If we assume that
x isthe number of multiple choice questions, and y is the number of word problems, we can write a system of equations like:
{ x + y = 38
{ 2x + 5y = 100
If we multiply the first equation by -2 we get:
{ -2x-2y = -76
{ 2x + 5y = 100
Now if we add both equations we get only equation with 1 unknown (y) :
3y = 24 ⇒ y = 8
Substituting the calculated value to the first equation we get:
x + 8 = 38 ⇒ x = 30
The solution:
{ x = 30
{ y = 8
means that:
The test had 30 multiple choice questions, and 8 word problems.
Answer: P = 0.125 = 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that he has a blue coat and a black coat.
If he dresses at random, then the probability of getting the blue coat is equal to the quotient between the number of blue coats (1) and the total number of coats (2).
Then the probability is:
p = 1/2
We also know that he has blue pants and brown pants, the probability of getting at random the blue pants is calculated in the same way than above, then:
q = 1/2
And for the shirt he has a blue shirt and a red one, the probability of randomly selecting the blue one is calculated in the same way than above, then:
k = 1/2
Now, the joint probability (he selects all blue clothes) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities:
P = p*q*k = (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = 1/8 = 0.125
Answer:
no bc they r swapped and 40 is higher
