Answer:

He bought 544 oranges and 1,360 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of oranges and apples bought

Let the number of oranges be x and the number of apples be y

Looking at their ratios;

x:y = 2:5

so;

x/y = 2/5

2y = 5x ••••••(i)

Now, he lost 3/4 of the apples ( by giving out)

What would be left with him is (1-3/4) = 1/4 * y = 0.25y

What is left with him out if the oranges will be; x-34

So now;

0.25y/x-34 = 2/3

3(0.25y) = 2(x-34) •••••••(ii)

From i, y = 5x/2 = 2.5x

Putting this into ii above, we have

3(0.25)(2.5x) = 2x - 68

1.875x = 2x-68

2x-1.875x = 68

0.125x = 68

x = 68/0.125

x = 544

But y = 2.5x

y = 2.5 * 544 = 1,360

HELP MEEEEE<br> In complete sentences, describe the characteristics of this scatterplot.
Umnica [9.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Scatter plots are dots scattered all over the graph.  I think that this is the easiest graph because all you need to do is put a dot where you want it.

A scatter plot doesn't need any lines, all it needs is dots.

Solve the equation. Check your solution.<br> 3x+4x-8=6<br> x= <br> ​(Simplify your​ answer.)
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

<h2>x=2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate x

3x + 4x - 8 = 6

             +8    +8

3x + 4x = 6 + 8

Simplify

3x + 4x = 6 + 8

7x = 14

Divide both sides by 7

7x/7 = 14/7

x = 2

A customer service phone line claims that the wait times before a call is answered by a service representative is less than 3.3
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

(A) Yes, since the test statistic is in the rejection region defined by the critical value, reject the null. The claim is the alternative, so the claim is supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis: The wait time before a call is answered by a service representative is 3.3 minutes.

Alternate hypothesis: The wait time before a call is answered by a service representative is less than 3.3 minutes.

Test statistic (t) = (sample mean - population mean) ÷ sd/√n

sample mean = 3.24 minutes

population mean = 3.3 minutes

sd = 0.4 minutes

n = 62

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 62 - 1 = 71

significance level = 0.08

t = (3.24 - 3.3) ÷ 0.4/√62 = -0.06 ÷ 005 = -1.2

The test is a one-tailed test. The critical value corresponding to 61 degrees of freedom and 0.08 significance level is 1.654

Conclusion:

Reject the null hypothesis because the test statistic -1.2 is in the rejection region of the critical value 1.654. The claim is contained in the alternative hypothesis, so it is supported.
