Answer: 220

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Children (x): $2

Teens (y): $3, \frac{3}{4}x

Adults: (z): $5

Quantity: x + y + z = 570  ⇒  x + \frac{3}{4}x + z = 570  ⇒ 1.75x + z = 570  

Cost: 2x + 3y + 5z = 1950  ⇒  2x + 3(\frac{3}{4}x) + 5z = 1950  ⇒  2x + 2.25x + 5z = 1950  ⇒  4.25x + 5z = 1950

Qty:    1.75x +  z =  570  →  5(1.75x +  z =  570)  →    8.75x + 5z = 2850

Cost: 4.25x + 5z = 1950 → -1(4.25x + 5z = 1950 → <u> -4.25x - 5z</u> = <u>-1950 </u>

                                                                                  4.50x        =   900

                                                                                          x       =    200

Teens (y): \frac{3}{4}x

           y = \frac{3}{4}(200)

             = \frac{600}{4}

             = 150

Quantity: x + y + z = 570  

              200 + 150 + z = 570

                     350     + z = 570

                                    z = 220

mariarad [96]

Answer:

a. \frac{35}{51}

b. \frac{51}{100}

c. \frac{1}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose cities represented by C', suburbs represented by S and rural represented by R,

Let x be the total number of bonds issued throughout the US,

According to the question,

n(A) = 70% of x = 0.7x,

n(B) = 10% of x = 0.1x,

n(C) = 20% of x = 0.2x,

n(A∩C') = 50% of n(A) = 0.5 × 0.7x = 0.35x,

n(A∩S) = 20% of n(A) = 0.2 × 0.7x = 0.14x,

n(A∩R) = 30% of n(A) = 0.3 × 0.7x = 0.21x,

n(B∩C') = 40% of n(B) = 0.4 × 0.1x = 0.04x,

n(B∩S) = 30% of n(B) = 0.3 × 0.1x = 0.03x,

n(B∩R) = 30% of n(B) = 0.3 × 0.1x = 0.03x,

n(C∩C') = 60% of n(C) = 0.6 × 0.2x = 0.12x,

n(C∩S) = 15% of n(C) = 0.15 × 0.2x = 0.03x,

n(C∩R) = 25% of n(C) = 0.25 × 0.2x = 0.05x,

n(C') = n(A∩C')  + n(B∩C')  + n(C∩C')  = 0.35x + 0.04x + 0.12x = 0.51x

n(S) = n(A∩S) + n(B∩S) + n(C∩S) = 0.14x + 0.03x + 0.03x = 0.20x

a. The probability that it will receive an A rating, if a new municipal bond is to be issued by a city,

P(\frac{A}{C'})=\frac{P(A\cap C')}{P(C')}=\frac{0.35x/x}{0.51x/x}=\frac{0.35}{0.51}=\frac{35}{51}

b. The proportion of municipal bonds are issued by cities = \frac{n(C')}{x}

=\frac{0.51x}{x}

=\frac{51}{100}

c. The proportion of municipal bonds are issued by suburbs = \frac{n(S)}{x}

=\frac{0.20x}{x}

=\frac{20}{100}

=\frac{1}{5}

The probability distribution for the random variable x follows. x f(x) 20 0.20 25 0.15 30 0.30 35 0.35 (a) Is this probability d
Damm [24]

Answer:

(a) The probability distribution is valid.

(b) The probability that x = 30 is 0.30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution of the random variable <em>X</em> is:

<em>    x</em>:  20   |  25  |  30   |   35

f (<em>x</em>): 0.20 | 0.15 | 0.30 | 0.35

(a)

The properties of a probability distribution are:

  1. 0 ≤ P (X) ≤ 1
  2. ∑ P (X) = 1

All the probability value are more than 0 and less than 1.

Compute the sum of all the probabilities as follows:

\sum P(X)=0.20+0.15+0.30+0.35=1

The sum of all probabilities is 1.

Thus, the probability distribution is valid.

(b)

Consider the probability distribution table.

The probability of <em>X</em> = 30 is,

P (X = 30) = 0.30.

Thus, the probability that x = 30 is 0.30.
