Complete question is;

A family of 6 is visiting a mall. The mall has 10 exit doors. Assume random selection. Find the probability that

a. No family member chooses the same exit door.

b. Every family member chooses the same exit door.

Answer:

A) 0.6

B) 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told there are 10 exit doors and the family consists of 6 people.

This implies that for them not to choose the same exit door there will be 6 different doors they will pass.

Thus;

Probability that the no family member chooses the same exit door = 6/10 = 0.6

B) If they all choose the same exit door, it means only 1 out of the 10 exit doors will be used by them.

Thus;

Probability that every family member chooses the same exit door = 1/10 = 0.1

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • 6 large prints
  • 12 small prints
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<em>Numerical Reasoning</em>

Consider a set of prints that consists of 2 small prints and one large print (that is, twice as many small prints as large). The value of that set will be ...

... 2×$20 +45 = $85

To have revenue of at least $510, the studio must sell ...

... $510/$85 = 6

sets of prints. That is, the studio needs to sell at least 6 large prints and 12 small ones.

_____

<em>With an equation</em>

Let x represent the number of large prints the studio needs to sell. Then 2x will represent the number of small prints. Total sales will be ...

... 20·2x +45·x ≥ 510

... 85x ≥ 510

... x ≥ 510/85

... x ≥ 6

The studio needs to sell at least 6 large prints and 12 small prints.

I don't understand the substitution method?
liq [111]
It depends on what variable you are tying to solve for first. Say you are trying to solve for x first and then y on the first problem you wrote.

In substitution you solve one of the equations for example with
6x+2y=-10
2x+2y=-10
you solve 2x+2y=-10 for x

2x+2y=-10
-2y = -2y (what you do to one side of the = you do to the other)
2x=-10-2y (to get the variable by its self you divide the # and the variable)
/2=/2 (-10/2=-5 and -2y/2= -y or -1y, they are the same either way)
x=-5-y

now you put that in your original equation that you didn't solve for:
6(-5-y)+2y=-10 solve for that
-30-6y+2y=-10 combine like terms
-30-4y=-10 get the y alone and to do this you first get the -30 away from it
+30=+30
-4y=20 divide the -4 from each side
/-4=/-4 (20/-4=-5)
y=-5

now the equation you previously solved for x can be solved for y.
x=-5-y
x=-5-(-5) a minus parenthesis negative -(- gives you a positive
-5+5=0
x=0

and now we have solved the problem. x=0 and y=-5

Fudgin [204]
If we let x as the number of years of service in the company and f(x) as the increase in the wage, the step wise function that describes the scenario is
f(x) = { 0.5,   x < 3
         { 1.0,   3 ≤ x < 6
         { 1.5,   6 ≤ x < 9
         { 2.0,   9 ≤ x < 12

The point (2, 12) represents the wage increase of x < 12
