Answer:

Walt has 37 quarters.  Hank has 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the given equation for q:

0.25q + 0.25q - 1.00 = 17.50

Simplify this, obtaining:

0.50q = 18.50

Simplifying this by multiplying both terms of this result by 100:

50 q = 1850

Thus, q = 1850/50 = 37

Walt has 37 quarters.  Hank has 33.

Note that 37 + 33 = 70, and that 70($0.25) = $17.50.  So our results are correct.

25% of all who enters a race do not complete. 30 haveentered.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the  race is 0.1047

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 25% of all who enters a race do not complete.

30 have entered.

what is the probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the  race?

So, We will use binomial

Formula : P(X=r) =^nC_r p^r q^{n-r}

p is the probability of success i.e. 25% = 0.25

q is the probability of failure =  1- p  = 1-0.25 = 0.75

We are supposed to find the probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the  race

n = 30

r = 5

P(X=5) =^{30}C_5 (0.25)^5 (0.75)^{30-5}

P(X=5) =\frac{30!}{5!(30-5)!} \times(0.25)^5 (0.75)^{30-5}

P(X=5) =0.1047

Hence the probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the  race is 0.1047
