Answer:
-20

Explanation:
Distribute first
-4x + 12 = -8
Subtract 12 on both sides
-4x +12 = -8
-12 -12
-4x = -20
Divide by -4 on both sides
-4x = -20
/-4 /-4
x = 5

According to the "January theory," if the stock market is up for the month of January, it will be up for the year. If it is down
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The required probability is 0.031918.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, this theory held for 22 out of the last 34 years.

Therefore n=34

The probability it is either up or down is 0.5.

Thus the value of p =0.5 and q = 0.5

Now calculate the probability

Let X is the number of years that theory held.

X has a binomial distribution with n=34 and p=0.5

P(X=22)=\binom{34}{22}(0.5)^{22}(0.5)^{12}\\P(X=22)=\frac{34!}{22!\times 12!}(0.5)^{22}(0.5)^{12}\\P(X=22)=548354040\times 5.8207660913\times 10^{11}\\P(X=22)=0.0319184060208\\P(X=22)\approx0.031918

Hence, the required probability is 0.031918.

The John Jay Theater Dept has tickets at $6 for adults, $4 for teachers, and $2 for students. A total of 280 tickets were sold f
OleMash [197]

Answer:

number of adults tickets sold = x = 90

number of teachers tickets = y = 45

number of students tickets = z = 145

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of tickets

Adults = $6

Teachers = $4

Students = $2

Total tickets sold = 280

Total revenue = $1010

Let

x = number of adults tickets

y = number of teachers tickets

z = number of students tickets

x + y + z = 280

6x + 4y + 2z = 1010

If the number of adult tickets sold was twice the number of teacher tickets

x = 2y

Substitute x=2y into the equations

x + y + z = 280

6x + 4y + 2z = 1010

2y + y + z = 280

6(2y) + 4y + 2z = 1010

3y + z = 280

12y + 4y + 2z = 1010

3y + z = 280 (1)

16y + 2z = 1010 (2)

Multiply (1) by 2

6y + 2z = 560 (3)

16y + 2z = 1010

Subtract (3) from (2)

16y - 6y = 1010 - 560

10y = 450

Divide both sides by 10

y = 450/10

= 45

y = 45

Substitute y=45 into (1)

3y + z = 280

3(45) + z = 280

135 + z = 280

z = 280 - 135

= 145

z = 145

Substitute the values of y and z into

x + y + z = 280

x + 45 + 145 = 280

x + 190 = 280

x = 280 - 190

= 90

x = 90

Therefore,

number of adults tickets sold = x = 90

number of teachers tickets = y = 45

number of students tickets = z = 145
