Hey there!!

Given :

The total cost for 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts is $61.

The total cost for 3 pairs of paints and 4 shirts is $67.

<em>Let's take the cost for each pair of paints as 'p' and the cost for each shirt as 's'. </em>

Now, let's get these into an equation.

<em>Peter's equation</em> :

... 2p + 5s = 61

<em>Jessica's equation : </em>

...3p + 4s = 67

......................................................................................................

2p + 5s = 61 --- (1)

3p + 4s = 67 --- (2)

Multiply the first equation with 3 and the second equation with 2.

6p + 15s = 183

6p + 8s = 134

S<em>ubtract both the equations - </em>

... 7s = 49

Divide both sides with 7.

... s = 7

<u><em>Hence, the cost of each shirt is $7. </em></u>

Hope my answer helps!!

Write the first 6 terms of the arithmetic sequence whose first term is 8 and has a common difference of 2
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: The first 6 terms are = 8, 10, 12,14,16,18

Step-by-step explanation:

The NTH term of an Arithmetic Sequence is given as

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d

where a1 = First term  given as 8 and

d=  common difference given as 2

Therefore  We have that

the first term

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d = 8+(1-1) 2

a1= 8

second term=

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a2= 8 + (2-1) 2

= 8+ 2(1) = 10

3rd term

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a3= 8 + (3-1) 2

= 8+ 2(2)= 8 + 4=12

4th term

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a4= 8 + (4-1) 2

= 8+ 2(3)= 8+6=14

5th term

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a5= 8 + (5-1) 2

= 8+ 2(4)=8+ 8=16

6th term

an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d= a6= 8 + (6-1) 2

= 8+ 2(5)=8 +10 =18

"A study conducted at a certain college shows that 56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year
KiRa [710]

Answer:

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they find a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating, or they do not. The probability of a student finding a job in their chosen field within one year of graduating is independent of other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

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}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

56% of the school's graduates find a job in their chosen field within a year after graduation.

This means that p = 0.56

Find the probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.

This is P(X \geq 1) when n = 6.

Either none find a job, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.56)^{0}.(0.44)^{6} = 0.0073

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0073 = 0.9927

99.27% probability that among 6 randomly selected graduates, at least one finds a job in his or her chosen field within a year of graduating.
