Answer:

85 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the price of pineapples

Let p represent the price of peaches

74p + 9a= 14p + 21a

p = 17 cents

Substitute 17 for p

74(17) + 9a = 14(17) + 21a

1258+9a= 238+21a

1258-238= 21a-9a

1020= 12a

a= 1020/12

a= 85

Hence the price of pineapples is 85 cents

What is the value of hin the figure below? In this diagram, ABAD ~ ACBD.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

  F.  8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the long side to the short side is the same in similar triangles. The long side of triangle BAD is AD, which has length 20-4 = 16.

  BD/DE = AD/BD

  h/4 = 16/h

  h^2 = 64 . . . . . . . multiply by 4h

  h = 8 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root (matches selection F)

_____

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>

BD = √(AD·DC) is called the "geometric mean" of the segments AD and DC. This geometry has some other geometric mean relationships as well:

BC = √(AC·DC)

BA = √(AC·AD)

A hypothesis test was used to see if less than 5% of all Americans would still drive to work if gas prices went above $10.00 a g
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The correct option is;

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we note that the proportion of the test statistic which is used in the test is 5% and the P-value for the test is 0.03

The hypothesis test is meant to check if people will still drive to work when the gas prices are above $10.00 and the suggestion was that we can conclude that when the fuel price is above $5.00 everyone would still drive to work without a P-value for the test, hence we can not come to the stated conclusion.

kipiarov [429]

The data in the question seems a bit erroneous. I am writing the correct question below:

A manufacturer of processing chips knows that 2%, percent of its chips are defective in some way. Suppose an inspector randomly selects 4 chips for an inspection. Assuming the chips are independent, what is the probability that at least one of the selected chips is defective? Lets break this problem up into smaller pieces to understand the strategy behind solving it.

Answer:

The probability that at least one of the selected chips is defective is 0.0776.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question states that the probability of defective chips is 2% i.e. 0.02. Let p denote the probability of selecting a defective chip so, p = 0.02

An inspector selects 4 chips, which means n=4 and we need to compute the probability that at least one of the selected chips is defective. Let X be the number of defective chips selected. We need to compute P(X≥1) which means either 1, 2, 3 or 4 chips can be defective.

We will use the binomial distribution formula to solve this problem. The formula is:

<u>P(X=x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ</u>

where n = total no. of trials

          p = probability of success

          x = no. of successful trials

          q = probability of failure = 1-p

we have n=4, p=0.02 and q=1-0.02=0.98.

We need to compute P(X≥1) which is equal to:

P(X≥1) = P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4)

A shorter method to do this is to use the total probability theorem:

P(X≥1) = 1 - P(X<1)

          = 1 - P(X=0)

          = 1 - ⁴C₀ (0.02)⁰(0.98)⁴⁻⁰

          = 1 - (0.98)⁴

          = 1 - 0.9224

P(X≥1) = 0.0776
