Answer:
y=447.3 pounds
x= 297.3 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
Tea A costs $9 per pound and
Tea B cost $6 per pound.
let the number of pounds of Tea A be x
and for Tea B be y pounds
The total cost of the mixture = $8 per pound
hence
9x+6y=8---------1
The total weight of the mixture
150 pounds
x+y=150-----------2
Step two:
9x+6y=8---------1
x+y=150---------2
from eqn 2 x=150-y
put x= 150-y in eqn 1
9(150-y)+6y=8---------1
1350-9y+6y=8
1350-8=9y-6y
1342=3y
divide both sides by 3
y= 1342/3
y=447.3 pounds
put y= 447.3 in eqn 2
x+447.3= 150
x= 150-446=7.3
x= -297.3
x= 297.3 pounds
Answer: (0, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
324
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because when rounding you multiply 55 by 6 that is equal to 330 which is near 324. However if you want the answer spot on it would be 294
Answer: 0.421
Step-by-step explanation:
Heavy smoker = 20%
Light smoker = 30%
Non smokers = 50%
We can assume that the probability that a non-smoker is going to die in the next 5 years be y.
Since light smokers were twice as likely as nonsmokers to die during the five-year study, the probability will be:
= 2 × y = 2y
Probability for the Heavy smokers will be:= 2 × 2y = 4y
The expected number of people that will die for each in the next 5 years will be:
Non smoker:
= 50% × y
= 0.5 × y
= 0.5y
Light smoker:
= 30% × 2y
= 0.3 × 2y.
= 0.6y
Heavy smoker:
= 20% × 4y.
= 0.2 × 4y
= 0.8y
Total = 0.5y + 0.6y + 0.8y = 1.9y
The probability that the participant was a heavy smoker will be:
= 0.8y/1.9y
= 0.421
