Answer:

Dryer cost $475;  Washer cost $382

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply set up a system of equations to find the value of each the washer (variable x) and the dryer (variable y).

We are given the washer and dryer cost $857 together.

x + y = 857

We are also given that the washer cost $93 less than the dryer.

x = y - 93

So to find the cost of the dryer, we simply need to find the value of y.

x + y = 857

x = y - 93

( y - 93 ) + y = 857

2y - 93 = 857

2y = 950

y = 475

So now we have the value of the dry to be $475.  We can check this by simply plugging in the value and see if it makes sense.

x + y = 857

x + 475 = 857

x = 382

And check this value:

x = y - 93

382 ?= 475 - 93

382 == 382

Therefore, we have found the values of both the washer and the dryer.

Cheers.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Concert Specialties is the better buy

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine which of the two deals is the better buy, we first need to find out how many of each pack we would need to get the needed 12 tickets. Once we have this value we multiply it by the dollar amount of each pack and compare the totals like so...

Concert Specialties => pack of 3 * 4 = 12 tickets => 4 * 75 = $300

We 'R' Entertainment => pack of 4 * 3 = 12 tickets => 3 * 108 = $324

Therefore, we can now see that the Concert Specialties is the better buy since you are getting the 12 tickets for $24 less than We 'R' Entertainment

Consider randomly selecting a student at a certain university, and let A denote the event that the selected individual has a Vis
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Visa card is represented by P(A)

MasterCard is represented by P(B)

P(A)= 0.6

P(A')=0.4

P(B)=0.5

P(B')=0.5

P(A∩B)=0.35

1. P(A U B) =?

P(A U B)= P(A)+P(B)-P(A ∩ B)

P(A U B)=0.6+0.5-0.35

P(A U B)= 0.75

The probability of student that has least one of the cards is 0.75

2. Probability of the neither of the student have the card is given as

P(A U B)'=1-P(A U B)

P(A U B)= 1-0.75

P(A U B)= 0.25

3. Probability of Visa card only,

P(A)= 0.6

P(A) only means students who has visa card but not MasterCard.

P(A) only= P(A) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A) only=0.6-0.35

P(A) only=0.25.

4. Compute the following

a. A ∩ B'

b. A ∪ B'

c. A' ∪ B'

d. A' ∩ B'

e. A' ∩ B

a. A ∩ B'

P(A∩ B') implies that the probability of A without B i.e probability of A only and it has been obtain in question 3.

P(A ∩ B')= P(A-B)=P(A)-P(A∩ B)

P(A∩ B')= 0.6-0.35

P(A∩ B')= 0.25

b. P(A ∪ B')

P(A ∪ B')= P(A)+P(B')-P(A ∩ B')

P(A ∪ B')= 0.6+0.5-0.25

P(A ∪ B')= 0.85

c. P(A' ∪ B')= P(A')+P(B')-P(A' ∩ B')

But using Demorgan theorem

P(A∩B)'=P(A' ∪ B')

P(A∩B)'=1-P(A∩B)

P(A∩B)'=1-0.35

P(A∩B)'=0.65

Then, P(A∩B)'=P(A' ∪ B')= 0.65

d. P( A' ∩ B' )

Using demorgan theorem

P(A U B)'= P(A' ∩ B')

P(A U B)'= 1-P(A U B)

P(A' ∩ B')= 1-0.75

P(A' ∩ B')= 0.25

P(A U B)'= P(A' ∩ B')=0.25

e. P(A' ∩ B)= P(B ∩ A') commutative law

Then, P(B ∩ A') = P(B) only

P(B ∩ A') = P(B) -P(A ∩ B)

P(B ∩ A') =0.5 -0.35

P(B ∩ A') =0.15

P(A' ∩ B)= P(B ∩ A') =0.15
