Answer: Ethan spent 4 hours mowing lawns.


Step-by-step explanation:

Mowing pay rate: $6/hour.
Groceries pay rate: $7.50/hour.

Assume mowing hours = x.
Bagging groceries hours = y.

The difference in hours is 10:
y - x = 10    ---------(1)

Total earnings: $129, which means:
6x + 7.50y = 129    ---------(2)

From (1), y = x + 10.

Substitute into (2):
6x + 7.50(x + 10) = 129
6x + 7.50x + 75 = 129
13.50x + 75 = 129

Subtract 75:
13.50x = 54

Divide both sides by 13.50:
x = 4

Calculate y:
y = 4 + 10 = 14

Therefore, Ethan worked 4 hours mowing lawns.

Let x represent the hours Ethan spent bagging groceries. Then, hours spent mowing lawns equals x + 10. The equation to solve is:

6x + 7.50(x + 10) = 129

Solving this gives x = 4, meaning Ethan worked 14 hours mowing lawns.

A box has 14 camera of which 6 are refurbished and 8 are new. If four of these 14 cameras are selected at random without replace
Leona [12618]

Answer:

160/1001, 175/1001

Step-by-step explanation:

i) We calculate:

₈C₁ methods to select 1 new camera from a selection of 8

₆C₃ methods to select 3 refurbished cameras from a selection of 8

₁₄C₄ methods to select 4 cameras from the total of 14 cameras

The probability formula is:

P = ₈C₁ ₆C₃ / ₁₄C₄

P = 8×20 / 1001

P = 160 / 1001

P ≈ 0.160

ii) For at most one new camera, it means we want either one new camera or none at all. We've calculated the probability of selecting one new camera already. The probability of not selecting any new camera is equivalent to selecting 4 refurbished cameras:

P = ₆C₄ / ₁₄C₄

P = 15 / 1001

Therefore, the combined probability is:

P = 160/1001 + 15/1001

P = 175/1001

P ≈ 0.175

A farmer estimates that he has 9,000 bees producing honey on his farm. The farmer becomes concerned when he realizes the populat
Inessa [12570]
To derive the function that characterizes the bee population:

1) Initially, there are 9,000 bees in the first year.

2) In the second year, a reduction of 5% occurs => 9,000 - 0.05 * 9,000 = 9,000 * (1 - 0.05) = 9,000 * 0.95

3) Each subsequent year sees a 5% decline => 9,000 * (0.95)^(number of years)

4) Let x represent years and f(x) signify the bee count, then: f(x) = 9,000 (0.95)^x.

Evaluation of the claims:

<span>1) The function f(x) = 9,000(1.05)x applies to the scenario.

FALSE: WE ESTABLISHED IT AS f(x) = 9,000 (0.95)^x

2) The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95)x applies to the scenario.

TRUE: THIS IS THE RESULT OF OUR PRIOR ANALYSIS.

3) After 2 years, the farmer projects approximately 8,120 bees will be left.

Calculating:

f(2) = 9,000 * (0.95)^2 = 9,000 * 0.9025 = 8,122

Thus, this statement is TRUE

4) After 4 years, the farmer can predict there will be roughly 1,800 bees left.

f(4) = 9,000 * (0.95)^4 = 9,000 * 0.81450625 = 7,330

This statement is therefore FALSE

5) The domain values contextual to this situation are restricted to whole numbers.

FALSE: DOMAIN VALUES INCLUDE ALL NON-NEGATIVE REAL NUMBERS. FOR INSTANCE, THE FUNCTION IS VALID AT X = 5.5

6) The range values pertinent to this situation are restricted to whole numbers.

TRUE: FRACTIONS OF BEES CANNOT EXIST.

tester [12383]

Answer:

1. 3.767

2. 0.145

Step-by-step explanation:

Define X as the exam scores and Y as the number of drinks.

X     Y   X-Xbar    Y-Ybar   (X-Xbar)(Y-Ybar)    (X-Xbar)²       (Y-Ybar)²    

75    5    -2.3          2.3          -5.29                      5.29              5.29

92    3     14.7         0.3           4.41                       216.09           0.09

84    2     6.7         -0.7           -4.69                     44.89             0.49

64    4     -13.3        1.3           -17.29                     176.89           1.69

64    2     -13.3       -0.7           9.31                       176.89           0.49

86    7     8.7           4.3           37.41                     75.69            18.49

81     3     3.7           0.3           1.11                         13.69             0.09

61     0    -16.3        -2.7           44.01                     265.69          7.29

73    1      -4.3         -1.7            7.31                        18.49             2.89

93    0    15.7         -2.7           -42.39                    246.49          7.29

sumx=773, sumy=27, sum(x-xbar)(y-ybar)= 33.9, sum(X-Xbar)²= 1240.1,sum(Y-Ybar)²= 44.1

Xbar=sumx/n=773/10=77.3

Ybar=sumy/n=27/10=2.7

1.

Cov(x,y)=sxy=\frac{Sum(X-Xbar)(Y-Ybar)}{n-1}

Cov(x,y)=33.9/9

Cov(x,y)=3.76667

Thus, the sample covariance of exam scores and energy drink consumption is 3.767

2.

Cor(x,y)=r=\frac{Sum(X-Xbar)(Y-Ybar)}{\sqrt{Sum(X-Xbar)^2sum(Y-Ybar)^2} }

Cor(x,y)=r=\frac{33.9}{\sqrt{(1240.1)(44.1)} }

Cor(x,y)=r=33.9/233.85553

Cor(x,y)=r=0.14496

The sample correlation coefficient for the relationship between exam scores and energy drink consumption is 0.145.
