Answer:
The correct answers are x + y = 5600 and x - y = 700.
Step-by-step explanation:
Write a system of equations in x and y describing the situation. Do not solve the system.
Keiko has a total of $ 5600, which she has invested in two accounts.
Let x be the amount of money in the larger account and y be the amount of money in the smaller account.
So, Keiko has invested her $5600 in two accounts x and y.
Thus x + y = 5600.
Also, given by the problem, the larger account (x) is $ 700 greater than the smaller account (y).
Thus x - y = 700.
Thus the two system of equation in x and y describing the given situation are
x + y = 5600 and x - y = 700
At at least one die come up a 3?We can do this two ways:) The straightforward way is as follows. To get at least one 3, would be consistent with the following three mutually exclusive outcomes:the 1st die is a 3 and the 2nd is not: prob = (1/6)x(5/6)=5/36the 1st die is not a 3 and the 2nd is: prob = (5/6)x((1/6)=5/36both the 1st and 2nd come up 3: prob = (1/6)x(1/6)=1/36sum of the above three cases is prob for at least one 3, p = 11/36ii) A faster way is as follows: prob at least one 3 = 1 - (prob no 3's)The probability to get no 3's is (5/6)x(5/6) = 25/36.So the probability to get at least one 3 is, p = 1 - (25/36) = 11/362) What is the probability that a card drawn at random from an ordinary 52 deck of playing cards is a queen or a heart?There are 4 queens and 13 hearts, so the probability to draw a queen is4/52 and the probability to draw a heart is 13/52. But the probability to draw a queen or a heart is NOT the sum 4/52 + 13/52. This is because drawing a queen and drawing a heart are not mutually exclusive outcomes - the queen of hearts can meet both criteria! The number of cards which meet the criteria of being either a queen or a heart is only 16 - the 4 queens and the 12 remaining hearts which are not a queen. So the probability to draw a queen or a heart is 16/52 = 4/13.3) Five coins are tossed. What is the probability that the number of heads exceeds the number of tails?We can divide
