Set up your two equations: 
<span>9x+7y=53 </span>
<span>3x+5y=25 </span>
<span>X=cost per pound of jelly bean </span>
<span>Y=cost per pound of trail mix </span>
<span>Multiply the second equation by (-3): </span>
<span>-9x-15y=-75 </span>
<span>+ 9x+7y=53 <---- copy first equation and add them </span>
<span>—————— </span>
<span>0x-8y=-22 </span>
<span>Then solve for y: </span>
<span>Y=2.76 this is your cost per pound of trail mix. </span>
<span>Then plug y back in to one of the original equations and solve for x: </span>
<span>3x+7(2.75)=25 </span>
<span>X=3.75 this is you cost per pound of jelly beans</span>

What is the common difference of the following sequence? 4.3,5,7,9,11___<br>5.16,19,22,25__​
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4). Given sequence → 3, 5, 7, 9, 11........

    Common difference of an arithmetic sequence is defined by,

    Common difference = Successive term - previous term

                                       = 2nd term - 1st term

                                       = 5 - 3

                                       = 2

5). Given sequence → 16, 19, 22, 25........

    Common difference of an arithmetic sequence = Second term - first term

                                                                                    = 19 - 16

                                                                                     = 3

A multiple-choice standard test contains total of 25 questions, each with four answers. Assume that a student just guesses on ea
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a)  8*88*10⁻⁶ ( 0.00088 %)

b) 0.2137 (21.37%)

Step-by-step explanation:

if the test contains 25 questions and each questions is independent of the others, then the random variable X= answer "x" questions correctly , has a binomial probability distribution. Then

P(X=x)= n!/((n-x)!*x!)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where

n= total number of questions= 25

p= probability of getting a question right = 1/4

then

a) P(x=n) = p^n = (1/4)²⁵ = 8*88*10⁻⁶ ( 0.00088 %)

b) P(x<5)= F(5)

where F(x) is the cumulative binomial probability distribution- Then from tables

P(x<5)= F(5)= 0.2137 (21.37%)
