How many solutions does this linear system have y= 1/2x+4 x+2y=-8

Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

1 solution

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1/2x + 4

x + 2y = -8

Solve the second equation for y.

2y = -x - 8

y = -1/2x - 4

The two equations in slope-intercept form are:

y = 1/2x + 4

y = -1/2x - 4

The system consists of two lines with different slopes, so they intercept at a single point which is the solution.

Answer: 1 solution

A consulting firm has received 2 Super Bowl playoff tickets from one of its clients. To be fair, the firm is randomly selecting

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Therefore the only statement that is not true is b.)

Step-by-step explanation:

There employees are 6 secretaries, 5 consultants and 4 partners in the firm.

a.) The probability that a secretary wins in the first draw

= $\frac{number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} secreataries}{total \hspace{0.1cm} number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} employees} = \frac{6}{15}$

b.) The probability that a secretary wins a ticket on second draw. It has been given that a ticket was won on the first draw by a consultant.

p(secretary wins on second draw | consultant wins on first draw)

= $\frac{p((consultant \hspace{0.1cm} wins \hspace{0.1cm} on \hspace{0.1cm} first \hspace{0.1cm}draw)\cap( secretary\hspace{0.1cm} wins\hspace{0.1cm} on second \hspace{0.1cm}draw))}{p(consultant \hspace{0.1cm} wins \hspace{0.1cm} on \hspace{0.1cm} first \hspace{0.1cm}draw)}$

= $\frac{\frac{5}{15} \times \frac{6}{14}}{\frac{5}{15} } = \frac{6}{14}$ .

The probability that a ticket was won on the first draw by a consultant a secretary wins a ticket on second draw = $\frac{6}{15}$ is not true.

The probability that a secretary wins on the second draw = $\frac{number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} secretaries \hspace{0.1cm} remaining } { number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} employees \hspace{0.1cm} remaining} = \frac{6 - 1}{15 - 1} = \frac{5}{14}$

c.) The probability that a consultant wins on the first draw =

$\frac{number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} consultants \hspace{0.1cm} } { number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} employees \hspace{0.1cm} } = \frac{5 }{15} = \frac{1}{3}$

d.) The probability of two secretaries winning both tickets

= (probability of a secretary winning in the first draw) × (The probability that a secretary wins on the second draw)

= $\frac{6}{15} \times \frac{5}{14} = \frac{1}{7}$

Therefore the only statement that is not true is b.)
