Answer:
The number of expected people at the concert is 8,500 people
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to determine the expected number of people that will attend a concert if we are given the probabilities that it will rain and it will not rain.
We proceed as follows;
The probability that it will rain is 30% or 0:3
The probability that it will not rain would be 1 -0.3 = 0.7
Now, we proceed to calculate the number of people that will attend by multiplying the probabilities by the expected number of people when it rains and when it does not rain.
Mathematically this is;
Number of expected guests = (probability of not raining * number of expected guests when it does not rain) + (probability of raining * number of expected guests when it rains)
Let’s plug values;
Number of expected guests = (0.3 * 5,000) + (0.7 * 10,000) = 1,500 + 7,000 = 8,500 people
Answer:
14. x=-2.5, y = -7
15. x=28 y = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
14. Let's solve this system by elimination. Multiply the first equation by -1.
-1*(4x-y)= -1*(- 3)
-4x +y = 3
Then add this to the second equation.
-4x+y = 3
6x-y= - 8
--------------
2x = -5
Divide each side by 2
x = -2.5
We still need to find y
-4x+y =3
-4(-2.5) + y =3
10 +y =3
Subtract 10 from each side.
y = 3-10
y = -7
15.I will again use elimination to solve this system, because using substitution will give me fractions which are harder to work with. I will elimiate the y variable. Multiply the first equation by 11
11(
5x+6y)= 11*20
55x+66y = 220
Multiply the second equation by -6
-6(9x+11y)=32*(-6)
-54x-66y = -192
Add the modified equations together.
55x+66y = 220
-54x-66y = -192
---------------------------
x = 28
We still need to solve for y
5x+6y = 20
5*28 + 6y =20
140 + 6y = 20
Subtract 140 from each side
6y = -120
Divide by 6
y = -20
obviously 4 is bigger coz 12/7 will yeild you 1.71
