Answer:

The pecans used in the mixture =  8 kg

The almonds used in the mixture  =  17 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of per kg of pecans  = $28.50

The cost of per kg of almonds = $22.25

Now, total weight of mixture  = 25 kg

Let us assume the weight of pecans in the mixture   =   m kg

So, the amount of almonds in the mixture  = Total weight - Weight of Pecans

= (25 - m) kg

Now, cost of m kg pecans  = m x ( cost of 1 kg pecans) = m x ( $ 28.50)

                                              =  28.50 m

cost of (25- m) kg almonds  = (25 -m)  x ( cost of 1 kg almonds)

                                                = (25 - m) x ( $ 22.25)

                                                =  556.25  - 22.25 m

Total cost  of 25 kg of mixture  = 25 x ( $24.25) =  $606.25

Now, Total Cost of (almonds  + Pecans)  = Total cost of mixture

⇒28.50 m + 556.25  - 22.25 m  = $606.25

or,6.25 m =  50

or, m = 50/6.25 =  8

Hence, the pecans used in the mixture = m = 8 kg

And the  almonds used in the mixture  = (25 - m) = 25 - 8 = 17 kg

Which inequality BEST represents the number of days, d, she practices?
tino4ka555 [31]

Because there is a closed dot, you need to use either less than or equal to or greater than or equal to. And because it’s pointing to left and getting smaller, d is less than or equal to 5.

Dr. Hilton uses the graph to determine if a patient has a
seropon [69]

Answer:

At least 100 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make an inequality assertion from the graph drawn by Dr Hilton.

The correct conclusion here is that a person has a fever once his/her temperature is greater than or equal to 100 degrees.

How do we know this from the graph? from the graph, we can see a yellow circular mark placed on 100. This indicates that we are starting our consideration from the point 100 degrees. What we don not know is if our answer is less than, greater than, less than or equal to or greater than or equal to.

The correct answer is however greater than or equal to. Firstly we check the fill of the yellow circular mark. Once it is filled and not left blank, then it indicates an equal to relationship, meaning 100 degrees itself is included in the range.

finally we then consider the direction it faces and from here we can conclude that it is greater than or equal to

Trials in an experiment with a polygraph include 97 results that include 23 cases of wrong results and 74 cases of correct resul
o-na [289]

Answer:

H0:p= 0.80                 H1: p< 0.80  one tailed test

Step-by-step explanation:

We state the null and alternative hypotheses as that the results are 80 % against the claim that the results are less than 80%.

H0:p= 0.80                 H1: p< 0.80  one tailed test

p2= 0.8 , p1= 74/97= 0.763

q1= 1-0.763= 0.237    q2= 0.2

The level of significance is 0.05 .

The Z∝= ±1.645 for ∝= 0.05

The test statistic used here is

Z= p1-p2/ √pq/n

Putting the values:

Z= 0.763 -0.8 / √ 0.8*0.2/97

z= -0.037/ 0.0406

z= -0.9113

The Z∝ = ±1.645 for ∝= 0.05 for one tailed test.

As the calculated value  does not fall in the critical region  we fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to support  the claim that such polygraph results are correct less than 80% of the time.

Using the normal probability table.

P (Z <  -0.9113)= 1- P(z= 0.9311) = 1- 0.8238= 0.1762

If P- value is smaller than the significance level reject H0.

0.1762> 0.005  Fail to reject H0.

Aimi is making Valentine’s Day cards for everyone in her class. She plans to use a whole sheet of paper for each of her 6 closes
DaniilM [7]
34 - 6 = 28
28 x 8 = 224

After making the 6 whole sheet of paper cards for her closest friends Aimi will have 28 pieces of paper left.

Since she wants to use 1/8 of a sheet per valentine (think of it as one piece of paper can make 8 valentines) you can do 28 pieces of paper multiplied by 8 which gives you 224 valentines.
