Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the steaks = X and the salmon = y.
Set up two equations:
15x + 18y = 559.81
19x + 9y = 583.66
Now using the elimination method:
Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.
(15x+18y=559.81)
−2(19x+9y=583.66)
Becomes:
15x+18y=559.81
−38x−18y=−1167.32
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−23x=−607.51
Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:
x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478
Now you have the cost for a steak.
To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.
15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91
396.202174 + 18y = 559.81
Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:
18y = 163.607826
Divide both sides by 18:
y = 163.607826 / 18
y = 9.089324
Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:
X (Steaks) =$26.41
Y (Salmon) = $9.09
When you roll two numbers you have four kinds of outcomes: EE, EO, OE, OO (where E = even, O = odd).
You get an even sum only if you sum two numbers that are both even or both odd, therefore the outcomes wanted are two: EE and OO.
Therefore:
P(sum is even) = 2 / 4 = 0.5
Hence, there is a 50% probability that, when you roll two numbers, their sum will be even.
Answer:
lower than Amanda: 816 students
Step-by-step explanation:
An equivalent way in which to state this problem is: Find the area under the standard normal curve to the left (below) 940.
Most modern calculators have built in distribution functions.
In this case I entered the single command normalcdf(-1000,940, 850, 100)
and obtained 0.816.
In this particular situation, this means that 0.816(1000 students) scored lower than Amanda: 816 students.
