The box office took in a total of $2905 in paid admissions for the high-school musical. Adult tickets cost $8 each, and student

tickets cost $3 each. If 560 people attended the show, how many were students? Let s = the number of students attending, and let a = the number of adults attending. Which two equations can be used to solve this problem? Select the two that apply.

There are no equations to choose from but it should look like the following.

a= # of adult tickets
s= # of student tickets

QUANTITY EQUATION
a + s= 560

COST EQUATION
$8a + $3s= $2905

***If you have to also solve for the number of adults and students, here are the steps.

STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -8

-8(a + s)= -8(560)
-8a - 8s= -4480

STEP 2:
add cost equation and step 1 equation

$8a + $3s= $2905
-8a - 8s= -4480
a term cancels out to zero
-5s= -1575
divide both sides by -5
s= 315 students

STEP 3:
substitute s=315 in quantity equation
a + s= 560
a + 315= 560
subtract 315 from both sides
a= 245 adults

ANSWER:
Quantity Equation
a + s= 560

Cost Equation
$8a + $3s= $2905

Hope this helps! :)

An individual repeatedly attempts to pass a driving test. Suppose that the probability of passing the test with each attempt is
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

a) Our random variable X="number of tests taken until the individual passes" follows a geomteric distribution with probability of success p=0.25

For this case the probability mass function would be given by:

P(X= k) = (1-p)^{k-1} p , k = 1,2,3,...

b) P(X \leq 3) = P(X=1) +P(X=2) +P(X=3)

P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25

P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875

P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406

And adding the values we got:

P(X \leq 3) =0.25+0.1875+0.1406=0.578

c) P(X \geq 5) = 1-P(X

And we can find the individual probabilities:

P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25

P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875

P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406

P(X= 4) = (1-0.25)^{4-1} *0.25 = 0.1055

P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.25+0.1875+0.1406+0.1055]= 0.316

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p

Let X the random variable that measures the number of trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

X\sim Geo (1-p)

Part a

Our random variable X="number of tests taken until the individual passes" follows a geomteric distribution with probability of success p=0.25

For this case the probability mass function would be given by:

P(X= k) = (1-p)^{k-1} p , k = 1,2,3,...

Part b

We want this probability:

P(X \leq 3) = P(X=1) +P(X=2) +P(X=3)

We find the individual probabilities like this:

P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25

P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875

P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406

And adding the values we got:

P(X \leq 3) =0.25+0.1875+0.1406=0.578

Part c

For this case we want this probability:

P(X \geq 5)

And we can use the complement rule like this:

P(X \geq 5) = 1-P(X

And we can find the individual probabilities:

P(X= 1) = (1-0.25)^{1-1} *0.25 = 0.25

P(X= 2) = (1-0.25)^{2-1} *0.25 = 0.1875

P(X= 3) = (1-0.25)^{3-1} *0.25 = 0.1406

P(X= 4) = (1-0.25)^{4-1} *0.25 = 0.1055

P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.25+0.1875+0.1406+0.1055]= 0.316
