A bag contains Red, Green and Yellow balls. A ball is taken at random from the bag. The probability that it is Red is 0.35 and t
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

  • P(Yellow)=0.25
  • P(Not Red)=0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

P(Red)=0.35

P(Green)=0.4

(a)Since there are three colours inside the bag

P(Red)+P(Green)+P(Yellow)=1

0.35+0.4+P(Yellow)=1

P(Yellow)=1-(0.35+0.4)

P(Yellow)=0.25

(b) In probability, the sum of an event and its complement is 1.

Therefore:

P(Red)+P(Not Red)=1

0.35+P(Not Red)=1

P(Not Red)=1-0.35

P(Not Red)=0.65

Can someone smart please help me?
ollegr [7]
Hello! 

For a:

How I would do this, is I would first say if all 46 animals (heads) were chickens, how many legs would there be? Each chicken has 2 legs, so 46 * 2 = 92. The total amount of legs is 96 as stated in the question, so if all of the animals were chickens, the farmer would be 4 legs short.

Now to add rabbits into the equation. Rabbits have 4 legs, and chickens have 2. You want to find the difference between the two, because as you add rabbits to the animals the farmer has, then you have to take away chickens at the same time. 4-2 = 2, so for each rabbit you replace, you add 2 legs. 

Since the farmer is 4 legs short with all chickens, then you just divide that 4 by the 2 legs you add by replacing a chicken with a rabbit.

4 / 2 = 2 rabbits

So that means there are 2 rabbits. Since there are 46 heads in total, if 2 are rabbits, that means there are 44 chickens.

So there are 44 chickens and 2 rabbits.

b)

You can follow the same steps: I'm assuming all are child tickets for now:

3.05 * 100 = $305

And now you find how much money short you are.

498.6 - 305 = 193.6

Next, you find the difference in the ticket costs.

5.25 - 3.05 = 2.20

And you divide to find the number of adult tickets.

193.6 / 2.2 = 88

Since 100 tickets were sold, and 88 adult tickets were sold, that means 12 child tickets were sold.

one night a theater sold 548 movie tickets. an adult’s costs $6.50 an child’s cost $3.50. in all, $2,881 was takin in. how many
gavmur [86]

Answer:

  • 321 adult tickets
  • 227 child tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

This sort of problem is easily solved by defining a variable to be the quantity of the higher-value contributor. Here, we can let x represent the number of adult tickets. Then total revenue is ...

  6.50x +3.50(548-x) = 2881

  3x +1918 = 2881 . . . . . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  3x = 963 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1918

  x = 321 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

  548-x = 548 -321 = 227 . . . . . .number of child tickets

321 adult tickets and 227 child tickets were sold.
