Paper clips are sold in small boxes and in large boxes.
There is a total of 1115 paper clips in 4 small boxes and 5 large boxes.
There is a total of 530 paper clips in 3 small boxes and 2 large boxes.
Work out the number of paper clips in each small box and in each large box.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Small boxes contain 60 paperclips and large boxes contain 175 paperclips.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up two simultaneous equations:

Use s for small boxes and l for large boxes. (You could use any letters)

4s + 5l= 1115

3s + 2l= 530

2. Number the equations:

4s + 5l= 1115 (1)

3s + 2l= 530 (2)

3. Multiply both equations to get the same number of ls (for different questions the letters might be different):

(1) x 2:

8s + 10l= 2230 (3)

(2) x 5:

15s + 10l= 2650 (4)

4. Subtract one from the other to get rid of the ls:

(4) - (3)

  8s + 10l= 2230

- 15s + 10l= 2650

   7s        =420

5. Solve for s:

s= 420/7= 60

6. Substitute the s value into one of the original equations to find l:

4 x 60 + 5l= 1115

240 + 5l= 1115

5l= 1115 - 240

5l= 875

l= 875/5= 175

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the blue triangle is the image as it has the ' on the letters. For example G'.

To first start off, you can look at any points to help solve this problem. I used the point H to help me solve this

Since we know that the black triangle is our old image we know the distance in x values between the black triangle to the blue is -2 as it moves to the left 2 times. (Note: it's going more into the negatives, if it were going to the right it would be positive)

Now we do the same to find our y values, and we see that y value for h on the black triangle goes up +1.

Now we know that the X goes to the left two times to get -2 and that the Y goes up once to get +1.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

b. (x - 2, y + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make that determination visually. However, if you need numbers...

Pick a point on the black triangle, let's say F(0, 0) and the corresponding point on the blue tirangle F(-2, 1)

(y₁ + y₂) / (x₁ + x₂) = (0 + 1) / (0 + (-2)) = 1 / -2

[tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex] = [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  

So, from the F(0,0) position move -2 to the left then up 1 to land on F(-2, 1).

This translated to (x - 2, y + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 3/4 and a y-intercept of -7 in slope - intercept and point -slope form.

Answers

slope intercept:

y=3/4x-7

point slope form:

I used the y intercept (0,-7) as a point to plug into point slope form.

y+7=3/4(x-0)

The linear equation of the line is y = 3/4x -  7 and y + 7 = 3/4(x - 0)

How to determine the line equation?

The slope is given as:

m = 3/4

The y-intercept is given as:

c = -7

A linear equation in slope intercept form is represented as:

y = mx + c

So, we have:

y = 3/4x -  7

The equation in point slope form is calculated as follows:

y = 3/4x -  7

Add 7 to both sides

y + 7 = 3/4x

Express 3/4x as 3/4(x)

y + 7 = 3/4(x)

Subtract 0 from x

y + 7 = 3/4(x - 0)

Hence, the linear equation of the line is y = 3/4x -  7 and y + 7 = 3/4(x - 0)

A large automobile insurance company selected samples of single and married male policyholders and recorded the number who made an insurance claim over the preceding three-year period.
Single Policyholders Married Policyholders
n1 = 500 n2 = 800
Number making claims = 95 Number making claims = 80
(a) Use a level of significance a = 0.05. Test to determine whether the claim rates differ between single and married male policyholders. Explain your determination.
(b) Provide a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions for the two populations.

Answers

Answer:

a

The  determination is  

    There is sufficient to conclude that proportion of the single policy

b

  The 95% confidence interval is  [tex] 0.0498    < p_1 - p_2 < 0.1302 [/tex]  

holders is difference from the proportion of married policy holders

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size for single policy holders is [tex]n_1 = 500[/tex]

The number of single police holders making claim is k = 95

The sample size for married policy holders [tex]n_2 = 800[/tex]

The number of double police holders making claim is u = 80

The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] obtained from the

normal distribution table is

[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p_1 = p_2[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : p_1 \ne p_2[/tex]

The sample proportion of single police holders making claim is

[tex]\r p_ 1 = \frac{k}{n_1}[/tex]

=> [tex]\r p_ 1 = \frac{95}{500}[/tex]

=> [tex]\r p_ 1 = 0.19[/tex]

The sample proportion of married police holders making claim is

[tex]\r p_ 2 = \frac{u}{n_2}[/tex]

=> [tex]\r p_ 2 = \frac{80}{800}[/tex]

=> [tex]\r p_ 2 = 0.1[/tex]

Generally the pooled sample proportion is mathematically represented as

[tex]\r p = \frac{k + u}{n_1 + n_2}[/tex]

=> [tex]\r p = \frac{95 + 80}{500 + 800}[/tex]

=> [tex]\r p = 0.1346 [/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

[tex]z = \frac{\r p_1 - \r p_2 }{ \sqrt{ \r p (1 - \r p )* [\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2} ]} }[/tex]

=> [tex]z = \frac{0.19 - 0.1 }{ \sqrt{0.1346 (1 - 0.1346 )* [\frac{1}{500} + \frac{1}{800} ]} }[/tex]

=>[tex]z = 4.6256 [/tex]

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

[tex]p-value = 2* P(Z >4.6256 )[/tex]

From the z table [tex]P(Z >4.6256 ) = 0 [/tex]

[tex]p-value = 2* 0 = 0[/tex]

From the calculation we see that the p-value < [tex]\alpha[/tex] so the null hypothesis is rejected

Hence there is sufficient to conclude that proportion of the single policy holders is difference from the proportion of married policy holders

Generally the standard error is mathematically represented as

[tex]SE = \sqrt{ \frac{\r p_1 (1 -\r p_1)}{n_1} + \frac{\r p_2 (1 -\r p_2)}{n_2} }[/tex]

=> [tex]SE = \sqrt{ \frac{0.19 (1 -0.19)}{500} + \frac{ 0.1 (1 - 0.1)}{800} }[/tex]

=> [tex]SE =0.0205012[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * SE[/tex]

=> [tex]E = 1.96 *0.0205012 [/tex]

=> [tex]E = 0.0402035[/tex]

Generally the 95% confidence level is mathematically represented as

[tex]\r p_1 - \r p_2 - E < p_1 - p_2 < \r p_1 - \r p_2 + E[/tex]

=> [tex]0.19  - 0.10 -0.0402035    < p_1 - p_2 < 0.19  - 0.10 + 0.0402035  [/tex]

=>  [tex]0.09 -0.0402035    < p_1 - p_2 < 0.09 + 0.0402035  [/tex]

=> [tex] 0.0498 < p_1 - p_2 < 0.1302 [/tex]
