Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this by elimination, then substitution.

x= Adult ticket

y= Student ticket

First day: 14x + 8y = 376

Second day: 7x + 11y = 272:

14x+8y=376

7x+11y=272

Divide 14x+8y=376 by -2:

-7x+-4y=-188

7x+11y=272

Eliminate both -7x and 7x:

-4y=-188

11y=272:

Add all numbers:

7y=84

Divide both sides by 7/ divide 84 by 7:

y=12


Now substitute y into one of the equations:

7x+11y=272:

7x+11(12)=272

Simplify:

7x+132=272

Subtract both sides by 132:

7x=140

Divide both sides by 7 (140/7):

x=20


Adult Tickets: $20

Student Tickets: $12

You own a company that employs three salespeople, Quentin, Michael and Bubba. Quentin makes 30% of the sales, Michael 45%, and B
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Michael

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the table below:

The probability of selecting a sale that was made by Quentin is .30, by Michael is .45 and by Bubba is .25.

Since Quentin completes paperwork 90% of the time, he doesn't complete paperwork 10% of the time, following this reasoning we can say that Michael doesn't complete paperwork 20% of the time and Bubba doesn't complete paperwork 15% of the time.

The probability of selecting a file and that it belongs to Quentin AND is incomplete is:

(Probability of selecting a Quentin's file) x (Probability is a Quentin incomplete file) = (0.30)(0.10) = 0.03

Using this same method we have that the probability that it belongs to Michael and is incomplete is (.45)(.20) = 0.09

That it belongs to Bubba and it's incomplete is (0.25)(0.15) = 0.037

The highest of these probabilities is the one that corresponds to Michael: 0.09, therefore he is the most likely culprit.
