Let x be the number of children and t, the number of adults.
x + y =153
5.2x + 8.4y = 1013.2
Solving those equation will give:
x = 85 tickets sold to the kids ( and 68 tickets for adults)
D is the answer because if you calculate the answer correctly. that will be so.
Answer:
A darts player practices throwing a dart at the bull’s eye on a dart board. Her probability of hitting the bull’s eye for each throw is 0.2.
(a) Find the probability that she is successful for the first time on the third throw:
The number F of unsuccessful throws till the first bull’s eye follows a geometric
distribution with probability of success q = 0.2 and probability of failure p = 0.8.
If the first bull’s eye is on the third throw, there must be two failures:
P(F = 2) = p
2
q = (0.8)2
(0.2) = 0.128.
(b) Find the probability that she will have at least three failures before her first
success.
We want the probability of F ≥ 3. This can be found in two ways:
P(F ≥ 3) = P(F = 3) + P(F = 4) + P(F = 5) + P(F = 6) + . . .
= p

Alternatively,
P(F ≥ 3) = 1 − (P(F = 0) + P(F = 1) + P(F = 2))
= 1 − (q + pq + p

q)
= 1 − (0.2)(1 + 0.8 + (0.8)2
)
= 1 − 0.488 = 0.512.
(c) How many throws on average will fail before she hits bull’s eye?
Since p = 0.8 and q = 0.2, the expected number of failures before the first success
is
E[F] = p

8000/ 2 = x/16
cross multiply
2x = 8000 * 16
2x = 128000
x = 128000/2
x = 64000 crocus flowers
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Form the information given, we can deduce that:
m<OPQ is an exterior angle of ∆NOP = (6x - 15)°
m<PNO = (2x + 18)° and m<NOP = (2x - 13)° are both interior angles that are opposite to the exterior angle.
Therefore, based on the exterior angle theorem:
m<OPQ = m<PNO + m<NOP
(6x - 15)° = (2x + 18)° + (2x - 13)°
Solve for x
6x - 15 = 2x + 18 + 2x - 13
6x - 15 = 4x + 5
6x - 15 - 4x = 4x + 5 - 4x (Subtraction property of equality)
2x - 15 = 5
2x - 15 + 15 = 5 + 15 (addition property of equality)
2x = 20
2x/2 = 20/2 (division property of equality)
x = 10
