120 children and 388 adults bought tickets for the swimming pool
Explanation:
Create two simultanous equations:
Let c stand for the number of children that bought a ticket, and a stand for the number of adults that bought a ticket, you get your first equation, being
c
+
a
=
508
then, you now create a second equation for the prices of the tickets.
(price of childrens tickets)(number of children that swam)+(price of adults tickets)(number of adults that swam) = total money collected
so:
1.75
c
+
2.25
a
=
1083.00

now we still know, that
a
=
508
−
c

so we can substitute it into the second formula
1.75
c
+
2.25
(
508
−
c
)
=
1083

now its just simple algebra
1.75
c
+
1143
−
2.25
c
=
1083

60
=
0.5
c
so:
c
=
120
now we know, that 120 children went to the swimming pool.
and we still have the formula from before:
a
=
508
−
c
so
a
=
388

Answer:

31 children and 290 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = number of adults and c = number of children.

a + c = 321

2a + 1.75c = 634.25

Multiply both sides of the the first equation by -2 and add it to the second equation.

         -2a -     2c = -642

(+)       2a + 1.75c = 634.25

--------------------------------------

                 -0.25c = -7.75

Divide both sides by -0.25

c = 31

Use the first equation to find a.

a + c = 321

Substitute 31 for c.

a + 31 = 321

Subtract 31 from both sides.

a = 290

Answer: 31 children and 290 adults

A social psychologist predicted that ratings of an individual’s social desirability would be influenced by their physical attrac
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

It is stated in the query that the more attractive the individual, the higher their rank of desirability.

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that we should conclude that the alternative explanation of "higher degree of desire contributes to higher levels of social attractiveness"

In the event of a null hypothesis, we will believe that the degree of attractiveness has no impact on the score of cultural desirability.

(1) Null hypothesis:- The level of attraction does not have an impact on the rating of social desirability.

(2) Alternate hypothesis:- The level of attraction has a positive effect on the ranking of social desirability.

(3) The error of Type I is characterized as the rejection of the true null hypothesis. Therefore, in this case, the type I mistake would be that "the level of attraction has a positive effect on the rating of social desirability while the level of attraction does not have an impact on the rating of social desirability."

(4) The error of type II is characterized as the failure to reject the false null hypothesis. Thus, in this situation, the Type II error would be that "the level of attraction has no impact on the rating of social desirability while the real level of attraction has a positive effect on the rating of social desirability."

(5) We know that the likelihood of having a Form I error is equal to the degree of significance (in percent terms). The significance level, in this case, is 0.05, so the likelihood of making a form I error is 0.05 * 100=5 percent.

Therefore, there is a 5 percent risk of making a Type I mistake.
