Answer: Choice A. (8, 4)
==========================================================
Explanation:
Because x = 2y, we can replace every copy of x with 2y
Let's do so in the second equation
3x - 4y = 8
3(x) - 4y = 8
3(2y) - 4y = 8 .... x replaced with 2y; now let's isolate y
6y - 4y = 8
2y = 8
y = 8/2 ..... divide both sides by 2
y = 4
Use this y value to find x
x = 2y
x = 2*4
x = 8
So we have x = 8 and y = 4 pair together to get the answer (x,y) = (8, 4) which is choice A.
What we know:
1/6 = what Cody wathed
1 stands for the unit that cody has watched a move (minutes)
6 = stands for the entire length of the movie (minutes)
Tharefore: If 6 stands for the entire length of the movie the movie is equal to 3 hours. However we are giving the unit in minutes not in hours, it would be:
3 x 60 = 3 stands for the ours 60 stands for minutes in an hour. That equals to 180.
This means that the 6 = 100% = 180min of the movie.
To figure what 1 stands for we need to divide 1/6. That will equal to 0.1(6). 0.1(6) x 180 (minutes of the entire movie) = 30 which would be the answer. Here is what you should have done using mathematical communication:
converting 3 h to minutes:
3 x 60 = 180 minutes
180 = the length of the entire movie
1/6 = 0.1(6)
0.1(6) x 180 = 30
... 30 /180 is the fraction of minutes that Cody spend watching the movie
in other words Cody just spent 30 min watching the movie.
Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0002 = 0.02% probability that exactly 6 patients will die.
<h3>What is the hypergeometric distribution formula?</h3>
The formula is:
The parameters are:
- x is the number of successes.
- N is the size of the population.
- n is the size of the sample.
- k is the total number of desired outcomes.
The values of the parameters for this problem are:
N = 25, k = 6, n = 8.
The probability that exactly 6 patients will die is P(X = 6), hence:
0.0002 = 0.02% probability that exactly 6 patients will die.
