Answer:

1st number: 20

2nd number: 25

3rd number: 75

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 120

x = y - 5

z = 3y

plug that in!

(y-5) + y + (3y) = 120

remove the parenthesis (I used them to show you what I was replacing), and add like terms.

5y - 5 = 120

move -5 to the other side

5y = 120 + 5

5y = 125

divide both sides by 5

y = 25

now that you have one number, use the equations from before to solve for the rest!

x = (25) - 5

z = 3(25)

_____________________________________________________

x = 20

y = 25

z = 75

Answer: Hello! I believe your answer would be 162.

Step-by-step explanation: So the formula for Area on a rectangle is WxL. So length will be 9. But if you notice on the scale rectangle the width is the length times two. So the length on the real garden is 18.

Which of the values for x and y make the equation 2x + 3y + 4 = 15 true?
hjlf
X=1, y=3 because 2x1 is 2 and 3x3 is 9, 2 plus 9 equals 11 and 11 plus 4 equals 15

Answer:

No, the manager is not correct based on the 95% confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average daily revenue over the past five-week period has been $1,080 with a standard deviation of $260, i.e.; X bar = $1080 and s = $260 and sample size, n = 35 .

The Pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval is given by;

                \frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ t_n_-_1

where, X bar = sample mean = $1080

                s  = sample standard deviation = $260

                 n = sample size = 35 {five-week}

So, 95% confidence interval for average daily revenue, \mu is given by;

P(-2.032 < t_3_4 < 2.032) = 0.95

P(-2.032 < \frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.032) = 0.95

P(-2.032 * {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } < {Xbar - \mu} < 2.032 * {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 0.95

P(X bar - 2.032 * {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } < \mu < X bar + 2.032 * {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for \mu = [ X bar - 2.032 * {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } , X bar + 2.032 * {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } ]

                                            = [ 1080 - 2.032 * {\frac{260}{\sqrt{35} } , 1080 + 2.032 * {\frac{260}{\sqrt{35} } ]

                                             = [ 990.70 , 1169.30 ]

<em>No, the manager is not correct based on the fact that the coffee and pastry strategy would lead to an average daily revenue of $1,200 because the calculate 95% confidence interval does not include value of $1200.</em>

Therefore, the store manager believe is not correct.
