Answer: a) each text message costs 5 cents more than each anytime minute


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of anytime minutes and y be the cost of text messages.

Then for the first month, equation for the total amount Noah paid

200x+400y=80\\\Rightarrow5x+10y=2..\text{[divide 20 on both sides]}\\\Rightarrow15x+30y=6....\text{[multiply 3 on both sides]}...(1)

For the second month, equation for the total amount Noah paid

150x+350y=67.5\\\Rightarrow15x+35y=6.75....\text{[divide 10 on both sides]}....(2)

Now subtract equation (1) from equation (2), we get

5y=0.75\\\Rightarrow\ y=0.15

Put y=0.15 in (1), we get

5x+10(0.15)=2\\\Rightarrow5x+1.5=2\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{2-1.5}{5}=0.10\\\Rightarrow\ x=0.10

Thus, the cost of anytime minutes(x)= $0.10= 10 cents

and the cost of test messages(y)=$0.15=15 cents

Difference=15-10=5 cents

Hence,  each text message costs 5 cents more than each anytime minute.

The statement A is true since on forming the quadratic equations formed you will find the cost of a message being 15 cents and that of anytime as 10 cents.

three zebras are chilling in the desert. suddenly a lion attacks. each zebra is sitting on a corner of an equally length triangl
AnnyKZ [126]

Probability that no zebras collide is 0.25

The zebras are represented as z1, z2 and z3.

Z1 to B, Z2 to C, and Z3 to A come first = (\frac{1}{2})^3

Following that, z1 to C, z2 to A, and z3 to B = (\frac{1}{2})^3

Consequently, the likelihood of no collision is 2×1/8 = 0.25.

<h3>What are the types of probability distributions ?</h3>

Discrete and continuous probability distributions are the two main categories in which probability distributions fall. There are numerous varieties of probability distributions within each category.

  • The number of favorable outcomes of an event divided by the total number of possible outcomes of an event can be used to calculate the probability of an event.
  • The likelihood of a sure or certain event is one.
  • The likelihood of an impossibility is 0 (0).
  • Every event has a probability between 0 and 1.
