559 tickets were sold 59 more student tickets were sold than adult tickets how many adult tickets were sold

Mathematics
1 answer:
marusya05 [52]3 years ago
7 0
Let s = number of student tickets and a = number of adult tichets;
We have the equation: s + a = 559 and s = 59 + a;
Then, we solve the equation: 59 + a + a = 559;
59 + 2a = 559;
2a = 500;
a = 500/2;
a = 250;
s = 59 + 250;
s = 309;

Which sample fairly represents the population? Check all that apply. measuring the heights of every fiftieth person on the schoo
solniwko [45]
Option 1:

<span>Measuring the heights of every fiftieth person on the school roster to determine the average heights of the boys in the school
</span>
Comment: this might not be a good idea for fairness as we only wish to determine average height of the boys. Taking a group of 50 people randomly, might not give us the same number of boys every time.

Option 2: 

<span>Calling every third person on the soccer team’s roster to determine how many of the team members have completed their fundraising assignment 

Comment: The context doesn't seem to need a sampling. The number of players in a soccer team is considerably small. We can find exact data by asking in person.

Option 3:
</span><span>
Observing every person walking down Main Street at 5 p.m. one evening to determine the percentage of people who wear glasses
</span>
Comment: To get a more accurate result and fairer sampling, the period of observing could have been longer, for example, observing for 12 hours on that day, or an alternative is to observe at 5 pm for 7 days in a row. It could happen that no one walking down the Main street precisely at 5 pm wears glasses, or it could happen the other way around.

Option 4: 

<span>Sending a confidential e-mail survey to every one-hundredth parent in the school district to determine the overall satisfaction of the residents of the town taking a poll in the lunch room (where all students currently have to eat lunch) to determine the number of students who want to be able to leave campus during lunch.

Comment: This sampling does fairly represent the population, although it might be an idea to scale down the sample population, i.e. every fiftieth parent. 

Answer: Option 4</span>

Dan rolls a fair dice and flips a fair coin what is the probability of obtaining an even number and a head
Fed [463]

Half the numbers on the die are even so you have a 1/2 probability of getting an even number. There is also. 1/2 probability of getting heads on a coin flip.

To find the probability of both happening, multiply the probability of each together:

1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

The probability of getting an even number and heads is 1/4
