Answer:

a = 4 b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

8a + 12b = 92......eqn 1

6a - 4b = 4......eqn 2

multiply eqn 2 by 3

18a - 12b = 12.....eqn 2

add eqn 1 and 2 to eliminate b

26a = 104

a = 4

put a = 4 into eqn 2

18(4) - 12b = 12

72 - 12b = 12

72 - 12 = 12b

60 = 12b

5 = b

g Two teams compete in the NBA (National Basketball Associa- tion) championshipseries. The team who wins four games out of seven

Firlakuza [10]

Answer: The required probability is 0.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of winning team A over B = 0.7

Probability of losing team A over B = 0.3

Number of matches = 7"

So, using the "Binomial distribution" :

We get that

$P(X=5)=^7C_5(0.7)^5(0.3)^2=0.32$

Hence, the required probability is 0.32.
