Answer:

40x - 15y

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property:

5(8x) - 5(3y) =

40x - 15y

Murljashka [212]

You basically want to write the total number of people using x and y for children and adults, and then write the cost function using the values you know for the ticket prices. next, you want to want to rearrange your total people equation so that you can write either x in terms of y or y in terms of x. finally, you can plug that into your cost equation and solve. (you then use the rearranged total people equation to solve for the other variable).

hope this helps :)

Mkey [24]

Answer:

(a) Probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw is 0.2061.

(b) Probability that exactly 4 will withdraw is 0.2182.

(c) Probability that more than 3 will withdraw is 0.5886.

(d) The expected number of withdrawals is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a university found that 20% of its students withdraw without completing the introductory statistics course.

Assume that 20 students registered for the course.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

$P(X =r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r};x=0,1,2,3,......$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 20 students

r = number of success

p = probability of success which in our question is probability

that students withdraw without completing the introductory

statistics course, i.e; p = 20%

Let X = Number of students withdraw without completing the introductory statistics course

So, X ~ Binom(n = 20 , p = 0.20)

(a) Probability that 2 or fewer will withdraw is given by = P(X $\leq$ 2)

P(X $\leq$ 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

= $\binom{20}{0} \times 0.20^{0} \times (1-0.20)^{20-0}+ \binom{20}{1} \times 0.20^{1} \times (1-0.20)^{20-1}+ \binom{20}{2} \times 0.20^{2} \times (1-0.20)^{20-2}$

= $1 \times1 \times 0.80^{20}+ 20 \times 0.20^{1} \times 0.80^{19}+ 190\times 0.20^{2} \times 0.80^{18}$

= 0.2061

(b) Probability that exactly 4 will withdraw is given by = P(X = 4)

P(X = 4) = $\binom{20}{4} \times 0.20^{4} \times (1-0.20)^{20-4}$

= $4845\times 0.20^{4} \times 0.80^{16}$

= 0.2182

(c) Probability that more than 3 will withdraw is given by = P(X > 3)

P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X $\leq$ 3) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1) - P(X = 2) - P(X = 3)

= $1-(\binom{20}{0} \times 0.20^{0} \times (1-0.20)^{20-0}+ \binom{20}{1} \times 0.20^{1} \times (1-0.20)^{20-1}+ \binom{20}{2} \times 0.20^{2} \times (1-0.20)^{20-2}+\binom{20}{3} \times 0.20^{3} \times (1-0.20)^{20-3})$
