A Drama club has 40 members. The number of girls is 5 less then 2 times the number of boys. How many members are boys? girls?

1 answer:

4 0

We can write b= boys, and g= girls

we know that girls are equal g=(2*b-5)
we also know that b+g=40
we will replace girls with the above equation and get
b+ (2*b-5) = 40 , 2*b=2b
b+2b= 40+5
3b=45, divide everything by 5
b=15
girls are 2*15-5=25
15+25=40

Suppose according to past data for a small boutique, about 30% of the customers who walk into the store purchase at least one it

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the no of customers who purchase atleast one item.

X is binomial since there are two outcomes and each customer is independent of the other.

a) Here n =10

Out of 10 customers we expect np = 3 customers to buy at least one item.

b) exactly 3 of the customers would purchase at least one item

= $P(X=3)=10C3(0.3)^3(0,7)^7\\=0.2668$

c) the probability that no more than 3 customers would purchase at least one item

= $P(X\leq 3)\\= 0.6496$

Question 6

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

33 children

62 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up 2 equations (a=adults c=children)

The first equation will be 3.25(a)+3 = 300.5

The second equation will be a + c = 95

Subtract c from both sides to get:

a = 95 - c

Replace c in the 1st equation to get:

3.25(95-c) + 3c = 300.5

Distribute 3.25 to 95 and -c:

308.75 - 3.25c + 3c = 300.5

Subtract 308.75 from both sides:

-3.25c + 3c = 300.5 - 308.75

Combine like terms:

-0.25c = -8.25

Divide by -0.25

children = 33

Subtract 33 from 95 to get

adults = 62

Given the two relations, which one is a function and why is the other one not a function

Reil [10]
