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

Suppose that 50% of all babies born in a particular hospital are boys. If 6 babies born in the hospital are randomly selected, w
WINSTONCH [101]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.3438 = 34.38% probability that fewer than 3 of them are boys.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

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

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem, the values of the parameters are given as follows:

n = 6, p = 0.5.

The probability that fewer than 3 of them are boys is given by:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

In which:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{6} = 0.0156

P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.0938

P(X = 2) = C_{6,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.2344

Then:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0156 + 0.0938 + 0.2344 = 0.3438

0.3438 = 34.38% probability that fewer than 3 of them are boys.
