Answer:

The cost of one taco is $0.87 and the cost of one enchilada is $1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of tacos be X

and cost of enchiladas be y

So, by using given data, we have following equations

3X + 2Y = 4.93             (1)

2X + 4Y = 6.38             (2)

So, first multiply 1st equation by 2 and 2nd equation by 3, then subtracting 1st equation by 2nd.

= 2 × ( 3X + 2Y = 4.93)       (1)

= 3 × (2X + 4Y = 6.38)        (2)

= - (6X + 4Y = 9.86)              (1)

= 6X + 12y = 19.14            (2)

= 8Y = 9.28

Y = 9.28 ÷ 8 = 1.16

By putting the value of Y in equation 1, we get

3X + 2(1.16) = 4.93

3X + 2.32 = 4.93

X = 2.61 ÷ 3 = 0.87

Hence, the cost of one taco is $0.87 and the cost of one enchilada is $1.16.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

a) 4.387

b) Yes, because np & npq are greater than 10.

c) = 0.017          

Step-by-step explanation:

Give data:

p = 0.69

n = 90

a) a

E(X) = np = 62.1

SD(X) = \sqrt{(np(1-p))}

          =\sqrt{90\times 0.69(1- 0.69)}

          = 4.387

b)

np = 62.1  

q = 1 - p  = 1 - 0.69 = 0.31

npq = 19.251

Yes, because np & npq are greater than 10.

c.

P(X \geq 72   ) = P(X > 71.5) [continuity correction]

=    P(Z> \frac{((71.5-62.1)}{ 4.387})

= P(Z> 2.14 )      

= 1 - P(Z<2.14)              

= 1 - 0.983   (using table)          

= 0.017
