In order to solve this problem, we transform the statements into
algebraic expressions. First, we assign the variables.
Let:
x = Gina’s number
y = Sara’s number
For the first equation, we show that Gina’s number is greater
than Sara’s number by 2. For the second equation, we show that the sum of both
numbers is 68.
<span>(1)
</span>x – y = 2
<span>(2)
</span>x + y = 68
<span>We
add the two expressions, which result in the expression: 2x = 70. Then we
divide 70 by 2 to get the value of x. We then have x = 35. Using the second
equation, we solve for y = 68-35. This gives y = 33. To summarize, Gina’s
number is 35 while Sara’s number is 33.</span>
<span>P(1 claim) = p/4
P(2 claims) = (p/4)/4 = p/16
You should see that the distribution follows a geometric series with common ratio 1/4.
Sum geometric = (first term) / (1 - common ratio) = p/(1 - 1/4) = 4p/3
But the sum of all the probabilites must equal 1 ----> 4p/3 = 1 ----> p = 3/4
P(2 or more claims) = 1 - P(0 claims) - P(1 claim) = 1 - 3/4 - 3/16 = 1/16</span>
Answer:
141.18
Step-by-step explanation:
A because 2x9 equals 18 and 9x2 equals 18
