Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it is backwards to figure a fifteen percent discount, you would make 15% into .15 and then multiply .15 times the original prioce to see the amount off.

Solve the equation <br> 3x-y=28<br> 3x+y=14
Elis [28]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (7, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can eliminate y by adding the two equations:

  (3x -y) +(3x +y) = (28) +(14)

  6x = 42 . . . . simplify

  x = 7 . . . . . . divide by 6

You can eliminate x by subtracting the two equations:

  (3x +y) -(3x -y) = (14) -(28)

  2y = -14 . . . . simplify

  y = -7 . . . . . . divide by 2

The solution is (x, y) = (7, -7).

Josh received a gift card of $70 for a pizza restaurant. The restaurant charges $20 per pizza. Jessica received a gift card of $
Bond [772]

Let x be the number of pizzas purchased. For each card, write an expression for the amount of money left on the card after purchasing x pizzas.

For Keith

Keith received a gift card of $90 for a pizza restaurant. The restaurant charges $15 per pizza.

x numbers of pizza costs = $15x

Hence, the amount of money left on Keith's card after purchasing x pizzas =

$90 - $15x

For Mary,

Mary received a gift card of $110 for a different pizza restaurant. The restaurant charges $20 per pizza.

Hence, x number of pizzas cost =$20 × x

= $20x

Therefore, the amount of money left on Mary's card after she buys x pizzas =

$110 - $20x

Amount of money left on Keith's card in dollars = __________

Amount of money left on Mary's card in dollars=____________

Write an equation to show that the two cards have the same amount of money left on them [don't know how to do this part.

To find the equation that shows that the two cards have the same amount of money =

Equation 1 = Equation 2

$90 - 15x = $110 - 20x

Collect like terms

-15x + 20x = $110 - $90

5x = 20

x = 20/5

x = 4

Hence, anytime Keith and Mary buys 4 pizzas their gift card will have the same amount of money left on them.

Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference in proportions. Assume that the samples are independent and that
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

CI 99%   =  ( - 0.0009 ;  0.0541 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample 1 New Yorkers

sample size    n₁   =  558

x₁  =  193

p₁ = x₁/n₁   =  193/ 558      p₁ =  0.3458  q₁ =  1  - p₁   q₁  =  1  -  0.3458

q₁  =  0.6542

Sample 2  Californians

sample size     n₂  =  614

x₂  =  196

p₂  =  x₂/n₂  =  196 / 614    p₂ = 0.3192   q₂  =  1  -  p₂   q₂ =  1 - 0.3192

q₂ =  0.6808

CI 99 %    means   significance level α  = 1 αα%    α = 0.01

α/2  =  0.005

In z-table we look for z score for  0.005    z (c) =  2.57

CI 99 %  =  [  (  p₁  -  p₂ ) ±  z(c) * √( p₁*q₁)/n₁  + ( p₂*q₂)/n₂

p₁ - p₂  =  ( 0.3458 - 0.3192 )  =  0.0266

√( p₁*q₁)/n₁  + ( p₂*q₂)/n₂   =√  0.3458*0.6542)/558 +  0.3192*0.6808)/614

√( p₁*q₁)/n₁  + ( p₂*q₂)/n₂   = √ 4.05*10⁻⁴   +  3.54 * 10⁻⁴

√( p₁*q₁)/n₁  + ( p₂*q₂)/n₂   =  10⁻² * √7.59    =  10⁻²  *  2.75

Then:

CI 99 %  =  0.0266  ±  2.75 * 10⁻²

CI 99%   =  0.0266   ±  0.0275

CI 99%   =  ( - 0.0009 ;  0.0541 )

Do you prefer Thai food or chinese food. is the question baised
Ksenya-84 [330]
No, this would not be a biased question unless the people asked were all Thai people or all Chinese people. Then the information would be skewed because naturally, Chinese people would favor Chinese food and same for Thai.
