Joe bought 5 apples and 4 bananas for $6. Dawn bought 3 apples and 6 bananas for $6.30. How much foes each apple and each banana

zepelin [54]

Answer:

Apple = $0.6

Banana = $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent Apple by A and Banana by B

For Joe,

5A + 4B = 6 (1)

For Dawn

3A + 6B = 6.3 (2)

To eliminate A, Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5

15A + 12B = 18 (3)

15A + 30B = 31.5 (4)

subtracting equation (4) from (3)

15A - 15A +12B - 30B = 18 - 31.5

-18B = -13.5

divide through by -18

-18B/-18 = -13.5/-18

B = 0.75

substitute 0.75 in equation (1)

5A + 4B = 6

5A + 4(0.75) = 6

5A + 3 = 6

subtract 3 from both sides

5A + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3

5A = 3

divide through by 5

5A/5 = 3/5

A = 0.6

Which of the following behaviors would best describe someone who is listening and paying attention? a) Leaning toward the speake

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you ask questions while their speaking it shows that you are paying attention to them. Avoiding eye contact could mean your thinking about something else or you aren't interested. Interrupting them is just being disrespectful. Leaning towards them doesn't really do anything other than you moving.

At a specific point on a highway, vehicles arrive according to a Poisson process. Vehicles are counted in 12 second intervals, a

morpeh [17]

Answer: a) 4.6798, and b) 19.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

P(n) = $\dfrac{15}{120}=0.125$

As we know the poisson process, we get that

$P(n)=\dfrac{(\lambda t)^n\times e^{-\lambda t}}{n!}\\\\P(n=0)=0.125=\dfrac{(\lambda \times 14)^0\times e^{-14\lambda}}{0!}\\\\0.125=e^{-14\lambda}\\\\\ln 0.125=-14\lambda\\\\-2.079=-14\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{2.079}{14}\\\\0.1485=\lambda$

So, for exactly one car would be

P(n=1) is given by

$=\dfrac{(0.1485\times 14)^1\times e^{-0.1485\times 14}}{1!}\\\\=0.2599$

Hence, our required probability is 0.2599.

a. Approximate the number of these intervals in which exactly one car arrives

Number of these intervals in which exactly one car arrives is given by

$0.2599\times 18=4.6798$

We will find the traffic flow q such that

$P(0)=e^{\frac{-qt}{3600}}\\\\0.125=e^{\frac{-18q}{3600}}\\\\0.125=e^{-0.005q}\\\\\ln 0.125=-0.005q\\\\-2.079=-0.005q\\\\q=\dfrac{-2.079}{-0.005}=415.88\ veh/hr$

b. Estimate the percentage of time headways that will be 14 seconds or greater.

so, it becomes,

$P(h\geq 14)=e^{\frac{-qt}{3600}}\\\\P(h\geq 14)=e^{\frac{-415.88\times 14}{3600}}\\\\P(h\geq 14)=0.198\\\\P(h\geq 14)=19.8\%$

Hence, a) 4.6798, and b) 19.8%.

Kris wanted to understand whether students at her school were in favor of an extended school day. She surveyed some students and

puteri [66]

the table below:

Grade In favor Opposed Undecided Total

Grade 9 6 4 8 18

Grade 10 10 11 9 30

Grade 11 12 15 11 38

Grade 12 15 6 14 35

If the principal randomly selects a student in grade 10 from this survey,

the probability that the student is opposed to extending the school day

P ( student in grade 10 is opposed)= Number of student in opposed(grade10) / total number of students in grade 10

Number of student opposed who is in grade10 = 11

total number of students in grade 10 = 30

P( student in grade 10 is opposed)= $\frac{11}{30}$

= 0.37

the probability that the student is opposed to extending the school day= 0.37
