x+y=10

x+2y=14
x is common in both so u have to subtract the second one from 1st
x-x + y-2y = 10-14
-y = -4
y=4
which means bottle of water (y) = 4
and then substitute 4 in equation (x+y=10 or x+2y=10)
x + 4 = 10
x=6

Answer:

the percent of increase is 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent of increase in general could be calculate as:

$\frac{Vf - Vi}{Vi} *100$

where Vf is final value and Vi is initial value.

From the question we know that Vi is equal to 25 and Vf is equal to 31. Replacing this values on the equation we get:

$\frac{31-25}{25} *100=24%$

That's mean that at second attempt the percent of increase is 24%, taking into account that at the first attempt a student get 25 questions correct.

In a multiple choice quiz there are 5 questions and 4 choices for each question (a, b, c, d). Robin has not studied for the quiz

Ahat [919]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

b) There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

c) There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question can have two outcomes. Either it is right, or it is wrong. So, for b) and c), we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

Each question has 4 choices. So for each question, Robin has a $\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$ probability of getting ir right. So $\pi = 0.25$ . There are five questions, so $n = 5$ .

(a) What is the probability that the first question she gets right is the second question?

There is a 75% probability of getting the first question wrong and there is a 25% probability of getting the second question right. These probabilities are independent.

So

$P = 0.75(0.25) = 0.1875$

There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

(b) What is the probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right?

This is: $P = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{4} = 0.3955$

$P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{3} = 0.2637$

$P = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.3955 + 0.2637 = 0.6592$

There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

(c) What is the probability that she gets the majority of the questions right?

That is the probability that she gets 3, 4 or 5 questions right.

$P = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{2} = 0.0879$

$P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{1} = 0.0146$

$P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{0} = 0.001$

$P = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0879 + 0.0146 + 0.001 = 0.1035$

There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

Please help me!!! 30 points, will report for ridiculous responses.

Answer:

The value of an exterior angle is the sum of the two interior angles not adjacent to it so

a:

x = 64 + 45 = $\boxed{109}$

b:

3x + 6 = 153 so

3x = 147 so

x = $\boxed$ $\boxed{49}$
