To find the answer,we can set an equation:

Let y be the number of lions.

Multiply y by 3 would be the number of monkeys:

3y = 24 \\ y =  \frac{24}{3}  \\ y = 8

Alternative method:

24÷3
=8

Therefore,there are 8 monkeys.

Hope it helps!

Find the probability that the senator was in the Democratic party, given that the senator was returning to office.
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The probability that the senator was in the Democratic party, given that the senator was returning to office is 0.4715.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Sophia made the following two-way table categorizing the US senators in 2015 by their political party and whether or not it was their first term in the senate.

                   Democratic         Republican         Independent        Total

First Term           11                          28                        11                     50

Returning           33                         26                        11                     70

Total                   44                         54                        22                  120

Find the probability that the senator was in the Democratic party, given that the senator was returning to office.

Solution:

The conditional probability of an event <em>A</em> given that another event <em>X</em> has already occurred is given by:

P(A|X)=\frac{P(A\cap X)}{P(X)}

The probability of an event <em>E</em> is given by the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}

Compute the probability of selecting an US senator who is a Democratic and was returning to office as follows:

P(D\cap R)=\frac{33}{120}=0.275

Compute the probability of selecting an US senator who was returning to office as follows:

P(R)=\frac{70}{120}=0.5833

Compute the conditional probability, P (D | R) as follows:

P(D|R)=\frac{P(D\cap R)}{P(R)}

            =\frac{0.275}{0.5833}\\\\=0.4714555\\\\\approx 0.4715

Thus, the probability that the senator was in the Democratic party, given that the senator was returning to office is 0.4715.

A grocery wants to make two kinds of coffee. One consoles for $1.40 pound, and the other cells for $2.95 a pound. He wants to ma
steposvetlana [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

a lot of typos in the problem description.

I assume the price of the mix is 1:1 related to the prices of the individual types of coffee.

so, from what I understood we can define

x = pounds of the first type of coffee.

y = pounds of the second type of coffee.

x + y = 21 pounds

1.4x + 2.95y = 2.6(x + y) = 2.6×21 = $54.60

in the second equation we have to bring the given "$2.60 per pound" to the total price, which is $2.60 times the total amount of pounds (which is 21).

from the first equation we get

x = 21 - y

and that we use in the second equation

1.4×(21 - y) + 2.95y = 54.6

29.4 - 1.4y + 2.95y = 54.6

1.55y = 25.2

y = 25.2 / 1.55 = 16.25806452... ≈ 16.26 pounds

x = 21 - y = 4.741935484... ≈ 4.74 pounds

so, he should mix 4.74 pounds of the first (cheaper) type and 16.26 pounds of the second (expensive) type.
