Answer:

There are 15 problems worth 2 points and there are 10 problems worth 3 points

Step-by-step explanation:

To realize this problem we will perform two equations

one will represent the number of problems and another the number of points

x would be the number of problems worth 2 points and y the amount worth 3 points

x + y = 25

(x * 2) + (y * 3) = 60

we clear the x of the first equation

x + y = 25

x = 25 - y

and replace the x with (25 - y) in the second equation

(x * 2) + (y * 3) = 60

( (25 - y) * 2) + (y * 3) = 60

50 - 2y + 3y = 60

-2y + 3y = 60 - 50

y = 10

Now we return to the first equation and replace y with 10

x = 25 - y

x = 25 - 10

x = 15

If two students from this college are selected at random, what is the probability that they are both males?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

P(A_1 and A_2) = P(A_1) *P(A_2)= 0.3*0.3 =0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this problem :"Only 30% of the students in a certain liberal arts college are males. If two students from this college are selected at random, what is the probability that they are both males?"

Previous concepts

An independent event is an "event that has no connection to another event's chances of happening ". For this case we can assume that if one person is male and if we select another one the probability that this one would be male or female is totally indepedent from the first selection.

When we have two independent events let's say A and B and we want to find the probability that both events occurs at the same time we can use the following formula:

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

Solution to the problem

We can define some notation:

A_1 first person selected is a male

A_2 second person selected is male

On this case we want the probability that both would be males. And we can express this like this on math terms:

P(A_1 and A_2)

For this case we can assume that the two events are independent. And in order to find the probability for two events independents events we just need to multiply the probabilities of each one like this:

P(A_1 and A_2) = P(A_1) *P(A_2)= 0.3*0.3 =0.09

A farm has 75 acres of wheat the farm I can harvest the wheat fans 12 acres per day and how many days with all the fields be har
Marizza181 [45]
Hi there! An equation for this problem would look something like

12d=75

Since the farmer can harvest 12 acres per day, the variable d represents days. 12 times the number of days it would take to harvest the field would equal 75.
