Answer: Cup-$14, Saucer-$6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cup and saucer costs $20.5

A cup and two saucer costs $27

Assume the price of cup and saucer are x and y

So, we can write

$\Rightarrow x+y=20.5\quad \ldots(i)\\\\\Rightarrow x+2y=27\quad \ldots(ii)$

Solving $(i)\ \text{and}\ (ii)$ we get

$x=\$\ 14, y=\$\ 6.5$

Thus, the cost of the cup is $14 and that of the saucer is $6.5

A deer population is declining by 2.2% per year. The population can be modelled using the formula p = 240(0.978)n , where P is t

Answer:

The current deer population is 240.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression given models a exponential decay follows:

$p(n) = 240*(0.978)^n$

For every year that passes since the beginning of the count the population is 0.978 of the year prior. Assuming that the count starts at this year, then "n" is equal to 0, applying this value of n to the formula gives us:

$p(0) = 240*(0.978)^0\\p(0) = 240*1 = 240$

The current deer population is 240.

A credit reporting agency claims that the mean credit card debt in a town is greater than $3500. A random sample of the credit c

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Claim is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Claim : A credit reporting agency claims that the mean credit card debt in a town is greater than $3500.

$H_0:\mu \leq 3500\\H_a:\mu = 3500$

n = 20

Since n <30

So we will use t test

Formula : $t =\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$

s = standard deviation = 391

x = 3600

n = 20

$t =\frac{3600-3500}{\frac{391}{\sqrt{20}}}$

$t =1.14$

Degree of freedom = n-1 = 20-1 = 19

α=0.10

So, using t table

$t_({\frac{\alpha}{2},d.f.})$ = 1.72

t critical > t calculated

So we accept the null hypothesis

Hence we reject the claim that the mean credit card debt in a town is greater than $3500.
