A clothing store is having a sale on shirts and jeans. Four shirts and two pairs of jeans cost $78. Three shirts and five pairs

of jeans cost $111. The system of equations
4s + 2j = 78
3s + 5j = 111
models this situation, where s is the cost of a shirt and j is the cost of a pair of jeans. How much does one shirt and one pair of jeans cost?

Answer:

One shirt is $12 and one pair of jeans is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -4:

12s + 6j = 234

-12s - 20j = -444

Add these together, and solve for j:

-14j = -210

j = 15

So, a pair of jeans is $15. Plug in 15 as j into one of the equations and solve for s:

3s + 5j = 111

3s + 5(15) = 111

3s + 75 = 111

3s = 36

s = 12

One shirt is $12 and one pair of jeans is $15.

Tomato as a taste modifier. Miraculin—a protein naturally produced in a rare tropical fruit—can convert a sour taste into a swee
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

a) .033  b) .4678 c) 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution of miraculin produced is normal. To answer question we need to find the z-score of 100g, 110g and 120g miraculin

General formula for z score is given by

z=\frac{X-M}{s} where

  • X is the miraculin produced (120,110,100)
  • M is the mean miraculin produced for a partucilar tomato plant, which is 105.3
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample, which is 8.0

a)

z-score for 120 g miraculin is \frac{120-105.3}{8} =1.8375 then

P(x > 120) = P(z>1.8375) = 0.033

b)

z-score for 110 g miraculin is \frac{110-105.3}{8} = 0.5875

  z-score for 100 g miraculin is \frac{100-105.3}{8} = -0,6625

P(100 < x < 110) = P(x>100) - P(x>110) =0.7462 - 0,2784 = 0.4678

c)

if P(x < a) = 0.25 then corresponding z score for a is -0.6745. From the above formula we can calculate a:

\frac{a-105.3}{8} =-0.6625 which gives a= 100
