Set up a proportion, by creating a ratio of students to adults and solve for the unknown quantity.

2/3 = s/490

Cross multiply, multiplying the numerator/top number in the first fraction/ratio by the denominator of the second fraction/ratio.

2 • 490 = 980

Then cross multiply again, multiplying the numerator/top number in the second fraction/ratio by the denominator/bottom number in the first fraction/ratio.

S • 3 = 3s

Then, solve for the variable (S), by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.

3s/3 = 980/3

S = 327

Because student tickets cost $2 each, divide the solution by 2 to get the amount of student tickets sold.

327/2 = 164

So, 164 student tickets were sold.

Assuming that no adult tickets were sold, the answer would be 245 tickets.

A car dealership sells 0, 1, or 2 luxury cars on any day. When selling a car, the dealer also tries to persuade the customer to
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Mean = 1.42

Variance = 0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: X denote the number of luxury cars sold in a given day, and Y denote the number of extended warranties sold.

Also, joint probability function of X and Y are given.

To find:

mean and variance of X

Solution:

From the given joint probability function of X and Y,

P(X=0)=\frac{1}{6}\\P(X=1)=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1+2}{12}=\frac{3}{12}\\P(X=2)=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1+4+2}{12}=\frac{7}{12}

Mean of X:

E(X)=\sum XP(X)\\=0\left ( \frac{1}{6} \right )+1\left ( \frac{3}{12} \right )+2\left ( \frac{7}{12} \right )\\=0+\frac{3}{12}+\frac{14}{12}\\=\frac{17}{12}=1.42

Variance of X:

E(X^2)=\sum X^2P(X)\\=0^2\left ( \frac{1}{6} \right )+1^2\left ( \frac{3}{12} \right )+2^2\left ( \frac{7}{12} \right )\\=0+\frac{3}{12}+\frac{28}{12}\\=\frac{31}{12}

var(X)=E\left [ X^2 \right ]-\left ( E\left [ X \right ] \right )^2\\=\frac{31}{12}-\left ( \frac{17}{12} \right )^2\\=\frac{31}{12}-\frac{289}{144}\\=\frac{372-289}{144}\\=\frac{83}{144}\\=0.58

In the construction of the circumcenter, why do you only need to construct two perpendicular bisectors, and not all three?
Wittaler [7]
We know that the Circumcenter is the intersection of a triangle's right (perpendicular) bisectors. Once you have found two of these you can determine their point of intersection. 

It is a proven mathematical concept that the third perpendicular bisector will also cross through this intersection point. While it is not necessary to construct all three it is often done so to verify that the intersection of the first two perpendicular bisectors was in fact correct.
