This is an algebra problem. We let x be the variable for the number of pounds of apples bought, and y be the number of pounds of bananas bought. From the descriptions, the formulas that we can formulate are:

y = 2x  --> eqn 1
0.79x + 0.39y = 7.58 --> eqn 2

Substituting eqn 1 to eqn 2:
0.79x + 0.39(2x) = 7.58
Solving for x,
x = 4.828 pounds of apples
y = 2x = 2(4.828) = <em>9.656 pounds of bananas bought</em>

notka56 [123]

Answer:

1.3559644*10^-^5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given we extract the following data

Total Number of Trials (N) = 191

Required Value (x) = 181 (notice it is not 180 since at that value we have enough passengers)

Odds of success (p) = 0.85

Using the binomial formula for calculating probability, i.e.

P(x; N, p) = nCx * p^x *(1-p)^{N-x}

Inputting the values

P(181; 191, 0.85) = 191C181 *0.85^{181}  *(1-0.85)^{191-181} \\ P(181; 191, 0.85) = 1.3559644*10^-^5
