Tara's website, verdantveggies.com, specializes in the sale of rare or unusual vegetable seeds. Tara sells packets of sweet-pepper seeds for $2.85 each and packets of hot-pepper seeds for $4.29 each. She also offers a 16-packet mixed-pepper assortment combining packets of both types of seeds at $3.30 per packet. How many packets of each type of seed are in the assortment?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let's define the variables:

S = # of sweet pepper seeds in the mix pack.

H = # of hot pepper seeds in the mix pack.

Let's suppose that $3.30 is the mean price of the seeds in the mix pack.

Then we have two equations:

S + H = 16.

(S*$2.85 + H*$4.29)/16 = $3.30

Now let's solve this system.

The first step is isolating one variable in one of the equations, i will isolate S in the first equation.

S = 16 - H.

Now we can replace this in the second equation, and solve it for H.

( (16 - H)*$2.85 + H*$4.29)/16 = $3.30

( (16 - H)*$2.85 + H*$4.29) = $3.30*16 = $52.80

$45.60 + H*$1.44 = $52.80

H*$1.44 = $52.80 - $45.60 = $7.20

H = $7.20/$1.44 = 5

Then in the mix pack there are 5 hot-pepper seeds.

And the other 11 must be sweet-pepper seeds

Answer 2

Algebraic equations are equations that contain unknown variables.

The number of packets of sweet-pepper seeds is 11 and the number of packets of hot-pepper seeds is 5.

Let's represent:is

The number of packets of sweet-pepper seeds = s

The number of packets of hot-pepper seeds = h

Based on this question, our system of equations are:

$2.85 x s + $4.29 x h = $3.30(16)

2.85s + 4.29h = 52.8...........Equation 1

s + h = 16...........Equation 2

s = 16 - h

We substitute 16 - h for s in Equation 1

2.85(16 - h) + 4.29h = 52.8

45.6 -2.85h + 4.29h = 52.8

Subtract 45.6 from both sides

45.6 - 45.6 -2.85h + 4.29h = 52.8 - 45.6

1.44h = 7.2

h = 5

There are 5 hot-pepper seeds in the assortment.

Solving for the number of sweet-pepper seeds.

s = 16 - h

s = 16 - 5

s = 11

There are 11 sweet-pepper seeds in the assortment.

Therefore, the number of packets of sweet-pepper seeds is 11 and the number of packets of hot-pepper seeds is 5.

Answers

Answer:

a

The confidence interval for the population variance is ​[tex] 5.49 < \sigma^2 < 37.02 [/tex]  

The correct option is  C

b

The confidence interval for the population standard deviation is [tex] 2.34 < \sigma < 6.08 [/tex]

The correct option is  A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n =  14

    The standard deviation is  [tex]s = \$3.42[/tex]

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

     [tex]df =  14 -1[/tex]

=>   [tex]df =  13 [/tex]    

Given that the confidence level is  98%  then that level of significance is  

     [tex]\alpha = (100 -98) \%[/tex]

=>  [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex]

Generally the 98% confidence interval for the variance  is mathematically represented as

     [tex]\frac{(n- 1) s^2}{x^2 _{[\frac{\alpha }{2} , df]}}  < \sigma^2 < \frac{(n- 1) s^2}{x^2 _{[1- \frac{\alpha }{2} , df]}}[/tex]

=> [tex]\frac{(14- 1) (3.42)^2}{x^2 _{[\frac{0.02 }{2} , 13]}}  < \sigma^2 < \frac{(14- 1) (3.42)^2}{x^2 _{[1- \frac{0.02 }{2} , 13]}}[/tex]

From the chi -distribution table  

     [tex]x^2 _{[1- \frac{0.02 }{2} , 13]} = 4.107[/tex]

and

    [tex]x^2 _{[\frac{0.02 }{2} , 13]} = 27.689[/tex]

So

=> [tex]\frac{(14- 1) (3.42)^2}{27.689}  < \sigma^2 < \frac{(14- 1) (3.42)^2}{4.107}[/tex]    

=> [tex] 5.49 < \sigma^2 < 37.02 [/tex]    

Generally the 98% confidence interval for the standard deviation   is mathematically represented as

   [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(n- 1) s^2}{x^2 _{[\frac{\alpha }{2} , df]}}}   < \sigma <\sqrt{ \frac{(n- 1) s^2}{x^2 _{[1- \frac{\alpha }{2} , df]}}}[/tex]

=> [tex]\sqrt{5.49}  < \sigma < \sqrt{37.02 }[/tex]

=> [tex] 2.34 < \sigma < 6.08 [/tex]

Three high school participated in a study to evaluate the effectiveness of a new computer-based mathematics curriculum. Four 24-student sections of freshman algebra were available for the study. The two types of instruction (standard curriculum, computer-based curriculum) were randomly assigned to the four sections in each of the three schools. At the end of the term, a standard mathematics achievement test was given to each of the 24 students in each section.
a. Is this study experimental, observational, or mixed experimental and observational? Why?
b. Identify important factors, factor levels, and/or factor-level combinations.
c. Classify these factors as within- or between-subjects
d. what’s the dependent measures?
e. What is the basic experiment unit of study?

Answers

Answer:

Given that;

There are three high schools, each having four sections of every 24 students

the 2 types of instructions are Standard curriculum  & computer based curriculum

a)

this study is experimental

this is because the study did not just observe the student's performance but randomly assign the performance to different techniques that have some certain control over the technique of teaching and then observe their performance afterwards

b)

-important  factors are; high schools, instruction type and scores

- Highschool has 2 levels: level one there are three high schools,  level 2 each having four sections of every 24 students

-instruction type: has one level which is  divided into two namely; standard base and computer based

Scores: doesn't have levels

c)

there are 3 schools and 4 sections  so the factor high school has between subjects components

factor instruction type also has between subjects because there are two different types available

there are 24 students in each section which are within subjects

d)

the score on the test  is the dependent measures

e)

“STUDENT” in each section is he basic experiment unit of study

The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding.

Here are data for beak heat loss, as a percent of total body heat loss, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius:

2/15 = h/125 need a step by step please

Answers

Answer:  h = 50/3

====================================

Work Shown:

2/15 = h/125

2*125 = 15*h .... cross multiply

250 = 15h

15h = 250

h = 250/15

h = (5*50)/(5*3)

h = 50/3

-----------------

Extra info:

50/3 = (48+2)/3

50/3 = (48/3)+(2/3)

50/3 = 16 + (2/3)

50/3 = 16 & 2/3

The improper fraction 50/3 converts to the mixed number 16 & 2/3

Another way to see this is to use long division to get 50/3 = 16 remainder 2.

bob is on his way home in his car. he has driven 30 miles so far, which is three-fifths of the way home. what is the total length of his drive?​

Answers

The length of Bob's drive as a fraction = 5/5

Let the length of his total drive be = x

30 miles driven by Bob as a fraction =

= 3/5 of x = 30

= 3/5x = 30

= 5/x = 30 ÷ 3 ( transposing ×3 from LHS to RHS changes ×3 to ÷3 )

=5/x = 10

= x = 10 × 5 ( transposing ÷5 from LHS to RHS changes ÷5 to ×5 )

= x = 50

Now we have to see what is =

= 2/5 of 50

= 2/5 × 50

= 100/5

= 20 miles

So , total length of Bob's drive = 30 miles + 20 miles = 50 miles .

∴ The total length of Bob's drive is 50 miles .

x ∈ [−2; 1] ∪ 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Inequality: (x-1)(x+2)(2x-7)≤0

Solution:

If we solve the corresponding equation (x-1)(x+2)(2x-7)²= 0, we get roots

x =  -2, 1, 3.5

We need to consider the following 4 intervals:

(−∞; −2), [−2; 1], (1; 3.5), (3.5; ∞)

1st interval (−∞; −2)

The expression (x-1)(x+2)(2x-7)² is positive as two of the multiples are negative and one is always positive (square number), and therefore  does not satisfy the inequality.

2nd interval  [−2; 1]

The expression is negative as only one of the multiples is negative, and therefore the interval (−1; 2) satisfies the inequality.

3rd interval (1; 3.5)

The expression is positive as all the multiples are positive. Therefore, the interval (1; 3.5) also does not satisfy the inequality.

4th interval

The expression is positive as above, and therefore also does not satisfy the inequality.  

So, the answer to the inequality is:

x ∈ [−2; 1] ∪ 3.5
