Answer:
x = number of bicycles = 35
y = number of cars = 55
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of bicycles
y = number of cars
x + y = 80 (1)
2x + 4y = 270 (2)
From (1)
x = 80 - y
Substitute x = 80 - y into (2)
2x + 4y = 270 (2)
2(80 - y) + 4y = 270
160 - 2y + 4y = 270
- 2y + 4y = 270 - 160
2y = 110
y = 110/2
y = 55
Substitute y = 55 into (1)
x + y = 80 (1)
x + 55 = 80
x = 80 - 55
x = 35
x = number of bicycles = 35
y = number of cars = 55
Answer:
A. 64/125
B. 124/125.
Step-by-step explanation:
A). As the events ( germinate or not germinate) are independent we multiply the probabilities.
Prob(All seeds germinate) = 4/5*4/5*4/5 = 64/125.
B). Probability of at least one germinating = 1 - probability that none germinate
Probability of 1 seed not germinating = 1 -45 = 1/5.
So Prob(at least one germinating)
= 1 - (1/5 * 1/5 * 1/5)
= 1 - 1/125
= 124/125.
