The town recreation department ordered 100 balls and bats for the summer baseball camp. Balls cost $4.50 each, and bats cost $20
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

76 balls and 24 bats

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations where x is the number of balls and y is the number of bats:

x + y = 100

4.5x + 20y = 822

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -20, then combine the equations together:

-20x - 20y = -2000

4.5x + 20y = 822

-15.5x = -1178

x = 76

Then, plug in 76 as x in the first equation to solve for y:

x + y = 100

76 + y = 100

y = 24

So, 76 balls and 24 bats were purchased.

Suppose a research paper states that the distribution of the daily sea-ice advance/retreat from each sensor is similar and is ap
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The value of the parameter is λ is 0.03692

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

f(x) = 0.5\lambda e^{-\lambda |x|} for −∞ < x < ∞.

It is given that standard deviation is given as 38.3 km.

Now we need to calculate the value of parameter λ.

The general formula for the probability density function of the double exponential distribution is: f(x)=\frac{e^{-|\frac{x-\mu}{\beta}|}}{2\beta}

Where μ is the location parameter and β is the scale parameter.

Compare the provided equation with the above formula we get.

\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta} and μ = 0.

Standard deviation = √2β

S.D=\sqrt{2} \beta\\\beta=\frac{38.3}{\sqrt{2}}\\\beta=27.08219

Now substitute the value of β in \lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}.

\lambda=\frac{1}{27.08219}=0.03692

Hence, the value of the parameter is λ is 0.03692

lidiya [134]

answer:number of cupcakes sold is 13  Number of cookies sold is 27  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cupcakes that Victor sold.  Let y represent the number of cookies that Jane sold.  Each cupcake sold for $2.25 and each cookie sold for $0.50. At the end of the day,  This mean Victor had 2.25x 0.5y = 42.75 - - - - - - - - - -1she sold 40 cupcakes and cookies combined, it means thatx y = 40Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes2.25(40 - y) 0.5y = 42.7590 - 2.25y 0.5y = 42.75- 2.25y 0.5y = 42.75 - 90- 1.75y = - 47.25y = - 47.35/-1.75y = 27x = 40 - yx = 40-27 = 13

Can someone please help me with this?
vivado [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see it is a right angled triangle so

hypotenuse (h) = 14 . 7 km

perpendicular (p) = 11.9 km

base (b) = x

Now by using Pythagoras theorem

b^{2} = h^{2} - p ^{2}

b^{2} = 14.7^{2} - 11.9^{2}

b^{2} = 216.09 - 141.61

b^{2} = 74.48\\b = \sqrt{74.48} \\b = 8.63 km

Hope  it was helpful.:)
