15

y = 5

When y has been calculated as 5, substitute for the value of y into equation (1)

x + y = 45

x + 5 = 45

x = 45 - 5

x = 40

The results show that the stamps that cost 0.40 cents (x) were 40 in number while those that cost 0.55 cents (y) were 5 in number.

This answer could not have been derived due to the mistake Krista committed when writing the equations.

The measure of the exterior angle of the triangle is what degree?
RSB [31]

Answer:

92°

Step-by-step explanation:

By exterior angle theorem:

(2x - 2) \degree = x \degree + 45 \degree \\  \\ (2x - 2 - x) \degree = 45 \degree \\  \\ (x - 2) \degree = 45 \degree \\  \\ (x - 2)  = 45 \\  \\ x = 45 + 2 \\  \\ x = 47 \\  \\ (2x - 2) \degree  = (2 \times 47 - 2)\degree  \\  \\ (2x - 2) \degree  = (94 - 2)\degree   \\  \\ (2x - 2) \degree  = 92\degree   \\  \\ measure  \: of  \: the  \: exterior \:  angle \\  = 92 \degree

Which of the following is NOT true for a hypothesis test for​ correlation? Choose the correct answer below. A. If ​|r|less than
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Answer explained

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information, the true statements for a hypothesis test for correlation is,

If the​ P-value is less than or equal to the significance​ level, we should reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation.

If |r| less than or equals critical value, we should fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation.

If the​ P-value is greater than the significance​ level, we should fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation.

<u>Explanation</u>

According to the decision rule of P-value approach, observe that if the​ P-value is less than or equal to the significance​ level, then there is evidence to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation.

Similarly, if the​ P-value is greater than the significance​ level, we should fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation.

According to the critical value approach, observe that if the test statistic value is greater than the critical value, then there is evidence to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation.

- If |r| greater than critical value, we should fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation.  

<u>Explanation </u>

Based on the decision rules of the hypothesis test, the false statement about the test for a correlation is, if |r| less than or equals critical value, we should fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim of a linear correlation.
