Answer:

  There are 2 nickels and 6 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickels:  x

 Dimes:  y

Constraints:

  0.05x + 0.10y = 0.70

   x + y = 8                   ===>  -0.05 * (x + y = 8)  ===>   -0.05x - 0.05y = -0.4

Add the two equations to eliminate x variable:

  0.05x + 0.10y = 0.70

 -0.05x - 0.05y = -0.4

_________________

                0.05y = 0.3         ===>    y = 6

Substitution to find x:

  x + y = 8

  x + 6 = 8

  x = 2

There are 2 nickels and 6 dimes.

A length is measured at 21 cm correct to two significant figures, what is the lower bound of the length and upper bound?
Andreyy89

Answer:

20.5 and 21.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It says 2 significant figures so the least it can possibly be is 0.5 less and the most it can be is 0.5 more as if it was, lets say 20.4 it would round down to 20 not 21.

Researchers investigated the possible beneficial effect on heart health of drinking black tea and whether adding milk to the tea
Elanso [62]

Answer:

(a)  It is an experiment.

(b) Group III has been tested to compare the effect of tea

Step-by-step explanation:

24 volunteers are randomly selected to one of the three groups.

Group I drinks two cups of hot black tea without milk

Group II drinks two cups of hot black tea with milk

Group III drinks two cups of hot water but no tea.

At the end of the month, the researchers measured the change in each of the participant's heart health.

The average change of health status of three Groups can be measured and let it be X1', X2' and X3'. We can set up the hypothesis of no difference of heart health i.e H0 : µ1 = µ2 = µ3 against the alternative hypothesis that they are not equal. As the sample size is less than 30, we can use t-statistic.

Under the above logic, (a) it is an experiment.

(b) Group III has been tested to compare the effect of tea or to have comparison between GroupI and Group III.
