Answer:

  book 25; pen 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let b and p represent the cost of a book and a pen, respectively, then the two purchases can be written as ...

  7b +4p = 207

  5b +5p = 165

Multiply the second equation by 4/5 and subtract the result from the first equation:

  (7b +4p) -4/5(5b +5p) = (207) -4/5(165)

  3b = 75 . . . . simplify

  b = 25 . . . . . divide by 3

Dividing the second equation by 5 gives ...

  b + p = 33

Solving for p, we have ...

  p = 33 -b = 33 -25 = 8

The cost of an exercise book is 25; the cost of a pen is 8.

A hotel wants to know if there's a relationship between gender and the way customers make room reservations. A manager takes a r
padilas [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

H_o: The way of reservation is independent of gender.

H_a: The way of reservation is not independent of gender.

We use a chi square test because we can calculate the expected frequencies for this chart.

Doing an Expected Value Chart,          

         

33.7625   9.7125   30.525  

39.2375   11.2875   35.475

Using chi^2 = Sum[(O - E)^2/E],          

chi^2 =    4.482385929

With df = (a - 1)(b - 1), where a and b are the number of categories of each variable,

a =    3      

b =    2

df =    2

Thus, the critical value is

significance level =    0.05

chi^2(critical) =    5.991464547

Also, the p value is

P =    0.106331579

Thus, comparing chi^2 and chi^2(critical) [or, p and significance level], we   FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS.

Thus, there is no significant evidence that the way of reservation is dependent of gender. [CONCLUSION]

Compare adding unlike fractions and adding like fractions
muminat

Answer:

We just add numerators and rewrite denominator.

Adding unlike dominators:

We need to find the same denominators. You need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators.

Step-by-step explanation:

You mean unlike denominators and like denominators.

Adding like dominators: We just add numerators and rewrite denominator :

Example : \frac{1}{4} +\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1+2}{4}  =\frac{3}{4}

Adding unlike dominators:

We need to find the same denominators. You need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators.

For example :

\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{4}

LCM for 5 and 4 is 20 : Now, divide by 5 and multiply by 1 for first fraction. 20 divide by 4 and multiply by 3 :

\frac{1*4}{20} +\frac{3*5}{20}=\frac{4}{20} +\frac{15}{20}=\frac{19}{20}
