Evaluate the following expression at x =-7 and y = - 6 <br> -4x + 8y

4) During a school carnival, students from the middle school raised money by selling crafts, food, game tickets, and school play

ioda

$225 was earned from the craft sales

and $40 was earned from the play.

Given, During a school carnival, students from the middle school raised money by selling crafts, food, game tickets, and school play admissions.

Of each dollar earned, $0.15 came from games. Craft sales earned 3 times as much as games. Food sales were 4 times the amount earned from the play.

Let the amount earned by play be x,

Now, Games earned = 0.15×500 = $75

Also, crafts earned 3×75 = $225

Now, as play earned x, then food earned 4x.

According to question,

x + 75 + 225 + 4x = 500

5x + 300 = 500

5x = 200

x = 40

So, the amount earned by Play be, $40

and the amount earned by Food be $160.

Hence, $225 was earned from the craft sales

and $40 was earned from the play.

Please please please help make sense of this

Nadya [2.5K]

The enclosed shape is that of a trapezoid. The area of a trapezoid is the product of the height of it (measured perpendicular to the parallel bases) and the average length of the two parallel bases. The formula is generally written ...

... A = (1/2)(b₁ + b₂)·h

Here, the base lengths are the y-coordinates at x=4 and x=9. The height is the distance between those two x-coordinates: 9 - 4 = 5.

You are expected to find the y-values at those two points, then use the formula for the area of the trapezoid.

You can save a little work if you realize that the average of the two base lengths is the y-coordinate corresponding to the average x-coordinate: (9+4)/2 = 6.5. That is you only need to find the y-coordinate for x=6.5 and do the area math as though you had a rectangle of that height and width 5.

Going that route, we have

... y = 2(6.5) - 1 = 13 - 1 = 12

Then the trapezoid's area is

... A = 12·5 = 60 . . . . square units.

Samir is an expert marksman. When he takes aim at a particular target on the shooting range, there is a 0.950.950, point, 95 pro

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them

Step-by-step explanation:

For each target, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he hits it, or he does not. The probability of hitting a target is independent of other targets. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
