<u>the correct question is</u>
The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 10 denarii per day to support 4 legionaries and 4 archers. It only costs 5 denarii per day to support 2 legionaries and 2 archers. Use a system of linear equations in two variables. Can we solve for a unique cost for each soldier?
Let
x-------> the cost to support a legionary per day
y-------> the cost to support an archer per day
we know that
4x+4y=10 ---------> equation 1
2x+2y=5 ---------> equation 2
If you multiply equation 1 by 2
2*(2x+2y)=2*5-----------> 4x+4y=10
so
equation 1 and equation 2 are the same
The system has infinite solutions-------> Is a consistent dependent system
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
We cannot solve for a unique cost for each soldier, because there are infinite solutions.

Answer: a) 1 / ⁴⁰C₅ b) 0.33
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The sample space consists of all numbers 1-40.
Since any of the number can be taken from the sample space so each of five 5 distinct numbers we take has equal probability of occurring. So probability of each 5 numbers set we take will be equal to 1 / ⁴⁰C₅
b)
If we pick exactly 3 even number then that means other 2 will be odd.
So, we have sample space of 40 numbers out of which 20 are even and 20 are odd.
Now we have to pick 3 even out of 20 and 2 odd out of 20.
Probability = ²⁰C₃ * ²⁰C₂ / ⁴⁰C₅
Probability= 0.33
Answer:
the mean is greater than the median
