Answer:

a) 35,  b) 25,  c) 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of girls is 10 more than the number of boys, so it's a good thing to choose a variable to represent the number of boys.

Number of boys:  b

Number of girls:  b + 10

Ratio of girls:boys is 7:5, so

\frac{b+10}{b}=\frac{7}{5}

"Cross multiply" to get

7b=5(b+10)\\7b=5b+50\\2b=50\\b=25

There are 25 boys.  There are 10 more girls, so the number of girls is 35, and the total number of students is 60.

That's a packed classroom!

In general, after a group makes a reservation at a restaurant, they do not show up 20% of the time. If a restaurant has 8 reserv
sashaice [31]

Answer:

P(more than 2 don't show up)=0.2031

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication rule for independent events:

If two events A and B are independent then the multiplication rule state that:

P(A and B)= P(A) x P(B)

Find the probability that more than two do not show up:

The probability that the reservations at the restaurant do not show up is 0.20 (=20%) and there were 8 reservations.

P(more than 2 don't show up)= 1- P(less than or equal to 2 don't show up)

= 1-( P(none show up) +P(one don't show up)+P(two don't show up)

=1- ((0.8⁸) +₈ C₁ (0.2¹)x(0.8⁷)  +₈ C₂ (0.2²)x(0.8⁶)

=1- (0.1678 +0.3355+0.2936)= 1-0.7969

P(more than 2 don't show up)=0.2031

ZanzabumX [31]
To make this easier, we can convert the fractions into decimals. 3/4 is 0.75. 1 and 1/2 would be 1.50 and 2 and 1/4 would be 2.25. Now, let us to the subtraction in order for us to know the difference of each. So 1.50 minus 0.75 would be 0.75. And 2.25 minus 1.50 is also 0.75. 0.75 is 3/4 and this means that she increased 3/4 hour each day.
