Solution:

In a chess match

Win = 1 point

Draw = 0.5 point

Loss = 0 point

Let Winner = W

Loser = L

As given in Question

Total number of matches played between loser and winner = 21

The winner is 8 points ahead of the loser.

So, Writing the above statement in terms of equation consisting of two variable

1.  W = L + 8

2. W + L = 21

Substituting the value of W in (2)

L + 8 +L = 21

2 L = 21 - 8

2 L = 13

L = 6.5

Putting the value of L in equation (1)

W = 8 + 6.5= 14.5

So, winner has 14.5 points, and Loser has 6.5 points.

A pharmacy claims that the average medication costs $32 but it could differ as much as $8. Write and solve an absolute value ine
gogolik [260]
 <span>It looks like you're supposed to pick a combination of two answers: 
an absolute-value inequality, and 
a sentence describing the meaning of that inequality. 

We've got two choices for each, and therefore four possible combinations of choices. 

First, let's tackle the sentence description. We're told that 
"it [the cost] could differ [from the average of $32] as much as $8." 
That sets a maximum value for the difference; it's UP TO $8. 
If the cost is less than average, it could be as little as 
$32 - $8 = $24 
and if the cost is more than average, it could be as much as 
$32 + $8 = $40. 
So the medication costs range from $24 to $40, and we want an answer that states that. 

Now for the inequalities: 
|x - 32| describes the SIZE of the difference. Using the absolute-value function means we don't distinguish between 
x - 32 
and 
32 - x 
as far as our interests are concerned; we eliminate the sign from the subtraction and just look at the size of the difference. 

But in the case we're looking at, we've got a MAXIMUM value for the difference; it can't be more than 8. The inequality 
|x - 32| ≥ 8 
says the difference is 8 or MORE, so we don't want that. Instead, we want 
|x - 32| ≤ 8 
which says the difference is anywhere from 0 to 8. 

Combining these conclusions, we see we're looking for this answer: 
|x - 32| ≤ 8; The medication costs range from $24 to $40 
which is the third one listed.</span>

N76 [4]

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of pulling a nickel the first time: 5/10

Probability of pulling a nickel the second time: 5/10 (remember that you are replacing)

Probability of pulling a dime the third time: 5/10

Total probability: 5/10 * 5/10 * 5/10 OR 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

im pretty sure this is the answer! i hope this helps! <3
