She sold 74 child tickets and 126 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Stacy is selling tickets for the school play

  • She has a total of 200 seats available, and there will be two types of tickets offered, child and adult tickets
  • She sold each child ticket for $6 , each adult ticket for $10 , and made a total of $1704

We need to find how many of each ticket  she sold

Assume that x is the number of child tickets and y is the number of the adult tickets

∵ She has a total of 200 seats available

∵ She sold x child tickets

∵ She sold y adult tickets

- Add x and y, then equate the sum by 200

∴ x + y = 200 ⇒ (1)

∵ She sold each child ticket for $6

∵ She sold each adult ticket for $10

∵ She made a total of $1704

- Multiply x by 6 and y by 10, then add the products and

   equate them by 1704

∴ 6x + 10y = 1704 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equation to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -10 to eliminate y

∵ -10x - 10y = -2000 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3) to find x

∴ -4x = -296

- Divide both sides by -4

∴ x = 74

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ 74 + y = 200

- Subtract 74 from both sides

∴ y = 126

She sold 74 child tickets and 126 adult tickets

The probability that an electronic device produced by a company does not function properly is equal to 0.1. If 10 devices are bo
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Correct option: A. P=0.057

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Binomial Distribution</u>

The binomial distribution fits the case of n independent events each one with a probability of success equal to p where k successes have been achieved.

The PMF (Probability Mass Function) of the binomial distribution is

\displaystyle P(k,n,p)=\binom{n}{k}p^kq^{n-k}

Where q = 1-p

The individual probability that an electronic device does not function properly is p=0.1. We know n=10 devices have been bought and we want to compute the probability that 7 devices function properly. Please notice that this is not the value of k since p is the probability of failure. The correct value of k=10-7=3. The required probability is

\displaystyle P(3,10,0.1)=\binom{10}{3}0.1^30.9^{10-3}

\boxed{P=0.057}

Mr. Smith built a rectangular-shaped sandbox for his children, measuring 4 feet by 4 feet by 6 inches. Sand has a density of app
ehidna [41]

Answer:

To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate volume of the rectangular-shaped sandbox:

V=long*with*height\\V=4feet*4feet*0.5feet\\V=8cubicfoot

We know that density of sand is 100 pounds per cubic foot. Then, to fill the sand box that has a volume of 8 cubic foot, we calculate by rule 3:

1cubic foot..............100 pounds

8 cubic foot.............x pounds

x=\frac{8*100}{1}

x=800 pounds

We will need 800 pounds of sand to fill the sandbox, then we can calculate by rule 3 the number of bags needed and next the total cost of them:

50 pounds.......1bag

800 pounds.....x bags

x=\frac{800*1}{50} \\x=16

To calculate the cost:

1 bag ..................$3.50

16 bags.................$x

x=16*3.50\\x=$56

To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56
