From what I am looking at, it seems as if it is. :)
Answer:
Number of quarters → 15
Number of dimes → 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dimes I have = y
And number of quarters = x
Since, I have amount in my pocket = $2
Therefore, 0.10y + 0.25x = 2
100(0.10y + 0.25x) = 100×2
25x + 10y = 200
5x + 2y = 40
2y = -5x + 40
y = -2.5x + 20 ---------(1)
Total number of coins in my pocket = 17
x + y = 17
y = -x + 17 ---------(2)
By using a graphing calculator we can graph these two lines (As attached)
Solution of the given system of equations will be the point of intersection of these lines.
Solution → (2, 15)
Number of quarters → 15
Number of dimes → 2
(a) P( fifth one is bad) = P( first 4 are OK) * P(5th is bad)
= (0.98)^4 * 0.02 = 0.0184 or 1.84%
(b) this will be (0.98)^10 = 81.70%
Answer:
the answer would be three because when an exponent is on the inside of the parenthesis and one is outside too, then they are multiplied. If it wasn't, then it would be added.
Step-by-step explanation:
(2.7, 2.3)
(2, 1.7)
(1.7, 1.3)
