Suppose you always eat a particular brand of cookies out of the standard sized package it comes in from the store. You notice th

at when you eat 3 at a time, there's always 1 cookie left over. You decide when you purchase the next package, you'll eat 5 at a time, but still, there's always 1 cookie left over. Since it really isn't helpful to always have a leftover cookie, you decide to eat 7 at a time, and there are no cookies leftover. If you know there are less than 100 cookies in the package, how many cookies are there?

Answer:

There are 91 cookies in the package of cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameter for the number of cookies are;

The number of cookies left when eating 3 at a time = 1 cookie

The number of cookies left when eating 5 at a time = 1 cookie

The number of cookies left when eating 7 cookies at a time = No cookie leftover

Let 'n' represent the number of cookies in the pack, let 'a', 'b', and 'c' be the multiples of 3s, 5s, and 7s in 'n', respectively, we have;

The number of cookies in the pack, n < 100

Therefore, we have;

3·a = n - 1

5·b = n - 1

7·c = n

∴ n - 1 is a multiples of 3 and 5 less than 100 which are;

15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90

Therefore, the possible values of 'n' are'

n = n - 1 + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16, 30 + 1 = 31, 45 + 1 = 46, 60 + 1 = 61, 75 + 1 = 75, 90 + 1 = 91

Multiples of 7 includes;

7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, and 98

Therefore, n = 91 which is the number that appear simultaneously in both search

The number of cookies in a package = 91 cookies

Answer:

<h2><u>[A] 0</u></h2>

Explanation:

<u>Lines of symmetry; A line that cuts a shape exactly in half</u>

If you were to put a line of symmetry down and fold the shape in half on that line, both halves would match exactly.

If you were to put a line of symmetry down on <u>this triangle</u> both sides <u>would not match</u>, therefore there are no lines of symmetry.

<h3><u>There are zero lines of symmetry, therefore your answer is [A] 0</u></h3>

What value should be added to both sides for completing the square in this equation?

Mila [183]

Hey there!

x^2 + 4x = 12

SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 12 - 12

SIMPLIFY IT

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0

FACTOR the LEFT SIDE of your EQUATION

(x - 2)(x + 6) = 0

• EQUATION #1: x - 2 = 0

OR

• EQUATION #2: x + 6 = 0

SIMPLIFY IT

• EQUATION #1 answer: x = 2

OR

• EQUATION #2 answer: x = -6

OVERALL ANSWER: x = 2 or x = -6

YOUR ANSWER: x = 2 (Option A.)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

The number of "destination weddings" has skyrocketed in recent years. For example, many couples are opting to have their wedding

Answer:

We conclude that the mean wedding cost is less than $30,000 as advertised.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:(in thousands)

29100, 28500, 28800, 29400, 29800, 29800, 30100, 30600

Formula:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{236100}{8} = 29512.5$

Sum of squares of differences = 3408750

$S.D = \sqrt{\frac{3408750}{7}} = 697.82$

Population mean, μ = $30,000

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = $29512.5

Sample size, n = 8

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = $ 697.82

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 30000\text{ dollars}\\H_A: \mu < 30000\text{ dollars}$ We use one-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{29512.5 - 30000}{\frac{697.82}{\sqrt{8}} } = -1.975$

Now,

$t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 7 degree of freedom } = -1.894$

Since,

$t_{stat} < t_{critical}$

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it.

We conclude that the mean wedding cost is less than $30,000 as advertised.
