Set x as adult tickets.
Set y as children's tickets.
x + y = 15
30x + 20y = 270
Solve for x in the first equation.
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
Plug this into the second equation.
30x + 20y = 270
30(15 - y) + 20y = 270
450 - 30y + 20y = 270
450 - 10y = 270
-10y = -180
y = 18
If there is 18 childrens tickets, there should be -3 adult tickets.
This is impossible, and this impossible answer occured because the question is written wrong.
There are a total of 15 tickets
The smallest costing ticket is the childrens ticket, which costs 20$.
If he only bought children tickets, this would be 20x15 which is 300$.
300$ is over 270$, which makes the question impossible.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

0.1349

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample size, n = 500

20% of 500 ; 0.2 * 500 = 100

p = 0.18 ; n = 500 ; 1 - p = 0.82

P(x ≥ 100) ;

Using the binomial probability relation :

P(x =x) = nCx * p(x)^x * (1 - p)^(n - x

P(x ≥ 100) = 500C100 * 0.18^100 * 0.82^400

P(x ≥ 100) = 0.1349
