First, x+y=60 and solve for x

x= 60-y

Then set up the equation 11x+6y=460

Since, x=60-y, you plug in for y

11(60-y)+6y=460

660-11y+6y=460

660-5y=460

660-660-5y=460-660

-5y=-200

Divide both sides by 5 (you can drop the negative because they are both negative)

5y/5 = 200/5

y=40

Then take y & plug it back into the original equation of:

x+y = 60 (solve for x)

x+40=60

x+40-40=60-40

x=20

The answer is 20 adult tickets (x) and 40 child tickets (y) were sold.

Y varies directly with x, and y = 5 when x = 4. What is the value of x when y = 8?
Tomtit [17]
As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)

BINOMCDF on calculator question
max2010maxim [7]

Explanation:

For the purpose of filling in the table, the BINOMPDF function is more appropriate. The table is asking for p(x)--not p(n≤x), which is what the CDF function gives you.

If you want to use the binomcdf function, the lower and upper limits should probably be the same: 0,0 or 1,1 or 2,2 and so on up to 5,5.

The binomcdf function on my TI-84 calculator only has the upper limit, so I would need to subtract the previous value to find the table entry for p(x).
