The price of each ticket is $42.50. So if Selene buys x tickets, the cost of x tickets will be 42.50x.

She has to pay $5 handling fee as well for purchasing the tickets online. So her total cost of the tickets will be:

Total Cost = 42.50x + 5

Selene got $250. This means she can spend a maximum of $250 on the tickets. Maximum of $250 means less than or equal to $250.

So, we can write the spending on the tickets in the form of following in equality:

42.50x + 5 ≤ 250

42.50x ≤ 245

x ≤ 5.76

This shows, Selene can buy 5.76 tickets. Since the number of tickets has to be a whole number we look for the nearest possible number. She cannot buy 6 tickets, as the cost will exceed $250. So the maximum tickets she can buy are 5.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A

Help me please!!!!! I need help with angles
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

<CFE = 28

<RPQ = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

<CFE + 152 = 180

<CFE = 180 - 152

<CFE = 28

2)

Complementary means the angles add up to 90 so:

<RPQ + 37 = 90

<RPQ = 90 - 37

<RPQ = 53

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%)
