A civil engineer is testing the reliability of traffic signal controllers produced by two different companies. He has 20 sets of controllers from each company, and he has been given clearance to install them at 40 different intersections in the city. He randomly assigns the controllers from company A to 20 intersections and the controllers from company B to the other intersections. The most important reason for this random assignment is that: a. randomization is a good way to create two groups of 20 intersections that are as similar as possible, so that comparisons can be made between the two groups.
b. randomization eliminates the impact of any confounding variables.
c. randomization makes the results less variable.
d. randomization ensures that the study is double-blind.
e. randomization reduces the impact of outliers.

third choice down

step-by-step explanation:

the first inequality is based on the number of adults and campers, and the second inequality is based on the cost of feeding both the adult and the camper.

we know that there is room for 525 people max.   it's ok to have less than 525, but it's not ok to have more than 525, so the inequality is less than or equal to.   the number combination of adults (x) and campers (y) cannot exceed this 525 max.   therefore:

x + y ≤ 525

now we talk about cost.   it costs $9 to feed one adult, so depending upon the number of adults you have (x) depends upon how much it will cost to feed that number of adults.   same with the campers, who cost $5 to feed.   the adults can be represented by 9x and the campers can be represented by 5y.   since the budget cannot exceed 1,200, the second inequality is:

9x + 5y ≤ 1200
