Answer:

The cost of one shirt is $16 and the cost of one sweater is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one shirt be x and the cost of one shirt be y.

7x + 4y = 192 -----Equation 1

8x + 7y = 268 -----Equation 2

Equations 2-1:

8x + <em>7y</em> - 7x <em>- 4y</em> = 268 - 192

x + 3y = 76

x = 76-3y -----Equation 3

Subsitute x = 76-3y into Equation 1:

7x + 4y = 192

7(76-3y) + 4y = 192

532 - 21y + 4y = 192

532 - 17y = 192

-17y = 192-532

-17y = -340

17y = 340

y = 340 ÷ 17

y = 20 (The cost of one sweater is $20)

Substitute y = 20 into Equation 3:

x = 76-3y

x = 76 -3(20)

x = 76 - 60

x = 16 (The cost of one shirt is $16)

A study investigated whether price affects people's judgment. Twenty people each tasted six cabernet sauvignon wines and rated h
patriot [66]

Answer:

t=5.5080( to 3 d.p)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the data given,

n =20

Deviation= 34/20= 1.7

Standard deviation (sd)= 1.3803(√Deviation)

Standard Error = sd/√n

= 1.3803/V20 = 0.3086

Test statistic is:

t = deviation /SE

= 1.7/0.3086 = 5.5080

ndf = 20 - 1 = 19

alpha = 0.01

One Tailed - Right Side Test

From Table, critical value of t =2.5395

Since the calculated value of t = 5.5080 is greater than critical value of t = 2.5395, the difference is significant. Reject null hypothesis.

t score = 5.5080

ndf = 19

One Tail - Right side Test

By Technology, p - value = 0.000

Since p - value is less than alpha , reject null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

From the result obtained it can be concluded that ,the data support the claim that the mean rating assigned to the wine when the cost is described as $90 is greater than the mean rating assigned to the wine when the cost is described as $10.
