Answer:

$100

Step-by-step explanation:

1st q. 2nd q. 3rd q. 4th q. 5th q

x. 2x. 3(2x)=6x. 4(6x)=24x. 5(24x)=120x

100. 200. 600. 2400. 12000

since the 5th q was worth 12000 we know:

120x = 12000

x = 100

2x + y = 350
x + 2y = 475 
3x + 3y = 825
x + y = 275
x = 275 - y 
(plug back into first equation) 
2(275 - y) + y = 350
550 - 2y + y = 350 
550 - y = 350
-y =-200 or y = $200 (dog)
therefore, x = $75 (cats)
Check
2(75) + 200 = 350
75 + 400 = 475

A nutrition laboratory wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean sodium content of "reduced sodium" hot dogs. A
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

n > 96

Therefore, the number of samples should be more than 96 for the width of their confidence interval to be no more than 10mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Standard deviation r= 25mg

Width of confidence interval w= 10mg

Confidence interval of 95%

Margin of error E = w/2 = 10mg/2 = 5mg

Z at 95% = 1.96

Margin of error E = Z(r/√n)

n = (Z×r/E)^2

n = (1.96 × 25/5)^2

n = (9.8)^2

n = 96.04

n > 96

Therefore, the number of samples should be more than 96 for the width of their confidence interval to be no more than 10mg

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! GIVING (17 POINTS)
bija089 [108]

Answer:

61.)   A, B, A

62.) 120 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

61.) 48 is a multiple of 6. A multiple is a number which can be fully divided into another number (divded without remainder). Therefore, 48 is a multiple of 6 because 6 * 8 = 48 meaning that 48/6 would equal 8. Because there is no remainder, Carly can put the beads into 6 equal groups.

62.) This is a simple conversion problem. Since they are asking the amount of minutes, you need to convert 2 hours to minutes. You do not need to calculate it or set up a formula because there are 60 minutes in one hour, therore, in 2 hours there are 120 minutes (60 minutes + 60 minutes).
