Answer:

x=811/238, y=36/119. (811/238, 36/119).

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+(x-y/8)=17

2y+x-(5y+2/4)=2

-----------------------

4x+x-y/8=17

5x-y/8=17

40x-y=136

y=40x-136

------------------

2y+x-5y-2/4=2

2y-5y+x-1/2=2

-3y+x=2+1/2

-3y+x=4/2+1/2

-3y+x=5/2

-3(40x-136)+x=5/2

-120x+408+x=5/2

-119x=5/2-408

-119x=5/2-816/2

-119x=-811/2

119x=811/2

x=(811/2)/119

x=(811/2)(1/119)=811/238

y=40(811/238)-136

y=16220/119-136

y=36/119

x=811/238, y=36/119.

Jane must get at least three of the four problems on the exam correct to get an A. She has been able to do 80% of the problems o
NISA [10]

Answer:

a) There is n 81.92% probability that she gets an A.

b) If she gets the first problem correct, there is an 89.6% probability that she gets an A.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the answer is correct, or it is not. This means that we can solve this problem using binomial distribution probability concepts.

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}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

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

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

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

For this problem, we have that:

The probability she gets any problem correct is 0.8, so \pi = 0.8.

(a) What is the probability she gets an A?

There are four problems, so n = 4

Jane must get at least three of the four problems on the exam correct to get an A.

So, we need to find P(X \geq 3)

P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

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

P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.80)^{3}.(0.2)^{1} = 0.4096

P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.80)^{4}.(0.2)^{0} = 0.4096

P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 2*0.4096 = 0.8192

There is n 81.92% probability that she gets an A.

(b) If she gets the first problem correct, what is the probability she gets an A?

Now, there are only 3 problems left, so n = 3

To get an A, she must get at least 2 of them right, since one(the first one) she has already got it correct.

So, we need to find P(X \geq 2)

P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.80)^{2}.(0.2)^{1} = 0.384

P(X = 4) = C_{3,3}.(0.80)^{3}.(0.2)^{0} = 0.512

P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.384 + 0.512 = 0.896

If she gets the first problem correct, there is an 89.6% probability that she gets an A.

(10 POINTS) if you can answer ASAP
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

A. -0.93

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a negative due to the scatter plot line decreasing as the precipitation increases, which cancels out C & D. Then, it is decreasing rapidly, which portrays it as closer to -1 than 0, meaning the answer is A.

Which equation is equivalent to 3[x+3(4x-5)]=15x-24
Klio2033 [76]
3[x+3(4x-5)]=15x-24; x+12x-15=5x-8 (divide both sides by 3); 8x=7 (move all the x's to one side), x=7/8
