Answer: 18 pies, 22 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pies sold be represented by p.

Let the number of cakes be represented by c.

The information in the question can then be represented in an equation as:

p + c = 40 ........ i

10p + 8c = 356 ....... ii

Multiply equation i by 10

Multiply equation ii by 1

10p + 10c = 400 ....... iii

10p + 8c = 356 ....... iv

Subtract iv from iii

2c = 44

c = 44/2

c = 22

22 cakes were sold

Since 40 items were sold, the number of pies sold will be:

= 40 - 22

= 18 pies

Answer: $69811

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A survey organization, as part of the United States Census Bureau, conducts a yearly census similar to the one taken every ten years, but with a smaller percentage of participants.

One of these surveys estimates with 90% confidence that the mean household income in the U.S. falls between $69,702 and $69,920.  (1)

We know that the confidence interval is given by :-

Point estimate of mean  ± Margin of error

From (1) , we have

Point estimate for mean  -Margin of error = $69,702   (2)

Point estimate for mean  +Margin of error = $69,920      (3)

Add (2) and (3), we get

2 (Point estimate for mean) = $139622

Divide both sides by 2, we get

Point estimate for mean=$ 69811

Therefore , the point estimate for mean U.S. household income. =  $ 69811
