Well it depends...... (.5= 1/2)
The answer is 10.00
s - the price of one shrub
p - the price of potting soil
p = 12.50
<span>The total bill for 1 potting soil and 5 shrubs was 62.50:
p + 5s = 62.50
12.50 + 5s = 62.50
5s = 62.50 - 12.50
5s = 50.00
s = 50.00 : 5
s = 10.00</span>
Answer:
a) one solution
b) no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Systems of equations can be described as having one solution, no solution or infinite solutions:
One solution: 'x' and 'y' are equal to only one value
No solution: 'x' and 'y' can not be solved with the given equations
Infinite solutions: values for 'x' and 'y' include all real numbers
In order to evaluate the systems, putting them in the same format is your first step:
a) - y = -5x - 6 or y - 5x = 6
y - 5x = -6
Since both equations have the same expression 'y - 5x', but there are equal to opposite values, this system would have no solution, as this would not be possible to calculate.
b) y + 3x = -1
y = 3x -1 or y - 3x = -1
Solving for 'y' by adding the equations and eliminating 'x', gives us:
2y = -2 or y = -1
Using y = -1 to plug back into an equation and solve for 'x': -1 + 3x = -1 or x = 0. Since 'x' and 'y' can be solved for a value, the system has just one solution.
Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.7568 = 75.68% probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears.
The people are chosen from the sample without replacement, which is why the <u>hypergeometric distribution</u> is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- N is the size of the population.
- n is the size of the sample.
- k is the total number of desired outcomes.
In this problem:
- 1000 people means that
- 130 can wiggle their ears, thus
- Two are selected, thus
.
The probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears is P(X = 0), thus:
0.7568 = 75.68% probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears.
