Answer: a) 0.079589 b) 0.079656

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of times a coin is flipped = 100 times

Number of times he get exactly head = 50

Probability of getting head = \dfrac{1}{2}

We will use "Binomial distribution":

Probability would be

^{100}C_{50}(\dfrac{1}{2})^{50}(\dfrac{1}{2})^50\\\\=0.079589

Using "Normal approximation":

n = 100

p = 0.5

So, mean = np=100\times 0.5=50

Standard deviation is given by

\sqrt{np(1-p)}\\\\=\sqrt{50(1.05)}\\\\=\sqrt{50\times 0.5}\\\\=\sqrt{25}\\\\=5

So,

P(X

Hence, a) 0.079589 b) 0.079656

At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.30 and adult admission is $9.70. On Wednesday, 156 tickets were sold for a total sal
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The number of adult tickets are 57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of tickets = 156

Total money = $1077.60

Solution,

Let the number of adult be x and of child be y .

So, Total number of tickets = Number of adults + Number of child

\therefore x+y = 156\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Now, according to question;

Total money = Number\ of\ adults\times admission\ fee + Number\ of\ child\times admission\ fee

\therefore x\times 9.70+y\times 5.30 = 1077.60\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

On multiplying by 10 on both side, we get;

97x+53y=10776\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 3

Now multiplying equation 1 by 53 then subtract it from equation 3, we get;

(x+y)\times53 = 156\times53\\53x+53y=8268\\(97x+53y=10776)-(53x+53y=8268)\\44x=2508\\x=\frac{2508}{44} =57

Since x is the  number of adults,

Number of adults=57

Number of child = y = 156-57=99

Thus the number of adult tickets are 57.

One number is 5 more than the other. Their sum is 33. Find the numbers.
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

19,14

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5+y

x+ y= 33

we will solve using substitution

(5+y) +y= 33

5+y+y=33

5+2y=33

subtract 5 from both sides

2y=28

y=14

We got y now we will find what x is

for this, we will substitute y's value (14) into the first equation

x=5+(14)

x=19

we got x too
