Does telling a consumer a product is on sale increase the likelihood that the consumer will buy the product? Over four months, new customers that enter a car dealership and ask to see a particular model of vehicle are randomized to one of two groups. The first group is simply quoted the retail price of the vehicle. The second group is told the vehicle is being offered at a reduced price for a special one-day sale before being quoted the retail price. Both groups are helped by the same sales associate, and the proportion of customers who request to buy the vehicle the same day is then compared between the two groups. What type of study is this?

step-by-step explanation:

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
