Because the ratio for both candles is 20/60 or 1/3 then take the number of ounces the candle has and divide by 1/3. In expression: 9 / 1/3 => 9 * 3 = 18
Distribute:
(12n-12)5
60n-60 = A(n)
You can't really find what n is I don't think, because you have 2 unknown variables n and A(n).
Here you are. you can see my explication.
have fun
Answer:
dependent events since P(A and B) is not equal to P(A) * P(B)
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Question,
- Given, The probability that Jane will go to a ballgame (event A) on a Monday is 0.73, and the probability that Kate will go to a ballgame (event B) the same day is 0.61. The probability that Kate and Jane both go to the ballgame on Monday is 0.52.
Thus, The events A, B and A∩B are:
A - Jane will go to a ballgame on Monday;
B - Kate will go to a ballgame on Monday;
A∩B - Kate and Jane both go to the ballgame on Monday.
- P(A)=0.73, P(B)=0.61, P(A∩B)=0.52.
- Pr(A)⋅Pr(B) = 0.73⋅0.61 = 0.4453 ≠ 0.52
So, events A and B are dependent events since P(A and B) is not equal to P(A) * P(B)
Let's set up some simultaneous equations. Let the number of nickels be n, and the number of quarters be q. Now I'm from England so I had to look up the value of a nickel (I could guess the quarter though to be 25c), but apparently it's 5c
Okay we know that the total value of the coins is 150. This gives:
25q + 5n = 150
Rearranging to make n the subject:
n = 30 - 5q
Next, we use the second statement:
n = 2q - 5
Substituting this into the first equation:
2q - 5 = 30 - 5q
7q = 35
q = 5
Putting this value for q into the first equation:
n = 30 - 5(5) = 5
Hence he has 5 of each coin. I hope this helps :)
