Answer:

17 adult shirts were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

x = adult shirts and y = children shirts

x + y = 40......adult shirts + child shirts = 40 total shirts

17x + 13y = 588...$ 17 for each adult shirt (x) + $ 13 for each child shirt (y) = $ 588

these are the equations we will be using.

now lets rearrange the first one....x + y = 40......x = 40 - y.....now sub 40 - y in for x back into the second equation

17x + 13y = 588

17(40 - y) + 13y = 588

680 - 17y + 13y = 588

-17y + 13y = 588 - 680

-4y = - 92

y = -92/-4

y = 23 <=== so there were 23 child shirts sold

x + y = 40

x + 23 = 40

x = 40 - 23

x = 17 <===== and 17 adult shirts sold

check...

17x + 13y = 588

17(17) + 13(23) = 588

289 + 299 = 588

588 = 588 (correct)

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability distribution of this type is a vicariate distribution because it specifies two random variable X and Y. We represent the probability X takes x and Y takes y by

f(x,y) = P((X=x,Y=y) ,

and given that the random variables are independent the joint pmf isbgiven by:

f(x,y) = fX(x) .fY(y) and this gives the table (see attachment)

(b) the required probability is given by considering X=0,1 and Y =0,1

f(x,y) = sum{(P(X ≤ 1, Y ≤ 1) }

= [0.1 +0.2 ] × [0.1 + 0.3]

= 0.3 × 0.4

= 0.12

Now we find

fX(x) = sum{[f(x.y)]} for y =0, 1 and similarly for fY(y)= sum{[f(x,y)]} for x=0, 1

fX(x) = sum{[f(x,y)]}= 0.1+0.3

= 0.4

fY(y) = sum{[f(x.y)]} = 0.1 + 0.2

= 0.3

Since fY(y) × fX(x) = 0.4 × 0.3

= 0.12

Hence f(x,y) = fX(x) .fY(y), the events are independent

(c) the required event is give by: [P(X<=1, PY<=1)]

= P(X<=1) . P(Y<=1)

= [sum{[f(x.y]} over Y=0,1] × [sum{[f(x.y)]}, over X= 0, 1

= 0.4 × 0.3

= 0.12

(d) the required event is given by the idea that: either The South has no bed and the North has or the the North has no bed and the South has. Let this event be A

A =sum[(P(X = 1<= x<= 4, Y =0)] + sum[P(X =0 Y= 1 <= x <= 3)]

A = [0.02 + 0.03 + 0.02 + 0.02] + [0.03 + 0.04 + 0.02]

A = [0.09] + [ 0.09]

A = 0.18

Pls note the sum of the vertical column X=2 is 0.3

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: the credit union loaned out $40000 at 6% and $10000 at 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount that the

credit union loaned out at the annual rate of 6%.

Let y represent the amount that the

credit union loaned out at the annual rate of 12%.

credit union loaned out $50,000, part at an annual rate of 6% and the rest at an annual rate of 12%. It means that

x + y = 50000

The interest on $x after 1 year would be

6/100 × x = 0.06x

The interest on $y after 1 year would be

12/100 × y = 0.12y

The collected combined interest was $3,600 that year. It means that

0.06x + 0.12y = 3600- - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 50000 - y into equation 1, it becomes

0.06(50000 - y) + 0.12y = 3600

3000 - 0.06y + 0.12y = 3600

- 0.06y + 0.12y = 3600 - 3000

0.06y = 600

y = 600/0.06

y = $10000

x = 50000 - y = 50000 - 10000

x = $40000

If the legs of a right triangle are x, (2x - 1) and its hypotenuse is (2x + 1), what is the value of x?​
Ber [7]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)(2x - 1)

(2x + 1)(2x + 1) = x² + 4x²-2x-2x+1

4x²+2x+2x+1 = 5x²-4x+1

4x²+4x+1 = 5x²-4x+1

0= 5x²-4x²-4x-4x+1-1

0= x²-8x

x²-8x=0

x²=8x

x=8
