Answer:

3. 60% probability the student is over the age of 21.4

4. 4.17% probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was over the age of 21.

5. 0% probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was 21 or younger

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcoes.

In this question:

40 students

24 over the age of 21.

16 are 21 or younger.

3. Find the probability the student is over the age of 21.

24 of the 40 students are over the age of 21.

24/40 = 0.6

60% probability the student is over the age of 21.4

4. Find the probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was over the age of 21.

24 students over the age of 21, one of which is Biff.

1/24 = 0.0417

4.17% probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was over the age of 21.

5. Find the probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was 21 or younger

Biff is not 21 or younger, he is over 21, so there are no desired outcomes.

So, 0% probability Biff was selected if you know the student selected was 21 or younger

A point P(x,y) moves along the graph of the equation y = x3 + x2 + 2. The x-values are changing at the rate of 2 units per secon
CaHeK987 [17]

Using implicit differentiation, it is found that y is changing at a rate of 10 units per second.

---------------------

The equation is:

y = x^3 + x^2 + 2

Applying implicit differentiation in function of t, we have that:

\frac{dy}{dt} = 3x^2\frac{dx}{dt} + 2x\frac{dx}{dt}

  • x-values changing at a rate of 2 units per second means that \frac{dx}{dt} = 2
  • Point Q(1,4) means that x = 1, y = 4.

We want to find \frac{dy}{dt}, thus:

\frac{dy}{dt} = 3x^2\frac{dx}{dt} + 2x\frac{dx}{dt}

\frac{dy}{dt} = 3(1)^2(2) + 2(1)(2) = 6 + 4 = 10

y is changing at a rate of 10 units per second.

Describe the graph of y = 3x2 and compare it with the graph of y=x^2.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

y=-x^2 is just y=x^2 reflected over the x-axis. In other words, the parabola is upside-down.

If 111 people attend a concert and tickets for adults cost $4 while tickets for children cost $3.25 and total receipts for the c
VikaD [51]

Answer:

57 children

54 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x the number of children admitted and call z the number of adults admitted.

Then we know that:

x + z = 111

We also know that:

3.25x + 4z = 401.25

We want to find the value of x and z. Then we solve the system of equations:

-Multiplay the first equation by -4 and add it to the second equation:

-4x - 4z = -444

3.25x + 4z = 401.25

----------------------------------

-0.75x = -42.75

x =\frac{-42.75}{-0.75}\\\\x=57

Now we substitute the value of x in the first equation and solve for the variable z

57 + z = 111

z = 111-57

z = 54
