Answer:
This states that the probability of the occurrence of two independent events is the product of their individual probabilities. The probability of getting two heads on two coin tosses is 0.5 x 0.5 or 0.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of getting 2 heads with 2 coins can be broken into 2 steps:
The first coin must show Heads AND
the second coin must show Heads.
p(h,h)= P(H) <----- and means multiply
P(H) x P(H)= 1/2 x 1/2 =1/4
Assign x to adult tickets and y to student tickets, then set up the system
5x+y=2465 and
x+y=1077
You can subtract the second equation from the first to get
4x=1388
=> x=347
Then to find y do 1077-347 to find
y=730
Final answer:
347 adult tickets and 730 student tickets were sold.
Hope I helped :)
If you have a problem like:
4x+2y=20
2x+2y=16
You would subtract
4x-2y=20
-2x+2y=16
You would get the new problum
2x=4
You now want to divide the 2 on both sides to solve for x
x=2
Now that you've solved for X you want to solve for y. So use substitution to solve for y. You would want to substatute the x for the 2 in either of the problums. I'll use the first one.
4(2)+2y=20
You first want to multiply te 4(2) you would get a new problum.
8+2y=20
Now you want to subtract the 8 on both sides.
2y=12
The last step to solve for y is to divide the 2 on both sides.
Y=6
So your answers would be
x=2
y=6
