Answer:

Probability of eligible applicants who pass the exam is 0.665

probability of applicants who are ineligible but pass the exam 0.063

Step-by-step explanation:

Total percentage eligible applicants who pass the exam

\textrm {89\%  of 70\%}= \dfrac{89\times70}{100}=62.3\%

Total  ineligible applicants  who pass the exam

\textrm {14\%  of 30\%}= \dfrac{14\times30}{100}=4.2\%

All applicants who pass this exam 62.3% + 4.2% = 66.5%

Probability of applicants who pass the exam

\textrm{probability }= \dfrac{66.5}{100}=0.665

Out of 66.5% applicants who pass the exam , 4.2% applicants are ineligible

\textrm{so the probability is}\dfrac{4.2}{66.5}=0.063

Probability of applicants who pass the exam is 0.665

probability of applicants who are ineligible but pass the exam 0.063

it costs $20 for 4 play tickets and $35 for 7 play tickets. Is cost per ticket constant? why or why not?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The cost per ticket is<u> constant</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

It costs $20 for 4 play tickets and $35 for 7 play tickets.

Now, to get whether cost per ticket is constant or not.

So, if the cost per ticket is constant that means the cost of ticket for a play or more is fixed, non-varying and it does not change.

Now, we check it:

4 play tickets costs  = $20.

1 play tickets costs  = $20 ÷ 4 = $5.

So, 7 play tickets costs = $5 × 7 = $35.

Thus, the cost of ticket for play is not changing and it is constant.

So the cost per ticket is constant.

Therefore, the cost per ticket is constant.
