102 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Adult tickets = x

Children tickets = y

According to given statement;

x+y=146 Eqn 1

8x+5y=1036 Eqn 2

Multiplying\ Eqn\ 1\ by\ 5\\5(x+y=146)\\5x+5y=730\ Eqn\ 3\\Subtracting\ Eqn\ 3\ from\ Eqn\ 2\\(8x+5y)-(5x-5y)=1036-730\\8x+5y-5x-5y=306\\3x=306\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{306}{3}\\x=102\\

102 adult tickets were sold.

The points (1,1) and (5,5) fall on a particular line. What is its equation in slope- intercept form
qwelly [4]

Answer:

y=x

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(5-1)/(5-1)=4/4=1

slope is 1

y-y1=m(x-x1) where m=slope

y-1=1(x-1)

y-1=x-1

y=x-1+1

y=x

How do you do this?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

∠RQS=72 ∠SQT=83

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-20+3x+14=155

7x-6=155

7x=161

x=23

∠RQS=23*4-20=92-20=72

∠SQT=155-72=83

Suiting at 6 a.m., cars, buses, and motorcycles arrive at a highway loll booth according to independent Poisson processes. Cars
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

the rate of the cars = \dfrac{1}{5} \ car / min = 0.2 \ car /min

the rate of the buses = \dfrac{1}{10} \ bus / min = 0.1 \ bus /min

the rate of motorcycle = \dfrac{1}{30} \ motorcycle / min = 0.0333 \ motorcycle /min

The probability of any event at a given time t can be expressed as:

P(event  \ (x) \  in  \ time \  (t)\ min) = \dfrac{e^{-rate \times t}\times (rate \times t)^x}{x!}

∴

(a)

P(2 \ car \  in  \ 20 \  min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.20\times 20}\times (0.2 \times 20)^2}{2!}

P(2 \ car \  in  \ 20 \  min) =0.1465

P ( 1 \ motorcycle \ in \ 20 \ min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.0333\times 20}\times (0.0333 \times 20)^1}{1!}

P ( 1 \ motorcycle \ in \ 20 \ min) = 0.3422

P ( 0 \ buses  \ in \ 20 \ min) = \dfrac{e^{-0.1\times 20}\times (0.1 \times 20)^0}{0!}

P ( 0 \ buses  \ in \ 20 \ min) =  0.1353

Thus;

P(exactly 2 cars, 1 motorcycle in 20 minutes) = 0.1465 × 0.3422 × 0.1353

P(exactly 2 cars, 1 motorcycle in 20 minutes) = 0.0068

(b)

the rate of the total vehicles = 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.0333 = 0.3333

the rate of vehicles with exact change = rate of total vehicles × P(exact change)

= 0.3333 \times \dfrac{1}{4}

= 0.0833

∴

P(zero \ exact \ change \ in \ 10 minutes) = \dfrac{e^{-0.0833\times 10}\times (0.0833 \times 10)^0}{0!}

P(zero  exact  change  in  10 minutes) = 0.4347

c)

The probability of the 7th motorcycle after the arrival of the third motorcycle is:

P( 4  \ motorcyles \  in  \ 45  \ minutes) =\dfrac{e^{-0.0333\times 45}\times (0.0333 \times 45)^4}{4!}

P( 4  \ motorcyles \  in  \ 45  \ minutes) =0.0469

Thus; the probability of the 7th motorcycle after the arrival of the third one is = 0.0469

d)

P(at least one other vehicle arrives between 3rd and 4th car arrival)

= 1 - P(no other vehicle arrives between 3rd and 4th car arrival)

The 3rd car arrives at 15 minutes

The 4th car arrives at 20 minutes

The interval between the two = 5 minutes

<u>For Bus:</u>

P(no other vehicle  other vehicle arrives within 5 minutes is)

= \dfrac{6}{12} = 0.5

<u>For motorcycle:</u>

= \dfrac{2 }{12}  = \dfrac{1 }{6}

∴

The required probability = 1 - \Bigg ( \dfrac{e^{-0.5 \times 0.5^0}}{0!} \times \dfrac{e^{-1/6}\times (1/6)^0}{0!}  \Bigg)

= 1- 0.5134

= 0.4866
