Answer:

Cost of Hats = $15

Cost of Scarves = $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Cost of Hats = x

Cost of Scarves = y

5x + 3y = 99 (1)

3x + 5y = 85 (2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 3

25x + 15y = 495

9x + 15y = 255

Subtract

25x - 9x = 495 - 255

16x = 240

Divide both sides by 16

x = 240 / 16

= 15

x = $15

Substitute x = 15 into

5x + 3y = 99

5(15) + 3y = 99

75 + 3y = 99

3y = 99 - 75

3y = 24

y = 24/3

= 8

y = 8

Cost of Hats = $15

Cost of Scarves = $8

Anika [276]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the mean number of male and female cats

H₀; μ₂ - μ₁ = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The given percentage of male stray cat population = 50%

The given percentage of female stray cat population = 50%

The number of areas the researcher visits, n = 15

The number of stray male cats he finds = 11

The kind of test to be performed = Sign test

The significance level, α = 0.05

A) Therefore the null hypothesis is H₀; μ₂ - μ₁ = 0

The alternative hypothesis is Hₐ; μ₂ - μ₁ ≠ 0.

balu736 [363]
10.) The lines that the angles are on are not parallel to each other. 11.) Angle 2 is also 60 degrees because they're corresponding angles. They're just on different lines but the place they meet the intersecting lines are the same. 12.) A real life situation that uses parallel lines are a rectangular room's walls that are parallel to each other.
