You would solve this with simultaneous equations, so if we write it as:
5n + 2p = 9
3n + 2p = 6
(subtract)
2n = 3
÷ 2
notebooks = 1.5

Now you would substitute it in:
(3 × 1.5) + 2p = 6
4.5 + 2p = 6
- 4.5
2p = 1.5
÷ 2
pens = 0.75

So your final answer is notebooks are $1.50 and pens are $0.75, I hope this helps!

A gymnast dismounts the uneven parallel bars. Her height, h, depends on the time, t, that she is in the air h = −162 + 24t + 16.
dimulka [17.4K]
That is when h=0
so assuming yo meant
h(t)=-16t²+24t+16
solve for t such that h(t)=0
because when height=0, the gymnast hits the ground

so
0=-16t²+24t+16
using math (imma complete the square
0=-16(t²-3/2t)+16
0=-16(t²-3/2t+9/16-9/16)+16
0=-16((t-3/4)²-9/16)+16
0=-16(t-3/4)²+9+16
0=-16(t-3/4)²+25
-25=-16(t-3/4)²
25/16=(t-3/4)²
sqrt both sides
+/-5/4=t-3/4
3/4+/-5/4=t
if we do plus (because minus would give us negative height)
8/4=t
2=t
it takes 2 seconds

Because not all airline passengers show up for their reserved seat, an airline sells 125 tickets for a flight that holds only 12
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

98.75% probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight

Step-by-step explanation:

For each passenger who show up, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they can take the flight, or they do not. The probability of a passenger taking the flight is independent from other passenger. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

However, we are working with a large sample. So i am going to aproximate this binomial distribution to the normal.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

The probability that a passenger does not show up is 0.10:

This means that the probability of showing up is 1-0.1 = 0.9. So p = 0.9

Because not all airline passengers show up for their reserved seat, an airline sells 125 tickets

This means that n = 125

Using the approximation:

\mu = E(X) = np = 125*0.9 = 112.5

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{125*0.9*0.1} = 3.354

(a) What is the probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight

This is P(X \leq 120), so this is the pvalue of Z when X = 120.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{120 - 112.5}{3.354}

Z = 2.24

Z = 2.24 has a pvalue of 0.9875

98.75% probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight
