X + Y = 18
X=chickens, Y=Cows
2x + 4y = 60
Let's try 8 and 10.
16 + 40=56, no, 32+20=52, no. 8&10 do not work.
Let's try 9 and 9.
18+36=54, no. 9&9 do not work.
Let's try 11 & 7.
22+28=50, no. 14+44=58, no.
Let's try 12 & 6.
24+24=48, no. 12+48=60 YES!

Answer: D. To produce treatment groups with similar characteristics

Step-by-step explanation:

By using randomization in sampling, the Sample would be more representative of the Population it is based off of because different demographic characteristics may be picked.

This leads to a situation where the groups have similar characteristics between themselves thereby making it easier for comparison. For example, Group 1 would have certain types of people that will be represented in Group 2 and Group 3 as well. That way the effects of the drug can be properly studied as it affects different people. For instance, say there are 4 obese people in a sample of 10, instead of group one having all obese people, randomization may be able to give group one, 2 obese people and 2 obese people to group 2 as well. That way when comparing, the effects of the drug on the two groups is easier to be compared because the two groups have similar people.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount of gift card = $80

Cost of coffee per pound = $8.24

Amount left in the card = $38.80

To find:

Number of pounds of coffee bought = ?

Solution:

Let the number of pounds of the coffee bought = x pounds

Cost of 1 pound = $8.24

Cost of x pounds = $8.24 \times x

Writing the equation as per question statement:

80 - 8.24x = 38.80\\\Rightarrow 80 - 38.80 = 8.24x\\\Rightarrow  8.24x = 41.2\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{41.2}{8.24}\\\Rightarrow \bold{x = 5\ pounds}

Therefore, 5 pounds of coffee was bought.
