Answer:

a. 9.5x + 6.5(x+c) < 8   when c>0

b. Must be one child more than the no. of adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

For Cinema 1:

for adult = $9.50

for child = $6.50

For Cinema 2:

Per person regardless of age = $8.00

First of all, we will find out the condition when per person rates in both cinema are equal.

Assume x = no. of adults

y = no. of children

Rate per person in Cinema I = Rate per person in Cinema II

(9.5x + 6.5y)/(x+y)   =   8

9.5x + 6.5y = 8(x+y)

9.5x + 6.5y = 8x + 8y

9.5x-8x = 8y-6.5y

=> x = y

So rates are equal when no. of adults equals no. of children

For Cinema I to have better rates, no. of children should be atleast 1 more than the no. of adult. In this way the rate per person of Cinema I will be less than 8

Hence we form an inequality when y = x+c and c > 0

9.5x + 6.5(x+c) < 8   when c>0

Hence there must be 1 more children than the no. of adults attending Cinema I for it to be a better deal.

Answer:

9.50a+6.50c < 8.00(a+c), 6 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adults be a

the number of children be c

Part 1 :

Cinema 1:

Cost for adults = $9.50 x a = 9.50a

Cost of children = $6.50 x c = 6.50c

Total cost = 9.50a+6.50c

Cinema 2 :

Total cost = 8.00(a+c)

The inequality which shows that the cinema I is cheaper

9.50a+6.50c < 8.00(a+c)

9.50a+6.5c<8a+8c

9.5a-8a<8c-6.5c

1.5a<1.5c

a<c

Case 2:

6 adults goes to cinema , let they are accompanied by c number of children

Cinema 1

Total cost = 9.5 x 6 + 6.5 x c

for cinema 2 the total cost will be

8 ( 6+c)

for cinema 1 to be a better deal

9.5 x 6 + 6.5 x c  < 8(6+c)

57+6.5c<48+8c

57-48<8c-6.5c

9<1.5c

c>6

Hence for Cinema 1 to be a better deal , there must be 6 children accompanying them

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

2.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

mean = 5 years = 60 months

standard deviation = 6 months

X = number of years the tires will last

P = probability of ...

z = z-score

6 years = 72 months

z = (# of months - mean) / standard deviation

z = (72 - 60)/6

z = 12/6

z = 2

P(X > 72) = 1 - P(X < 72)

= 1 - P(z < 2)    

(using a Standard Normal Probabilities Table we can see that P(z < 2) = .9772)

So:

= 1 - .9772

= 0.0228 OR 2.28%
