Answer:

Diego will finish first while Lin and Elena would finish reading their book at the same time

Step-by-step explanation:

Rates Lin, Diego, and Elena are competing to see who can finish their book the fastest.

Their rates is calculated as:

For Lin

Lin read the first 54 pages from a 270-page book in the first 3 days.

54 pages = 3 days

270 pages = x

Cross Multiply

54x = 270 × 3

x = 270 × 3/54

x = 15 days

For Diego

Diego read the first 100 pages from a 320-page book in the first 4 days.

100 pages = 4 days

320 pages = x days

Cross Multiply

100x = 320 × 4

x = 320 × 4/100

x = 12.8 days

For Elena

Elena read the first 160 pages from a 480-page book in the first 5 days.

160 pages = 5 days

480 pages = x days

Cross Multiply

160x = 480 × 5

x = 480 × 5/160

x = 15 days

If they continue to read every day at these rates, who will finish first, second, and third?

Diego will finish reading his book first while Lin and Elena would finish reading their book at the same time

Answer:

We need a sample size of at least 719

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.025 = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How large a sample size is required to vary population mean within 0.30 seat of the sample mean with 95% confidence interval?

This is at least n, in which n is found when $M = 0.3, \sigma = 4.103$ . So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.3 = 1.96*\frac{4.103}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.3\sqrt{n} = 1.96*4.103$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*4.103}{0.3}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*4.103}{0.3})^{2}$

$n = 718.57$

A movie theater sold 4 adult tickets and 7 children's tickets for $83 on friday the next day the theater sold 5 adult tickets an

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: An adult ticket cost $12

A child ticket cost $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price for one adult ticket.

Let y represent the price for one child ticket.

A movie theater sold 4 adult tickets and 7 children's tickets for $83 on Friday. It means that

4x + 7y = 83 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The next day the theater sold 5 adult tickets and 6 children tickets for $90. It means that

5x + 6y = 90 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 4, it becomes

20x + 35y = 415

20x + 24y = 360

Subtracting, it becomes

11y = 55

y = 55/11 = 5

Substituting y = 5 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 7 × 5 = 83

4x + 35 = 83

4x = 83 - 35 = 48

x = 48/4 = 12
