Number of small boxes shipped = 10

Number of large boxes shipped = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of small boxes

and

y be the number of large boxes

According to the first statement, a total of 22 boxes were shipped

Equation 1 will be:

x+y=22

And

According to 2nd statement, Total weight was 1350 and we know the weight of one small box is 45 and large box is 75

So equation 2 will be:

45x+75y=1350

We will use the substitution method for solving the equation

So from equation 1

Putting the value of x in eqn 2

Putting the value of y in eqn 1

So,

Number of small boxes shipped = 10

Number of large boxes shipped = 12 ..

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

a. 0.83

b. 44107.3

c. 2252.7

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The correlation coefficient is calculated as

byx=rSy/Sx

rSy=byx*Sx

⇒r=byx*Sx/Sy

Sy=standard deviation of y=standard deviation of current salary=15300

Sx=standard deviation of x=standard deviation of beginning salary=5970

byx=2.12

r=2.12*5970/15300

r=12656.4/15300

r=0.83

There is a strong positive correlation between current and beginning salary.

b)

Beginning salary=$22000

As

y^ =−2532.7 + 2.12x.

Current salary=-2532.7+2.12*beginning salary

Current salary=-2532.7+2.12*22000

Current salary=-2532.7+46640

Current salary=$44107.3

The predicted current salary of Mr. Joseph Keller is $44107.3.

c)

Residual=y-y^=Observed-Predicted

Observed Current Salary of Kathy Jones=40000

Beginning salary of Kathy Jones=19000

y^ =−2532.7 + 2.12x.

Predicted Current salary=-2532.7+2.12*beginning salary

Predicted Current salary=-2532.7+2.12*19000

Predicted Current salary=-2532.7+40280

Predicted Current salary=$37747.3

Residual=Observed Current Salary-Predicted Current salary

Residual=40000-27747.3

Residual=$2252.7

The residual for Ms. Jones is $2252.7.

If cos x=8/17, and 270° &lt; x &lt; 360°<br> what is cos(2x)?
svp [43]

Answer:  \bold{-\dfrac{161}{289}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: cos x = \dfrac{8}{17}, x is in Quadrant 4

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find sin x:

8² + y² = 17²    

      y² = 17² - 8²

      y² = 289 - 64

      y² = 225

      y = 15

→    sin x = -\dfrac{15}{17}

Use the double angle formula to find cos (2x):

cos (2x) = cos^2 x - sin^2 x\\\\.\qquad=\bigg(\dfrac{8}{17}\bigg)^2-\bigg(-\dfrac{15}{17}\bigg)^2\\\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{64}{289}-\dfrac{225}{289}\\\\\\.\qquad=-\dfrac{161}{289}
