Alex73 [517]

Answer:

286 students attended

148 non students attended

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Tickets = 434$

$Students = \$4.00$

$Non-Students = \$6.00$

$Total = \$2032.00$

Solving (a): Number of students

Represent students with S and non students with N

So:

$S + N = 434$ --- (1)

$4S + 6N = 2032$ --- (2)

Make N the subject of formula in (1)

$N = 434 - S$

Substitute 434 - S for N in (2)

$4S +6(434 - S) = 2032$

Open Bracket

$4S + 2604 - 6S = 2032$

Collect Like Terms

$4S - 6S = 2032 - 2604$

$-2S = -572$

Divide through by -2

$S = 286$

<em>Hence; 286 students attended</em>

Solving (b):

Recall that

$N = 434 - S$

$N = 434 - 286$

$N = 148$

<em>148 non students attended</em>

Mrs. Terrace cut a small birthday cake into 6 equal pieces for 6 children. One child was not hungry, so she gave the birthday bo

ELEN [110]

Missing part of question:

Draw a tape diagram to show how much cake each of the five children received.

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Equal\ Pieces = 6$

$Children = 5$

Required

Tape diagram to represent the scenario

Because one child is not hungry, the number of children to share the cake becomes 6.

So, first we calculate the share of each child.

$Share = \frac{Pieces}{Children}$

$Share = \frac{6}{5}$

$Share = 1.2$

See attachment for tape diagram

The tape diagram implies that:

$5 * 1.2 = 6$

or

$\frac{6}{1.2} = 5$

or

$\frac{6}{5} = 1.2$

The mailing list of an agency that markets scuba-diving trips to the Florida Keys contains 78% males and 22% females. The agency

choli [55]

Answer:

a) 0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

b) 3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person chosen by the agency, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a man, or it is a woman. The probability of selecting a man or a women in each trial is independent from other trials. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

(a) What is the probability that 17 of the 29 people are men?

This is P(X = 17) when $n = 29, p = 0.78$ . So

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

$P(X = 17) = C_{29,17}.(0.78)^{17}.(0.22)^{12} = 0.0098$

0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

(b) What is the probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call?

On the first 7 trials, all men, each with a 78% probability.

On the 8th trial, a women, with a 22% probability. So

$P = (0.78)^{7}*0.22 = 0.0386$

3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

How do you know what to split 26 into ?

madam [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you are factoring the expression

Given

4y² + 26y + 30 ← factor out 2 from each term

= 2(2y² + 13y + 15) ← factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term.

product = 2 × 15 = 30 and sum = 13

the factors are 10 and 3

Use these factors to split the y- term

2y² + 10y + 3y + 15 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2y(y + 5) + 3(y + 5) ← factor out (y + 5) from each term

= (y + 5)(2y + 3)

Thus

4y² + 26y + 30

= 2(y + 5)(2y + 3)
