20 points!! Solve this system of lineal equations.separate the x- and y- values with a comma

Zielflug [23.3K]

Solve the following system:{12 x = 54 - 6 y | (equation 1)-17 x = -6 y - 62 | (equation 2)
Express the system in standard form:{12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 1)-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)12 x + 6 y = 54 | (equation 2)
Add 12/17 × (equation 1) to equation 2:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+(174 y)/17 = 174/17 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 17/174:{-(17 x) + 6 y = -62 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 6 × (equation 2) from equation 1:{-(17 x)+0 y = -68 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by -17:{x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:Answer: {x = 4 {y = 1

Please note the { are supposed to span over both equations but it interfaces doesn't allow it. Please see attachment for clarification.

Suppose a basketball player has made 231 out of 361 free throws. If the player makes the next 2 free throws, I will pay you $31.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the player will make it, or he will miss it. The probability of a player making a free throw is independent of any other free throw, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Suppose a basketball player has made 231 out of 361 free throws.

This means that $p = \frac{231}{361} = 0.6399$

Probability of the player making the next 2 free throws:

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.6399)^{2}.(0.3601)^{0} = 0.4095$

Find the expected value of the proposition:

0.4095 probability of you paying $31(losing $31), which is when the player makes the next 2 free throws.

1 - 0.4059 = 0.5905 probability of you being paid $21(earning $21), which is when the player does not make the next 2 free throws. So

$E = -31*0.4095 + 21*0.5905 = -0.29$

The expected value of the proposition is of -0.29.

Kruka [31]

I might want to use the commutative property to change the order of the integers in the following sum before adding the given expression

"-80 + (-173)+(-20)"

As commutative property states that " Changing the order of addends does not change the sum" which means if we add 'a' to 'b' or 'b' to 'a', we will get the same answer.

Therefore, here if we add '-80' to '-173' or '-173' to '-80' , or if we add '-173' to '-20' or '-20' to '-173' , we will get the same answer.

Therefore, we might use commutative property to change the order the of integers in the following sum.
