351 children and 308 adults swam at the public pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Children = x

Adults = y

Price per children = $1.75

Price per adult = $2.00

According to given statement;

x+y=659    Eqn 1

1.75x+2y=1230.25   Eqn 2

Multiplying\ Eqn\ 1\ by\ 2\\2(x+y=659)\\2x+2y=1318 \ \ \ Eqn\ 3\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 2\ from\ Eqn\ 3\\(2x+2y)-(1.75x+2y)=1318-1230.25\\2x+2y-1.75x-2y=87.75\\0.25x=87.75\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 0.25\\\frac{0.25x}{0.25}=\frac{87.75}{0.25}\\x=351\\Putting\ value\ of\ x\ in\ Eqn\ 1\\351+y=659\\Subtracting\ 351\ from\ both\ sides\\351-351+y=659-351\\y=308

351 children and 308 adults swam at the public pool.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note this parameters from the question.

We let x = number of $5 increases and number of 10 decreases in plates sold.

Our Revenue equation is:

R(x) = (300-10x)(10+5x)

We expand the above equation into a quadratic equation by multiplying each bracket:

R(x) = 3000 + 1500x - 3000x - 1500x^2

R(x) = -1500x^2 - 1500x + 3000 (collect like terms)

Next we simplify, by dividing through by -1500

= 1500x^2/1500 - 1500x/1500 + 3000/1500

= X^2 - x + 2

X^2 - x + 2 = 0

Next, we find the axis of symmetry using the formula x = -b/(2*a) where b = 1, a = 1

X = - (-1)/2*1

X = 1/2

Number of $5 increases = $5x1/2 = $2.5

=$2.5 + $20 = $22.5 ticket price gives max revenue.

You take a quiz with 6 multiple choice questions. After you studied your estimated that you would have about an 80 % chance of g
Arada [10]

Answer:

1.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the probability of m  independent events you multiply the individual probability of each event. In this case we have m independent events, each one with the same probability, therefore:

p^{m}

0.8^{20} = 1.15\%

This is a particlar scenario of binomial distribution problem. So the binomial distribution questions are about the number of success of m independent events, where every individual event has the same p probability. In the question we have 20 events and each event has a probability of 80%. The binomial distribution formula is:

\binom{n}{k} * p^{k} * (1-p)^{n-k}

n is the number of events

k is the number of success

p is the probability of each individual event

\binom{n}{k} is the binomial coefficient

the binomial coefficient allows to find the subsets of k elements in a set of n elements.  In this case there is only one subset possible since the only way to get 20 of 20 correct questions is to getting right all questions (for getting 19 of 20 questions there are many ways, for example getting the first question wrong and all the other questions right, or getting second questions wrong and all the other questions right, etc).

\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

therefore, for this questions we have:

\frac{20!}{20!(20-20)!} * 0.8^{20} * (1-0.8)^{0} = 1.15\%
