Emily and her children went into a grocery store and she bought $20.80 worth of bananas and peaches. Each banana costs $0.80 and

each peach costs $2. She bought a total of 14 bananas and peaches altogether. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of bananas and the number of peaches that Emily bought. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

b + p = 14 and 0.80 b + 2 p = 20.80 are the system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let b be the number of bananas

Let p be the number of peaches  

Given that the total of bananas and peaches that Emily bought  = 14

Hence we have,

b + p = 14

Step 2 :

Cost of one banana =  $0.80

Cost of one peach = $2

Cost of all the bananas and peaches Emily bought = $20.80

So sum of b bananas costing $0.80 and sum of p peaches costing $2 each is $20.80

Hence we have

0.80 b +2 p = 20.80

Solving for the above 2 equations we can get the value for b and p which will give the number of bananas and peaches bought

Step 3 :

Answer :

The system of equations that could be used to find the number of the bananas and the number of the peaches that Emily bought is given by

b + p = 14

0.80 b +2 p = 20.80

pshichka [43]

Answer:

See the proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: "For each given p, let Z have a binomial distribution with parameters p and N. Suppose that N is itself binomially distributed with parameters q and M. Formulate Z as a random sum and show that Z has a binomial distribution with parameters pq and M."

Solution to the problem

For this case we can assume that we have N independent variables X_i with the following distribution:

X_i Bin (1,p) = Be(p) bernoulli on this case with probability of success p, and all the N variables are independent distributed. We can define the random variable Z like this:

Z = \sum_{i=1}^N X_i

From the info given we know that N \sim Bin (M,q)

We need to proof that Z \sim Bin (M, pq) by the definition of binomial random variable then we need to show that:

E(Z) = Mpq

Var (Z) = Mpq(1-pq)

The deduction is based on the definition of independent random variables, we can do this:

E(Z) = E(N) E(X) = Mq (p)= Mpq

And for the variance of Z we can do this:

Var(Z)_ = E(N) Var(X) + Var (N) [E(X)]^2

Var(Z) =Mpq [p(1-p)] + Mq(1-q) p^2

And if we take common factor Mpq we got:

Var(Z) =Mpq [(1-p) + (1-q)p]= Mpq[1-p +p-pq]= Mpq[1-pq]

And as we can see then we can conclude that   Z \sim Bin (M, pq)
