Answer:

c. 0.3421

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability of selecting the biased coin is shown below:

The probability of any coin selected is 1 ÷ 2

The probability in the case when the biased coin chosen & wins 1 ÷ 2 (1 - 0.74)

And, the win probability is 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.74) + 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.5)

Now the probability of biased or win is

=  {1 ÷ 2 (1 - 0.74)} ÷ { 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.74) + 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.5)}

= 0.13 ÷ 0.38

= 0.3421

Hence, the correct option is c. 0.3421

A 5000 seat theater has tickets for sale at 26 and 40. How many tickets should be sold at each price for a sellout performance t
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The number of tickets for sale at $26 should be 3300

The number of tickets for sale at $40 should be 1700

Step-by-step explanation:

Use 2 equations to represent the modifiers within the problem:

5000 = a + b \\ 153800 = 26a + 40b

Now you want to find the point at which the variables are changed to make both equations correct, this can be done by graphing and finding the intersection of both lines.

5000 = 3300 + 1700 \\ 153800 = 26(3300) + 40(1700)

Factor f(x) = 4x3 + 15x2 – 24x + 5 into linear factors given that - 5 is a zero of f(x).15f(x) = 4x3 + 15x2 - 24x + 5 =(Factor c
Basile [38]

If x=-5 is a zero, then the first factor of the polynomial would be (x + 5 )

To find the other two factors we can divide the polynomial by the expression (x+5).

Using synthetic division, we have:

-5 I 4 15 -24 5 (Coefficients of the dividend)

I -20 25 -5 (Multiplying each coefficient by the results of the substraction and adding)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 -5 1 0 (Coefficients of the quotient)

The result of the division is 4x^2 - 5x + 1. Factoring it, we have:

4x^2 - 4x -x + 1 (Separating -5x into -x and -4x)

4x (x - 1) - (x -1) (Factoring each pair of terms)

(x-1)(4x-1) (Factoring using the common factor)

So the answer would be:

(x + 5 )(x-1)(4x-1)
