For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
 x: price of fishing reels
 y: price of fishing rods
 We write the system of equations:
 2x + 5y = 243
 8x + 6y = 538
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 44 $
 y = $ 31
 Answer:
 
the price of each item is:
 
x = 44 $
 
y = $ 31

To answer this, you can set up a system of equations.  Solve for one of the variables and substitute this new equation into the 2nd equation.

2x + 5y = 243 - I'll solve this one for x.
8x + 6y = 538

2x + 5y = 243
2x = 243 - 5y
2          2
x = 121.5 - 2.5y ;  substitute this in for x in the second equation

8x + 6y = 538
8 (121.5 - 2.5y) + 6y = 538
972 - 20y + 6y = 538
972 - 14y = 538
-972            -972
-14y = -434
-14       -14
y = 31

<u><em>The cost of a rod (y) is $31.  </em></u>

x = 121.5 - 2.5y
x = 121.5 - 2.5 x 31
x = 44

<em><u>The cost of a reel(x) is $44.</u></em>

Angelina wins money in a competition. She is given the choice as to how she is paid.
NISA [10]

Answer:

  • Choice 1
  • 20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

You are being asked to compare the value of a growing infinite geometric series to a fixed constant. Such a series will always eventually have a sum that exceeds any given fixed constant.

__

<h3>a)</h3>

Angelina will get more money from the Choice 1 method of payment. The sequence of payments is a (growing) geometric sequence, so the payments and their sum will eventually exceed the alternative.

__

<h3>c)</h3>

For a first term of 1 and a common ratio of 2, the sum of n terms of the geometric series is given by ...

  Sn = a1×(r^n -1)/(r -1) . . . . . . . . . . series with first term a1, common ratio r

We want to find n such that ...

  Sn ≥ 1,000,000

  1 × (2^n -1)/(2 -1) ≥ 1,000,000

  2^n ≥ 1,000,001 . . . . add 1

  n ≥ log(1,000,001)/log(2) . . . . . take the base-2 logarithm

  n ≥ 19.93

The total Angelina receives from Choice 1 will exceed $1,000,000 after 20 days.

In a recent​ poll, 44​% of survey respondents said​ that, if they only had one​ child, they would prefer the child to be a boy.
viva [34]

Answer:

a) The probability that 71 of 150 will prefer boy child is 71/150 or 0.47

b) The result contradicts the poll actual percentage is 47.33% which is 3.33% more than the poll predicted

Step-by-step explanation:

If 71 out of 150 prefer boy child

The probability that the 71 will prefer boy child is

= 71/150

The actual percentage is

(71/150)*100%

= 47.33%

This contradicts the poll as this is more than the poll predicted. That means Less than 71 of 150 actually preferred boy child.
