Answer:

A lily costs $7 and a geranium $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can write two equations. let the number of lilies be l and the number of geraniums be g, then:

5 g + 4 l = 48

4 g + 6 l = 58

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5, the number of lilies in the other gives:

20 g + 16 l = 192

20 g + 30 l = 290

Subtract the first equation from the second gives:

14 l = 98  which dividing by 14 gives  l = 7

Substituting the value  l = 7  in the first equation gives:

5 g + 28 = 48

Subtract 20 from both sides gives:

5 g = 20  divide by 5 gives  g = 4

So, a lily costs $7 and a geranium costs $4.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

C) Impossible

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are no blue cards, the probability that you'd draw one is 0/12, which means that there is no chance you'll draw one.

Suppose the profit a honda dealership makes on the next 5 accords it sells are:564, 1,000, 848, 1,495, 1,348. calculate the stan
stepladder [879]
First we have to find the mean (average)
mean = (564 + 1000 + 848 + 1495 + 1348) / 5 = 5255 / 5 = 1051

now we subtract the mean from every data point, then square it
564 - 1051 = -487......-487^2 = 237169
1000 - 1051 = -51......-51^2 = 2601
848 - 1051 = -203......-203^2 = 41209
1495 - 1051 = 444......444^2 = 197136
1348 - 1051 = 297......297^2 = 88209

now find the mean of the results.....but know when ur dealing with a sample instead of the whole population, u divide by 1 number less...so instead of dividing by 5, u divide by 4.
(237169 + 2601 + 41209 + 197136 + 88209) / 4 = 566324 / 4 = 
141581.....this is called ur variance

now take the square root of the variance and u have ur standard deviation
sqrt (141581) = 376.272 rounds to 376.27 <==

Ivenika [448]

Answer: 0.0241

Step-by-step explanation:

This is solved using the probability distribution formula for random variables where the combination formula for selection is used to determine the probability of these random variables occurring. This formula is denoted by:

P(X=r) = nCr × p^r × q^n-r

Where:

n = number of sampled variable which in this case = 21

r = variable outcome being determined which in this case = 5

p = probability of success of the variable which in this case = 0.31

q= 1- p = 1 - 0.31 = 0.69

P(X=5) = 21C5 × 0.31^5 × 0.69^16

P(X=5) = 0.0241
