Answer:

The number of sold morning tickets are 168.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of tickets = 378

Total earned amount = $2929.50

Charge of each morning ticket = $6.50

Charge of each night ticket = $8.75

Solution,

Let the number of morning tickets be 'x'.

And also let the number of night tickets be 'y'.

So, the total number of tickets is the sum of number of morning tickets and number of evening tickets.

So, framing in equation form, we get;

x+y=378\ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Again, Total earned amount is the sum of number of morning tickets multiplied with charge of each ticket and number of evening tickets multiplied with charge of each ticket.

So, framing in equation form, we get;

6.50x+8.75y=2929.50\ \ \ equation\ 2

On multiplying equation 2 by 100 on both side, we get;

100(6.50x+8.75y)=2929.50\times100\\\\650x+875y=292950\ \ \ \ equation\ 3

Now multiplying equation 1 by '650', we get;

650(x+y)=378\times650\\\\650x+650y=245700\ \ \ \ equation\ 4

Now subtracting equation 4 from equation 3, we get;

(650x+875y)-(650x+650y)=292950-245700\\\\650x+875y-650x-650y=47250\\\\225y=47250\\\\y=\frac{47250}{225}=210

Now substituting the value of'y' in equation 1, we get;

x+y=378\\\\x+210=378\\\\x=378-210=168

Hence The number of sold morning tickets are 168.

Whereas The number of sold night tickets are 210.

A consumer organization estimates that over a​ 1-year period 20​% of cars will need to be repaired​ once, 5​% will need repairs​
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

a) 0.5476

b) 0.0676

c) 0.4524

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this information, we can conclude that 74% of the cars won't need any repairs over a 1-year period (100 - 20 - 5 - 1 = 74%). And 26% will need at least 1 repair over a 1-year period.

P(car doesn't need repair) = 0.74

P (car needs repair) = 0.26

If you own two cars, the probability that:

<u>a) Neither will need repair:</u>

We need that car 1 won't need repair AND car 2 won't need repair.

=P(Car 1 doesn't need repair) x P(Car 2 doesn't need repair)

= 0.74 x 0.74 = 0.5476

The probability that neither will need repair is 0.5476.

<u>b) Both will need repair:</u>

We need that car 1 needs repair AND car 2 needs repair.

P(Car 1 needs repair) x P(Car 2 needs repair)

= 0.26 x 0.26 = 0.0676

The probability that both will need repair is 0.0676

<u>c) At least one car will need repair</u>

Car 1 needs repair or Car 2 needs repair or both need repair.

To solve this one, it's easier to use the complement of P(neither needs repair)

1 - P(neither needs repair)

1 - (0.74)(0.74)  = 1 - 0.5476 = 0.4524

The probability that at least one car will need repair is 0.4524
