Help! Need by 10:30 to turn in and I'm confused!

Answer:

8 boxes of tissues

5 bags of cough drops

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to write a system of equations.

x = number of tissue boxes

y = number of cough drop bags

x (number of tissue boxes) + y (number of cough drop bags) = 13 (total number of tissues and cough drops combined.

So, your first equation is

x + y = 13

Then, you need to write the second equation.

(1.69 [cost of 1 tissue box] * [number of tissue boxes]) + (1.19 [cost of one bag of cough drops] * [number of cough drop bags] = 19.47 [total cost of tissues and cough drops]

That's a lot to read, so here's the equation simplified!

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

Now, you have two equations:

x + y = 13

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

I would solve with the substitution method.

the first equation can be changed to x = 13 - y by subtracting y from both sides.

Then, your two equations are:

x = 13 - y

1.69x + 1.19y = 19.47

Now, you can plug in that value of x into the second equation!

1.69(13 - y) + 1.19y = 19.47

21.97 - 1.69y + 1.19y = 19.47

subtract 21.97 from both sides

-1.69y + 1.19y = -2.5

Add the y values

-0.5y = -2.5

divide both sides by -0.5

so, y equals 5 bags of cough drops

now that you know what y equals, plug it back into your original equation to find x!

x + y = 13

plug in y

x + 5 = 13

x = 8

so, x = 8 boxes of tissues

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!

A random sample of n people selected from a large population will be asked whether they have read a novel in the past year. Let
kozerog [31]

Answer:

b. A binomial variable with 25 independent trials

Step-by-step explanation:

The conducted experiment is binomial experiment because outcome can be divided into success or failure. The success would be the people who read novel in the past year and also responses are independent of each other. We have to find the number of trials n in the given problem.

we are given that variance of R=6 and p=probability of success=0.4.

We know that variance of binomial distribution is

Variance=npq

where q=1-p=1-0.4=0.6.

By putting the values in variance formula, we can get the value of n.

6=n*0.4*0.6

6=0.24*n

n=6/0.24

n=25

Hence, random variable R is a binomial variable with 25 independent trials.

Someone help please:
frozen [14]

Answer:

The sharing cone holds about 9 times more popcorn than the skinny cone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cone volume:

V = \frac{\pi r^{2}h}{3}

r is the radius and h is the inches.

Skinny-size cone:

Radius is r, height h. So

V_{sk} = \frac{\pi r^{2}h}{3}

Sharing size:

Radius is now 3r. So

V_{sh} = \frac{\pi (3r)^{2}h}{3} = \frac{9\pi r^{2}h}{3} = 3\pi r^{2}h

How many times more popcorn?

r = \frac{V_{sh}}{V_{sk}} = \frac{3\pi r^{2}h}{\frac{\pi r^{2}h}{3}} = \frac{3*3\pi r^{2}h}{\pi r^{2}h} = 9

The sharing cone holds about 9 times more popcorn than the skinny cone.

Which of these numbers is between 5/6 and 1?<br> (A) 4/5 <br> (B) 4/7 <br> (C)6/7
djverab [1.8K]
Two basic ways in which to do this problem:

1.  Find and apply the LCD.

2.  Convert all of the given numbers to their decimal form, to 2 or 3 places only.

Try #2 first:

5/6 = 0.83    

4/5 = 0.80 is not between 5/6 and 1.  Reject it.
4/7 = 0.57 Reject
6/7 = 0.86 This is between 5/6 and1.  This is the answer.
