Answer:

The price of one adult ticket = $13

The price of one student ticket = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 adult ticket = x

Let the price of 1 student ticket = y

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 12 adult tickets and 10 student tickets for a total of $196.

12 × x + 10 × y = $196

12x + 10y = 196....... Equation 1

The school took in $59 on the second day by selling 3 adult tickets and 5 student tickets

3 × x + 5 × y = $59

3x + 5y = 59.......... Equation 2

Using Elimination method

We eliminate y, by Multiplying equation 1 by 5 and Equation 2 by 10

12x + 10y = 196....... Equation 1 × 5

3x + 5y = 59.......... Equation 2 × 10

60x + 50y = 980....... Equation 3

30x + 50y = 590......... Equation 4

Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3

30x = 390

x = 390/30

x = $13

Therefore, the price of one adult ticket = $13

Remember: x = $13

3x + 5y = 59.......... Equation 2

Substitute

3(13) + 5y = 59

39 + 5y = 59

5y = 59 - 39

5y = 20

y = 20/5

y = $4

Therefore, the price of one student ticket = $4

Solve for x. 3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10 x = 36/7 x = 24/7 x = 16/7 x = 9/7
IRISSAK [1]

3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10

Use the distributive property:

3x + 6 + 4x - 20 = 10

Combine like terms:

7x -14 = 10

Add 14 to both sides:

7x = 24

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 24/7

Please help im so lost Ty btw
klasskru [66]

Answer:

1) gradient  (00) (-2 4) = y2-y1 / 2-1 = 4/-2 = -2  m = -2/1  means = m = -2  (negative slope)   2)  gradient  y2-y1 / x2-x1 = 3-0 / 2-0  = 3/2 = (1 1/2)/1   m = 1 1/2  (positive slope) we use the formula y-values divided by the change in the x-values.    The equation of the gradient each goes like this 1) y = -2x   as y is at origin nothing else to add     The equation of the gradient each goes like this 2) y = 1  1/2x     The equation of the point formula  1) we take the y -y1 = m (x +x 1)  =  y-0 = -2x (x +0)  (as m = -2) y = -2(x +0)   and  The equation of the point formula  2)  y - 0 = m ( x +x1)     y - 0 = 1 1/2( x +0)  = y = 1 1/2( x +0)

The constant term in the given equation is -3. This is the point where the graph must cross the y-axis. Graph B crosses at +3, so is not the answer.

The coefficient of x is 3/4. This means the line rises 3 units in 4 horizontal units. The line in Graph C appears to rise 3 units in 2 horizontal units, so is not the answer.

Graph A has the correct y-intercept and slope, so is the correct choice.

Here are the total scores of 10 students in an introductory statistics course.
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean (m) = 72

Standard deviation (sd) = 10

Grading cutoff policy:

bottom 5% receive F

next 15% receive D

next 35% receive C

next 30% receive B

A) Give the cutoffs for the grades in this course in terms of standardized scores.

Standardized score for grade cutoff:

Locating the Zscore for the proportions on the z table :

Bottom 5% = 0.05 ; corresponding Zscore = - 1.645

next 15% receive D = (5 +15)% 0.20 ; corresponding Zscore = - 0.84

next 35% receive C = (20+35)% = 0.55 ; corresponding Zscore = 0.13

next 30% receive B = (55 + 30)% = 0.85 ; Corresponding Zscore = 1.04

B) Give the cutoffs in terms of actual total scores.

Recall:

Zscore = (x - m) /sd ; where x = actual score

x = sd*z + m

For F:

10*(-1.645) + 72 = 55.55

For D:

10*(-0.84) + 72 = 63.6

For C:

10*(0.13) + 72 = 73.3

For B:

10*(1.04) + 72 = 82.4

C) Do you think that this method of assigning grades is a good one?

Yes, it is good in terms of expressing scores around the mean such that score below are negative and those above are positive. However, it is a little bit ambiguous.
