Answer:
price per pound of apple = $1.25
price per pound of banana = $0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Your first question is what value should you multiply the second equation by in order to eliminate the y terms.
The number should be 3. Let us multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3 and see how y will be eliminated.
10x + 6y = 17...............(i)
9x + 6y = 15.75...........(ii)
10x - 9x = x
6y - 6y = 0
17 - 15.75 = 1.25
x = 1.25
let us find y
10x + 6y = 17...............(i)
10(1.25) + 6y = 17
12.5 + 6y = 17
6y = 17 - 12.5
6y = 4.5
divide both sides by 6
y = 4.5/6
y = 0.75
In order to eliminate y term from the system of equations we multiply equation 2 by -3.
The price per pound of apple is 1.25 dollars and the price per pound of bananas is 0.75 dollars.
Given equations,
[tex]5x + 3y = 8.5[/tex].........(1)
[tex]3x + 2y = 5.25[/tex].......(2)
Here x is the cost per pound of apples, and y is the cost per pound of bananas.
According to the question, multiply the first equation by 2, we get
[tex]10x+6y=17[/tex].....(3)
So, in order to eliminate y term from the system of equations we multiply equation 2 by -3, we get
[tex]-9x-6y=15.75[/tex].....(4)
Now Adding (3) and (4) equation, we get
[tex]x=1.25[/tex]
Putting the above value of x in equation 3 we get,
[tex]10\times1.25+6y=17\\12.5+6y=17\\6y=17-12.5\\6y=4.5\\y=\frac{4.5}{6} \\y=0.75[/tex]
Hence the price per pound of apple is 1.25 dollars and the price per pound of bananas is 0.75 dollars.

Mia agreed to borrow a 3 year loan with 4 percent interest to buy a motorcycle if Mia will pay a total of $444 in interest how much money did she borrow how much interest would Mia pay if the simple interest rate was 5 percent
Answer:
a) $3700
b) $555
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the loan is 3 years.
The interest after 3 years is $444.
The rate of the Simple Interest is 4%.
Simple Interest is given as:
I = (P * R * T) / 100
where P = principal (amount borrowed)
R = rate
T = length of years
Therefore:
[tex]444 = (P * 3 * 4) / 100\\\\444 = 12P / 100\\\\12P = 444 * 100\\\\12P = 44400\\\\P = 44400 / 12\\[/tex]
P = $3700
She borrowed $3700
b) If the simple interest was 5%, then:
I = (3700 * 5 * 3) / 100 = $555
The interest would be $555.

Answer:
73/55
Step-by-step explanation:
The cosecant (csc) is one of the reciprocal functions:
csc(θ) = 1/sin(θ)
sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ)
cot(θ) = 1/tan(θ)
So, if we can find the sine, we can find the cosecant.
__
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the sine is ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
The above tells you that ...
Csc = 1/Sin = Hypotenuse/Opposite
The hypotenuse of your triangle is AC = 73. The side opposite angle θ is BC = 55. So, the ratio you want is ...
csc(θ) = 73/55
Answer:
[tex]csc (\theta)=\frac{33}{55}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
1) The cosecant function is the inverse the sine function. So we can write:
[tex]csc(\theta)=\frac{1}{sin(\theta)}[/tex]
2) The sine function is the side opposite angle to [tex]\angle \theta[/tex] over the hypotenuse:
[tex]sin(\theta)=\frac{55}{33}[/tex]
3) So, remembering operations with fractions then the cosecant is:
[tex]csc \theta = \frac{1}{\frac{55}{33} } =1 \times \frac{33}{55}[/tex]
[tex]csc (\theta)=\frac{33}{55}[/tex]

Find the number of unique permutations of the letters in each word. SIGNATURE RESTAURANT
Answer:
Ok, we have two words:
"Signature"
The letters are: "S I G N A T U R E"
9 different letters.
Now, we can make only words with 9 letters, so we can think on 9 slots, and in each of those slots, we can input a letter of those 9.
For the first slot, we have 9 options.
For the second slot, we have 8 options (because on is already taken)
For the second slot, we have 7 options and so on.
Now, the total number of combinations is equal to the product of the number of options in each selection:
C = 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 362,880.
Now, our second word is Restaurant.
The letters here are " R E S T A U N" such that R, T and A appear two times each, so we have a total of 10 letters and 7 unique letters.
So first we do the same as beffore, 10 slots and we start with 10 options.
The total number of combinations will be:
C = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 3,628,800
A lot of combinations, but we are counting only unique words.
For example, as we have two R, we are counting two times the word:
Restaurant (because we could permutate only the two letters R and get the same word)
So we must divide by two for each letter repeated.
we have 3 letters repeated, we divide 3 times by 2.
C = ( 3,628,800)/(2*2*2) = 453,600
A pharmacist wants to mix a 30% saline solution with a 10% saline solution to get 200 mL of a 12% saline solution. How much of each solution should she use
Answer:
30% constituents=20 mL
10% constituents=180 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
x= 30% volume
y=10% volume
For our first equation, we know the total volume is 200 mL and is the sum
x+y=200
y=200-x (1)
For our second equation, we do a mass balance for 200 mL of final solution.
12% w/v = 0.12 g/mL
This means that in 1 mL of solution, we have 0.12 g of NaCl.
For any solution, concentration multiplied by volume will give the mass of NaCl:
Mass in x mL= C*V (g/mL) (mL)
So in 200 mL, we have
0.12*200 (g/mL) (mL)
=24g of NaCl
Cx*Vx + Cy*Vy=24
0.3x+0.1y=24 (2)
Substitute y=200-x into (2)
0.3x+0.1(200-x)=24
0.3x+20-0.1x=24
0.2x=24-20
0.2x=4
Divide both sides by 0.2
0.2x/0.2=4/0.2
x=20
Substitute x=20 into (1)
y=200-x
y=200-20
y=180
30% constituents=20 mL
10% constituents=180 mL

Heights of women (in inches) are approximately N(64.5,2.5) distributed. Compute the probability that the average height of 25 randomly selected women will be bigger than 66 inches.
Answer:
the probability that the average height of 25 randomly selected women will be bigger than 66 inches is 0.0013
Step-by-step explanation:
From the summary of the given statistical dataset
The mean and standard deviation for the sampling distribution of sample mean of 25 randomly selected women can be calculated as follows:
[tex]\mu_{\overline x} = \mu _x[/tex] = 64.5
[tex]\sigma_{\overline x }= \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\overline x }= \dfrac{2.5}{\sqrt {25}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\overline x }= \dfrac{2.5}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\overline x }[/tex] = 0.5
Thus X [tex]\sim[/tex] N (64.5,0.5)
Therefore, the probability that the average height of 25 randomly selected women will be bigger than 66 inches is:
[tex]P(\overline X > 66) = P ( \dfrac{\overline X - \mu_\overline x}{\sigma \overline x }>\dfrac{66 - 64.5}{0.5} })[/tex]
[tex]P(\overline X > 66) = P ( Z>\dfrac{66 - 64.5}{0.5} })[/tex]
[tex]P(\overline X > 66) = P ( Z>\dfrac{1.5}{0.5} })[/tex]
[tex]P(\overline X > 66) = P ( Z>3 })[/tex]
[tex]P(\overline X > 66) = 1- P ( Z<3 })[/tex]
[tex]P(\overline X > 66) = 1- 0.9987[/tex]
[tex]P(\overline X > 66) =0.0013[/tex]
the probability that the average height of 25 randomly selected women will be bigger than 66 inches is 0.0013

(2 points) Step F: For a randomly selected driver, are the events "driving while using a cell phone" and "having a traffic accident" independent events? Explain your answer. (2 points)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Regarding the reasons that traffic accidents occur:
28% are caused by distracted drivers using cell phones or texting
11% of the drivers' user their phones at any time
The probability of a driver having an accident is 5.26%
a)
DC = event that a randomly selected driver is using a cell phone.
P(DC)= 0.11
b)
TA = event that a randomly selected driver has a traffic accident.
P(TA)= 0.0526
c) and f)
If both events are related, i.e. dependent, then you would expect that the occurrence of one of these events will affect the probability of the other one. If they are not related, i.e. independent events, then their probabilities will not be affected by the occurrence of one or another:
If both events are independent P(TA|DC)= P(TA)
If they are dependent, then:
P(TA|DC)≠ P(TA)
P(TA|DC)= 0.28
P(TA)= 0.0526
As you can see the probability of the driver having an accident given that he was using the cell phone is different from the probability of the driver having an accident. This means that both events are related.
d) and e)
You have to calculate the probability that "the driver was distracted with the phone given that he had an accident", symbolically P(DC|TA)
P(DC|TA) = [tex]\frac{P(DCnTA)}{P(TA)}[/tex]
[tex]P(TA|DC)= \frac{P(TAnDC}{P(DC)}[/tex] ⇒ P(DC∩TA)= P(TA|DC)*P(DC)= 0.28 * 0.11= 0.0308
P(DC|TA) = [tex]\frac{0.0308}{0.0526}= 0.585= 0.59[/tex]

A swimming pool is circular with a 30-ft diameter. The depth is constant along east-west lines and increases linearly from 2 ft at the south end to 7 ft at the north end. Find the volume of water in the pool. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) ft3
Answer:
Volume of water in the pool is 3,182 ft^3
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, what we want to calculate is the volume of water in the pool.
We proceed as follows;
diameter of pool = 30ft
depth: 2 to 7ft linearly
average depth = (2 + 7)/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 ft
Volume = area * average depth
V = pi * radius^2 * 4.5
where radius = diameter/2 = 30/2 = 15 ft
V = pi * 15^2 * 4.5
V = 22/7 * 225 * 4.5
V = 3,182.14 ft^3
which is 3,182 ft^3 to nearest whole number
The volume of water in the pool is; Volume = 3181 ft³
We are given;
Diameter of swimming Pool; d = 30 ft
Thus; radius; r = d/2 = 30/2 = 15 ft
We are told that the depth is constant along east-west lines and increases linearly from 2 ft at the south end to 7 ft at the north end.
Thus, average depth is;
h_avg = (2 + 7)/2
h_avg = 4.5 ft
Formula for area is; A = πr²
Thus;
A = π × 15²
A = 225π
Formula for volume here is;
Volume = Area × depth
Volume = 225π × 4.5
Volume = 3180.86 ft³
Approximating to a whole number gives;
Volume = 3181 ft³

Answer:
With calculator;√24.5 = 4.9497
With differentials;With calculator;√24.5 = 4.95
The value of the square root gotten using differentials is an approximate value of the one gotten with a calculator
Step-by-step explanation:
With calculator;√24.5 = 4.9497
Using differentials;
The nearest number to 24.5 whose square root can be taken is 25, so let us consider that x = 25 and δx = dx = - 0.5
Now, let's consider;
y = √x - - - (eq 1)
Differentiating with respect to x, we have;
dy/dx = 1/(2√x) - - - - (eq 2)
Taking the differential of eq 2,we have;
dy = (1/(2√x)) dx
Using the values of x = 25 and dx = 0.5,we have;
dy = (1/(2√25)) × 0.5
dy = 0.05
Now;
√24.5 = y - dy
√24.5 = √x - dy
√24.5 = √25 - 0.05
√24.5 = 5 - 0.05
√24.5 = 4.95

Smoothing a time series of observations A. is a form of statistical cheating. B. allows statisticians to use less data than would otherwise be required. C. renders the resultant forecast unusable. D. is used to reveal an underlying pattern in the data.
Answer:
D. is used to reveal an underlying pattern in the data.
Step-by-step explanation:
Smoothing a time series is achieved when a computer uses some pre-programmed calculation methods to remove noise from large volumes of data. Smoothing helps a user detect patterns in a set of data, thus making it possible to make future predictions. For example, smoothing can be used in the prediction of the rise and fall of stock prices. This helps the traders to have an idea of what to expect in the cost of trading.
Although smoothing reveals the patterns in a set of data, it provides no explanation as to why it is so. It is left to the researcher to draw conclusions as to the reasons for the patterns.

Mai invests $20,000 at age 20. She hopes the investment will be worth $500,000 when she turns 40. If the interest compounds continuously, approximately what rate of growth will she need to achieve her goal? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Answer:
[tex]\approx[/tex] 17.5% per annum
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Money invested = $20,000 at the age of 20 years.
Money expected to be $500,000 at the age of 40.
Time = 40 - 20 = 20 years
Interest is compounded annually.
To find:
Rate of growth = ?
Solution:
First of all, let us have a look at the formula for compound interest.
[tex]A = P \times (1+\frac{R}{100})^T[/tex]
Where A is the amount after T years compounding at a rate of R% per annum. P is the principal amount.
Here, We are given:
P = $20,000
A = $500,000
T = 20 years
R = ?
Putting all the values in the formula:
[tex]500000 = 20000 \times (1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{500000}{20000} =(1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow 25 =(1+\frac{R}{100})^{20}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt[20]{25} =1+\frac{R}{100}\\\Rightarrow 1.175 = 1+0.01R\\\Rightarrow R \approx17.5\%[/tex]

multiples of 10 ONLY contain even numbers because the unit digit for a multiple of 10 is 0.
So whenever you multiply a number by 10 it will be even

Let X denote the distance (m) that an animal moves from its birth site to the first territorial vacancy it encounters. Suppose that for banner-tailed kangaroo rats, X has an exponential distribution with parameter λ = 0.0143. (a) What is the probability that the distance is at most 100 m? What is the probability that the distance is at most 200 m? What is the probability that the distance is between 100 m and 200 m? (b) What is the probability that distance exceeds the mean distance by more than 2 standard deviations? (c) What is the value of the median distance?
Answer and Step-by-step explanation: For an exponential distribution, the probability distribution function is:
f(x) = λ.[tex]e^{-\lambda.x}[/tex]
and the cumulative distribution function, which describes the probability distribution of a random variable X, is:
F(x) = 1 - [tex]e^{-\lambda.x}[/tex]
(a) Probability of distance at most 100m, with λ = 0.0143:
F(100) = 1 - [tex]e^{-0.0143.100}[/tex]
F(100) = 0.76
Probability of distance at most 200:
F(200) = 1 - [tex]e^{-0.0143.200}[/tex]
F(200) = 0.94
Probability of distance between 100 and 200:
F(100≤X≤200) = F(200) - F(100)
F(100≤X≤200) = 0.94 - 0.76
F(100≤X≤200) = 0.18
(b) The mean, E(X), of a probability distribution is calculated by:
E(X) = [tex]\frac{1}{\lambda}[/tex]
E(X) = [tex]\frac{1}{0.0143}[/tex]
E(X) = 69.93
The standard deviation is the square root of variance,V(X), which is calculated by:
σ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{1}{\lambda^{2}} }[/tex]
σ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{1}{0.0143^{2}} }[/tex]
σ = 69.93
Distance exceeds the mean distance by more than 2σ:
P(X > 69.93+2.69.93) = P(X > 209.79)
P(X > 209.79) = 1 - P(X≤209.79)
P(X > 209.79) = 1 - F(209.79)
P(X > 209.79) = 1 - (1 - [tex]e^{-0.0143*209.79}[/tex])
P(X > 209.79) = 0.0503
(c) Median is a point that divides the value in half. For a probability distribution:
P(X≤m) = 0.5
[tex]\int\limits^m_0 f({x}) \, dx[/tex] = 0.5
[tex]\int\limits^m_0 {\lambda.e^{-\lambda.x}} \, dx[/tex] = 0.5
[tex]\lambda.\frac{e^{-\lambda.x}}{-\lambda}[/tex] = [tex]-e^{-\lambda.x} + e^{0}[/tex]
[tex]1 - e^{-\lambda.m}[/tex] = 0.5
[tex]-e^{-\lambda.m}[/tex] = - 0.5
ln([tex]e^{-0.0143.m}[/tex]) = ln(0.5)
-0.0143.m = - 0.0693
m = 48.46
