Answer:

  • Abel is 7 and Asare is 17 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Abel is x and age of Asare is y.

Three times the age of Abel is four more than the age of Asare:

  • 3x = y + 4

And

In three years, the sum of their ages will be 30 years:

  • x + 3 + y + 3 = 30

We got two equations.

Simplify and solve by substitution:

  • y = 3x - 4
  • x + y = 24

  • 3x - 4 + x = 24    Substitute y
  • 4x - 4 = 24
  • 4x = 28
  • x = 7

Find y:

  • 17 + y = 24
  • y = 7

Flip a coin three times. You will win $2 for each heads. What is the expected winning (expectation of your winning)
Romashka [77]

The three coins could land any these 8 ways:

HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT

P(3 heads) = 1 way out of 8  or 1/8

P(2 heads) = 3 ways out of 8 or 3/8

P(1 head) = 3 ways out of 8 or 3/8

P(0 heads) = 1 way out of 8 or 1/8

x=Winnings  P(x)  E(x)=x�P(x)

    $3      1/8      $.375

    $2      3/8      $.75

    $1      3/8      $.375

  -$10      1/8     -$1.25

Svetach [21]

Answer:

A. P=0.4013

B. P=0.9884

C. P=0.3222

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this with a binomial random variable.

The sample size is n=10.

The probability is p=0.05 for scrap and p=0.05+0.15=0.20 for degraded or scrap.

The probability of having k scrap gears in the sample is:

P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\\\P(x=k) = \dbinom{10}{k} 0.05^{k} 0.95^{10-k}\\\\\\

The probability that one or more is scrap can be calculated as 100% less the probability that no one is scrap:

P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)\\\\\\P(x=0) = \dbinom{10}{0} p^{0}(1-p)^{10}=1*1*0.5987=0.5987\\\\\\P(x\geq1)=1-0.5987=0.4013

The probability that 8 or more are not scrap is equal to the probability of having 2 or less that are scrap:

P(x\leq2)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)\\\\\\P(x=0) = \dbinom{10}{0} p^{0}(1-p)^{10}=1*1*0.5987=0.5987\\\\\\P(x=1) = \dbinom{10}{1} p^{1}(1-p)^{9}=10*0.05*0.6302=0.3151\\\\\\P(x=2) = \dbinom{10}{2} p^{2}(1-p)^{8}=45*0.0025*0.6634=0.0746\\\\\\P(x\leq2)=0.5987+0.3151+0.0746=0.9884

The probability that more than two are degraded or scrap (p=0.2) is calculated as:

P(x>2)=1-P(x\leq2)=1-(P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2))\\\\\\P(x=0) = \dbinom{10}{0} p^{0}(1-p)^{10}=1*1*0.1074=0.1074\\\\\\P(x=1) = \dbinom{10}{1} p^{1}(1-p)^{9}=10*0.2*0.1342=0.2684\\\\\\P(x=2) = \dbinom{10}{2} p^{2}(1-p)^{8}=45*0.04*0.1678=0.3020\\\\\\P(x>2)=1-(0.1074+0.2684+0.3020)=1-0.6778=0.3222

Katherine is buying an amusement park ticket for $65. She has $125 in her checking account and $20 in her wallet. Which is the m
Daniel [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Price of ticket for amusement park = $65

Amount in her checking account = $125

Amount in her wallet = $20

So, as we know that she only need $65 for the ticket,

As she had $20 already in her wallet so,

She need to withdraw the remaining amount from her checking account

65-20\\\\=\$45

So, she has to withdraw $45 from her checking account.

Amount left in her account will be

\$125-\$45\\\\=$80
