Answer:

tall candles = 39

Short candles = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

let tall candles be x

and short candles be y

No. Of candles sold = x + y =91

Money made from candles will be equal to = 8x + 5y = $572

These both are simultaneous linear equations.

x + y =91 ( multiply by 5)

5x + 5y = 455

8x + 5y = $572

Subtract them:

-3x = -117

x = -117/3

x = 39

put value of x in

x + y = 91

39 + y = 91

y = 91 - 39

y = 52

x shows tall candles so they are 39

y shows short candles so they are 52

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The mean is 0.32 and the standard deviation is 0.0122.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Tampa Times polled 1,457 adults in the city to determine whether they put on their shirt before they put on their pants.

Of the respondents, 48% said they put their shirt on first.

32% of all adults actually put their shirt on first

i.e. sample proportion is 48% while population proportion is 32%

Hence sampling distribution follows a distribution with mean = population proportion p

Hence here mean = 0.32

Std deviation of sampling distribution = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.32(0.68)}{1457} } \\=0.0122

Hence option 3) The mean is 0.32 and the standard deviation is 0.0122.

is right
