Answer:

Number of nickels = 17

Number of dimes = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of nickels

y = number of dimes

x + y = 40 (1)

0.05x + 0.10y = 3.15 (2)

From (1)

x = 40 - y

Substitute x = 40 - y into (2)

0.05x + 0.10y = 3.15 (2)

0.05(40 - y) + 0.10y = 3.15

2 - 0.05y + 0.10y = 3.15

- 0.05y + 0.10y = 3.15 - 2

0.05y = 1.15

y = 1.15/0.05

y = 23

Substitute y = 23 into (1)

x + y = 40 (1)

x + 23 = 40

x = 40 - 23

x = 17

Number of nickels = 17

Number of dimes = 23

A research report from an independent-measures study states that there are significant differences between treatments, F(3, 48)
Flura [38]

Answer:

k = 4 ;

N = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio F(3, 48)

F takes in degree of freedom values; degree of freedom of groups ; degree of freedom of error

Hence,

df group or treatment = 3

df error = 48

df treatment = k - 1

k = Number of groups

3 = k - 1

3 + 1 = k - 1 + 1

4 = k

Number of treatment condition = 4

df error = N-k

N = total number of observations

48 = N - 4

48 + 4 = N - 4 + 4

52 = N

Ludmilka [50]
Each piece should be 4.2 feet

the whole rope is 21 feet long and you divide it by 5 because you want 5 equal pieces.

21/5 (21 divided by 5) equals 4.2 feet

Show the work for INVERSE, thank you. I got 17 but I did it wrong because it has to be 7
Yuri [45]

12 - x = 5

Subtract 12 from both sides

12 - 12 - x = 5 - 12

- x = - 7

Divide both sides by -1

-x/-1 = -12/-1

x = 7
