Let's define the following variables first.

A = number of tickets sold for adults

C = number of tickets sold for children

From the question, we can say that or form the following equations:

1. A + C = 790 tickets

2. $7A + $4C = $4, 390

The first equation can also be written as A = 790 - C. We can use this equation and replace "A" in the second equation.

7(790-C)+4c=4,390

From that, we can solve "C" by solving the equation formed above.

\begin{gathered} \text{Distribute 7 to the terms inside the parenthesis.} \\ 7(790)-7(C)+4C=4,390 \\ 5,530-7C+4C=4,390 \\ \text{Subtract 5,530 on both sides of the equation.} \\ -7C+4C=-1140 \\ -3C=-1140 \\ \text{Divide -3 on both sides.} \\ C=380 \end{gathered}

Therefore, 380 tickets for children were sold.

Since there are 790 tickets in total that are sold and 380 tickets for children were sold, we can say that 410 tickets for adult was sold.

\begin{gathered} A=790-C \\ A=790-380 \\ A=410 \end{gathered}

A person runs 1/8 mile in 1/64 hour.<br> The person's speed is (BLANK) miles per hour.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The person's speed is 8 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we want to convert the \frac{1}{8} and \frac{1}{64} proportionally for the number of miles per hour. We know that multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal will equal 1. So let's do that for the value of the hour.

\frac{1}{64}×\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{64} =1

Since we multiplied that to the number of hours we must also do that for the number of miles.

\frac{1}{8}×\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{8} =8

3. Assume that the likelihood of a child under the age of ten watching PBS is 0.76. Three children are
natta225 [31]

Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

a) 0.4159 = 41.59%.

b) 0.5610 = 56.10%.

c) 0.8549 = 85.49%.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

For this problem, the values of the parameters are:

n = 3, p = 0.76.

Item a:

The probability is P(X = 2), hence:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.76)^{2}.(0.24)^{1} = 0.4159

Item b:

The probability is P(X < 3), hence:

P(X < 3) = 1 - P(X = 3)

In which:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.76)^{3}.(0.24)^{0} = 0.4390

Then:

P(X < 3) = 1 - P(X = 3) = 1 - 0.4390 = 0.5610 = 56.10%.

Item c:

The probability is:

P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.4159 + 0.4390 = 0.8549

What is length of BC ?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

BC = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an isosceles triangle

AC = BC

3x-5 = 2x

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-5-3x = 2x-3x

-5 = -x

Multiply each side by -1

5 =x

BC = 2x

     =2 *5

BC =10
