Ed decides to include more fruit in his diet. He goes to the grocery store over the weekend and buys 6 apples, 6 oranges, and 6 avocados. The total cost is $19.50.
Ed finishes the apples very quickly, and has some leftover avocado. The following weekend he buys 12 apples, 2 oranges, and 1 avocado. This time he pays just $9.50.
The following week, Ed reads an article on the benefits of avocado, so over the weekend he buys 5 avocados along with 2 apples and 4 oranges. His total this time is $14.
Assume that Ed pays a unit price rather than a price per pound for the apples, oranges, and avocados.

Answer:
apples: $0.50 eaoranges: $0.75 eaavocados: $2.00 eaStep-by-step explanation:
Let a, o, v represent the prices of one each of apples, oranges, and avocados, respectively. Then the equations describing the purchases can be written ...
6a +6o +6v = 19.50
12a +2o +1v = 9.50
2a +4o +5v = 14.00
__
Dividing the first equation by 6 makes it ...
a +o +v = 3.25
Subtracting this from the second equation gives ...
(12a +2o +v) -(a +o +v) = (9.50) -(3.25)
11a +o = 6.25
Subtracting the third equation from 5 times the reduced first equation gives ...
5(a +o +v) -(2a +4o +5v) = 5(3.25) -(14.00)
3a +o = 2.25
The difference of these last two equations is ...
(11a +o) -(3a +o) = (6.25) -(2.25)
8a = 4.00
a = 0.50
Then the other values are ...
o = 2.25 -3(a) = 0.75
v = 3.25 -a -o = 2.00
The unit prices are:
apples -- $0.50
oranges -- $0.75
avocados -- $2.00

Let S be a set of linearly dependent vectors in Rn. Select the best statement. A. The set S could, but does not have to, span Rn. B. The set S spans Rn, as long as no vector in S is a scalar multiple of another vector in the set. C. The set S cannot span Rn. D. The set S must span Rn. E. The set S does not span Rn if some vector in S is a scalar multiple of another vector in the set. F. The set S spans Rn, as long as it does not include the zero vector. G. none of the above
Answer:
The set S could, but does not have to, span Rn ( A )
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume S is a set of linearly dependent vectors in Rn
The best statement from the options is ; The set S could, but does not have to, span Rn
This is because S could span Rn ( as stated in option c ) but will not necessary span Rn ( as seen in option D )
A building 51 feet tall casts a shadow 48 feet long. Simultaneously, a nearby statue casts a shadow of 16 feet. How tall is the statue? Choose an answer
Answer: 17 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
51/48 = x/16
(51)(16)/48
The statute is 17 feet tall.
What are the similar triangles?Similar triangles are the triangles that have the same shape, but different sizes. The corresponding angles are congruent and the sides are in proportion.
What is the ratio of any two corresponding sides of similar triangles?The ratio of any corresponding sides in two equiangular triangles is always the same.
Let's visualize the situation according to the given question.
AB is the building ,whose height is 51f
BC is the shadow of the building AB, whose length is 48ft.
QR is the shadow of the tower statue, whose length is 16feet.
Let the height of the statue PR be h feet.
In triangle ACB and triangle PRQ
∠ACB = ∠PRQ = 90 degrees
( the objects and shadows are perpendicular to each other)
∠BAC = ∠QPR
( sunray falls on the pole and tower at the same angle, at the same time )
⇒ΔACB similar to ΔPRQ ( AA criterion)
Therefore, the ratio of any two corresponding sides in equiangular triangles is always same.
⇒ AC/CB = PR/RQ
⇒[tex]\frac{51}{48} =\frac{h}{16}[/tex]
⇒ h = [tex]\frac{(51)(16)}{48}[/tex]
⇒ h = 17 feet.
Hence, the statute is 17 feet tall.

Charity is planting trees along her driveway, and she has 6 pine trees and 6 willows to plant in one row. What is the probability that she randomly plants the trees so that all 6 pine trees are next to each other and all 6 willows are next to each other
Answer:
0.0022 = 0.22% probability that she randomly plants the trees so that all 6 pine trees are next to each other and all 6 willows are next to each other.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
In this question, the elements are arranged, so we have to use the arrangements formula.
Arrangements formula:
The number of possible arrangements of n elements is:
[tex]A_{n} = n![/tex]
Desired outcomes:
Pine trees(6!) then the willows(6!) or
Willows(6!) then the pine trees(6!). So
[tex]D = 2*6!*6! = 1036800 [/tex]
Total outcomes:
12 trees, so:
[tex]T = 12! = 479001600 [/tex]
What is the probability that she randomly plants the trees so that all 6 pine trees are next to each other and all 6 willows are next to each other?
[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1036800 }{479001600 } = 0.0022[/tex]
0.0022 = 0.22% probability that she randomly plants the trees so that all 6 pine trees are next to each other and all 6 willows are next to each other.
What constant acceleration is required to increase the speed of a car from 30 miyh to 50 miyh in 5 seconds?
Answer:
The acceleration is 1.8 m/s^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
initial velocity, u = 30 mph = 13.4 m/s
Final velocity, v = 50 mph = 22.4 m/s
time, t = 5 s
Let the acceleration is a.
Use first equation of motion
v = u + at
22.4 = 13.4 + 5 a
a = 1.8 m/s^2
Air-USA has a policy of booking as many as 22 people on an airplane that can only seat 20 people. (Past studies have revealed that only 82% of the booked passengers actually show up for the flight.) a) Find the probability that if Air-USA books 22 people, not enough seats will be available. Round your answer to 4 decimal places. P ( X > 20 )
Answer:
The answer is "0.07404893".
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying the binomial distribution:
[tex]n = 22\\\\p= 82\%=0.82\\\\q = 1-0.82 = 0.18\\\\[/tex]
Calculating the probability for not enough seats:
[tex]=P(X>20)\\\\= P(21) + P(22)\\\\[/tex]
[tex]= \binom{22}{21} (0.82)^{21}(0.18)^1+ \binom{22}{22} (0.82)^{22}(0.18)[/tex]
[tex]=0 .06134598+ 0.01270295\\\\=0.07404893[/tex]
An auto transport truck holds cars. A car dealer plans to bring in new cars in June and July. If an auto transport truck is filled for each delivery, except for the last one, how many full truckloads are needed and how many cars will be in the last truck?
Answer:
95 truckloads
Last truck = 10 cars
Step-by-step explanation:
Capacity of auto truck = 12 cars
Total number of cars to be brought in = 1150
The number of truckloads required :
Total number of cars to be brought in / capacity of auto truck
Number of truckloads = 1150 / 12 = 95.83333
This means that the number of full truckloads required will be, the whole number = 95
The last truck won't be full and will contain :
1150 - (95 * 12)
1150 - 1140
= 10 cars
Suppose that 25% of people own dogs If you pick three people at random, what
is the probability that they all three own a dog? (Let me add that we don’t know the
populations size so calculate the probability as if the population is infinite.)
Answer:
1/64
Step-by-step explanation:
25% own a dog, so picking one person has a probability of 1/4 (0.25) for that person to own a dog.
picking 3 people means combining (multiplying) the probabilities of the non-overlapping and non-depending events.
picking the third person has 1/4 chance of owning a dog (as the population is "infinite") combined with the chance that also the second pick owned a dog, which has to be combined with the chance of the first pick owning a dog.
so,
1/4 × 1/4 × 1/4 = 1/4³ = 1/64 = 0.015625

A university is interested in promoting graduates of its honors program by establishing that the mean GPA of these graduates exceeds 5.1. A sample of 33 honors students is taken and is found to have a mean GPA equal to 5.2. The population standard deviation is assumed to equal 0.40. The parameter to be tested is ___________________________.
Answer:
B. The mean GPA of the university honors students
Step-by-step explanation:
Parameter in statistical parlance simply refers to numerical characteristics obtijed from the population dataset or observations. The population itself refers to all observations belonging to a particular or specific experiment or research. Here, the population is the all students belonging to the university's honors programme. The measured characteristic is the mean of the student's GPA. THEREFORE, the parameter will be the mean GPA of the honors student.

Suppose your Unit Quiz grades have been: 85%, 80%, 96%, 72%, 78%, 85% and 92%
a) What is your average/mean score?
b) What is the median score?
c) What is the mode score?
d) Why is the mean lower than the median?
e) What will your mean be if you get a perfect score of 100% on your next quiz?
Answer:
mean: 84
median: 85
mode: 85
explainations for d and e below.
Step-by-step explanation:
mean:
(85+80+96+72+78+85+92)/7 = 544/7 = 84
median:
sort them in order from least to greatest first
72, 78, 80, 85, 85, 92, 96
find the middle number in that order, that's your median. in this case, it's 85.
mode:
number that appears the most in the order; the frequency. in this case as well, it's also 85.
answer for d:
the reason why the mean is lower than the median is because of the fact we were figuring out the average and had to divide, unlike the median where it's just the middle of the order we have.
answer for e:
(85+80+96+72+78+85+92+100)/8 = 644/8 = 80.5%

Independent simple random samples are selected to test the difference between the means of two populations whose standard deviations are not known. We are unwilling to assume that the population variances are equal. The sample sizes are n1 = 25 and n2 = 35. The correct distribution to use is the:
1) t distribution with 59 degrees of freedom.
2) t distribution with 58 degrees of freedom.
3) t distribution with 61 degrees of freedom.
4) t distribution with 60 degrees of freedom.
Answer:
2) t distribution with 58 degrees of freedom.
Step-by-step explanation:
Population standard deviations not known:
This means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.
The sample sizes are n1 = 25 and n2 = 35.
The number of degrees of freedom is the sum of the sample sizes subtracted by the number of samples, in this case 2. So
25 + 35 - 2 = 58 df.
Thus the correct answer is given by option 2.
The ratio of the number of boys to that of girls in a school is 4:3. If the number of girls in the school is 162, find the number of boys in it. Then find the ratio of the number of girls to the total number of students in the school.
Answer:
total number of boys in skool is 216
And
ratio of girls to boys is a 3:4
Step-by-step explanation:
let total no. of boys be X
ACCORDING TO QUESTION
ratio of boys to girls = 4:3
total number of girls = 162
now
4/3=X/162
or, 4×162= 3x
or, 4×162/3= X
hence
X = 216
therefore total number of boys is 216
and
ratio of girls to boys is =162/216

A supervisor records the repair cost for 22 randomly selected VCRs. A sample mean of $75.50 and standard deviation of $18.07 are subsequently computed. Determine the 99% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the VCRs. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
The t value for 99% CI for 21 df is 2.831.
The critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is (64.593, 86.407).
Step-by-step explanation:
Now the sample size is less than 30 and also population standard deviation is not known.
Then we will use t distribution to find CI
t value for 99% CI for 21 df is TINV(0.01,21)=2.831
The margin of error is [tex]E=t\times\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=2.831\times\frac{18.07}{\sqrt{22}}\\\\=10.907[/tex]
Hence CI is[tex]CI=\overline{x} \pm E\\\\ =75.50 \pm 10.907\\\\=(64.593,86.407 )[/tex]

Which best describes the relationship between the lines with equations 2x – 9y = 1 and x + 8y = 6?
A. perpendicular
B. neither perpendicular nor parallel
C. parallel
D. same line
9514 1404 393
Answer:
B. neither perpendicular nor parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
If the lines were perpendicular, the coefficients would be swapped and one negated. (You would have 8x -y = c, or 9x +2y = c in the system.)
If the lines were parallel, the coefficients in the two equations would only differ by a common factor. (Both equations would reduce to 2x -9y = c, or x +8y = c.)
The lines are not the same line (coefficients are different).
So, the only reasonable description is ...
neither perpendicular nor parallel
A telephone service representative believes that the proportion of customers completely satisfied with their local telephone service is different between the South and the Midwest. The representative's belief is based on the results of a survey. The survey included a random sample of 1300 southern residents and 1380 midwestern residents. 39% of the southern residents and 50% of the midwestern residents reported that they were completely satisfied with their local telephone service. Find the 80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions. Step 1 of 3 : Find the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval
Answer:
The point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is 0.11.
The 80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions is (0.0856, 0.1344).
Step-by-step explanation:
Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
Midwest:
50% of 1380, so:
[tex]p_M = 0.5[/tex]
[tex]s_M = \sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{1380}} = 0.0135[/tex]
South:
39% of 1300, so:
[tex]p_S = 0.39[/tex]
[tex]s_S = \sqrt{\frac{0.39*0.61}{1300}} = 0.0135[/tex]
Distribution of the difference:
[tex]p = p_M - p_S = 0.5 - 0.39 = 0.11[/tex]
So the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is 0.11.
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_M^2+s_S^2} = \sqrt{0.0135^2+0.0135^2} = 0.0191[/tex]
Confidence interval:
[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
80% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.2[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.9[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.28[/tex].
The lower bound of the interval is:
[tex]p - zs = 0.11 - 1.28*0.0191 = 0.0856[/tex]
The upper bound of the interval is:
[tex]p + zs = 0.11 + 1.28*0.0191 = 0.1344[/tex]
The 80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions is (0.0856, 0.1344).
