Answer: Odds in favor = Number of successes: Number of failures

Step-by-step explanation:

Example

A jewelry box contains 5 white pearl, 2 gold rings and 6 silver rings. What are the odds of drawing a white pearl from the jewelry box?

Number of successes = 5

Number of failures = 2 + 6 = 8

Numbers of ways to draw a white pearl: number of ways to draw another jewelry.

5:8

The odds are 5:8

What is the equation of the circle graphed below? Use the caret ( ^ ) to enter any exponents; for example, write x2 as x^2.

kvv77 [185]

Equation of a circle in standard form:
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²
r=radius
(h,k) is the center.

In this case:
(h,k) =(0,0) (h=0,k=0 )
r=4

Therefore:
(x-0)²+(y-0)²=4²
x²+y²=16

Answer: x²+y²=16

Tickets to a concert cost $2 for children, $3 for teenagers and $5 for adults. When 570 people attended the concert, the total t

-Dominant- [34]

Let

x--------> the number of children

y------> the number of teenagers

z------> the number of adults

we know that

$2x+3y+5z=1,950$ ------> equation A

$x+y+z=570$ -----> equation B

$y=\frac{3}{4}x$

$x=\frac{4}{3}y$ -------> equation C

Substitute equation C in equation A and equation B

$2[\frac{4}{3}y]+3y+5z=1,950$

$\frac{17}{3}y+5z=1,950$ --------> equation D

$[\frac{4}{3}y]+y+z=570$

$\frac{7}{3}y+z=570$ --------> equation E

Multiply equation E by $-5$

$-\frac{35}{3}y-5z=-2,850$ --------> equation F

Adds equation D and equation F

$\frac{17}{3}y+5z=1,950\\\\-\frac{35}{3}y-5z=-2,850\\\\---------\\\\-\frac{18}{3}y=-900\\\\y=3*900/18\\\\y=150\ teenagers$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option</u>

$150\ teenagers$
