Sue has 100 dimes and quarters. If the total value of the coins is $21.40, how many of each kind of coin does she have?

1 answer:

8 0

Let's set up the equations we know.
Q+D=100, where Q=number of quarters, and D=number of dimes
.25Q + .1D = 21.40 (because a quarter is worth .25 and a dime worth .10)

Using the first equation, let's isolate one of our variables. I'll pick Q.
Q+D=100
Subtract D from each side
Q=100 - D

Now that we have this new equation, let's plug it into our second equation.
.25Q + .1D = 21.40
.25(100-D) + .1D = 21.40
Distribute the .25
25 - .25D + .1 D = 21.40
Combine like terms
25 - .15D = 21.40
Subtract 21.40 from each side
3.6 - .15D = 0
Add .15 D to each side
3.6 = .15D
Divide each side by .15
D = 24

Now that we have D, we can solve for Q
Q= 100 - D
= 100 - 24
Q = 76

Sue has 24 dimes and 76 quarters.

Let's check our work to make sure.
.25(76) + .1(24) =
19 + 2.4 = 21.4 √

A shipment of 50 precision parts including 4 that are defective is sent to an assembly plant. The quality control division selec

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

0.3968 = 39.68% probability this shipment passes inspection.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parts are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

50 parts means that $N = 50$

4 defective means that $k = 4$

10 are chosen, which means that $n = 10$

What is the probability this shipment passes inspection?

Probability that none is defective, so:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,50,10,4) = \frac{C_{4,0}*C_{46,10}}{C_{50,10}} = 0.3968$

0.3968 = 39.68% probability this shipment passes inspection.

PLLLEEEAASSEE HELP ME<br><br> explain how you got the answer

valkas [14]

For # 1, the answer will be 1 because of the exponential rule $a^{0} = 1$ .

#2, the answer is going to be $x^{4}$ because of the exponential rule $a^{-b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b} }$ .

#3. I'm not sure that this could be simplified any further.

#4 To get the answer to this question, we must apply the distributive property, along with the exponential rule $a ^{m} × a ^{n} = a ^{m+n}$ . When we apply these properties, we'll get $- \frac{3}{x^4}$

For the other questions, they all apply the Laws of Exponents.
