x= morning

y = afternoon

 x + y = 10

x=10-y

5x + 6y =57

5(10-y) +6y =57

50-5y +6y =57

y=7

x=10-7 =3

 check 3*5 = 15, 7*6 = 42, 42 + 15 = 57


3 morning practices

Harman [31]
We are looking for the probability :
P(X > n)=0.05
Transform the law to standard normal like this:
P(\dfrac{X-545}{100}> \dfrac{n-545}{100})=0.05
The above formula is equivalent to this one:
P(\dfrac{X-545}{100}< \dfrac{n-545}{100})=0.95
From normal law table, we read the value of \dfrac{X-545}{100}.
\dfrac{X-545}{100}=1.7
Solving the above equation for the score n:
X-545=170
X=715, it is the score we are looking for.

Six teachers and 12 students volunteer for a committee to discuss extra-curricular activities. How many committees of 5 people c
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

a)X=3300

b)Y=7770

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number Teachers T=6

Number Student S=12

Number in committee n=5

a) Generally the equation for exactly 3 students on the committee is mathematically given by

X=^{S}C_3*^{T}C_3

X=^{12}C_3*^{6}C_3

X=3300

b) Generally the equation for at least one teacher and at least one student on the committee is mathematically given by

Total Ways-(no of ways of selection no teacher or student)

Where total Ways

T=^{(6+12)}C_5

T=8568

Therefore

Y=8568-^{6}C_0*^{12}C_5+^{12}C_0*^{6}C_5

Y=8568-798

Y=7770

Four people - Roger, Gail, Simon, and Lisa, - enter their names into a drawing. The winner receives a sweater, hat, or scarf. Th
Finger [1]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a student winning is 1/4.

The probability of a prize being selected is 1/3.

The probability of Gail winning a scarf is 1/4 × 1/3 = 1/12.

The probability of Simon winning is 1/4.

The probability of either is 1/12 + 1/4 = 1/3.

Gus has skydived four more times than Niko Emma has skydive twice as many times as Nico if Emma has skydived 16 times, how many
ad-work [718]

Answer: Gus skydived 32 times

Step-by-step explanation:

G = number of times that Gus skydives

N = number of times that Nico skydives

E= number of times that Emma skydives

Gus skydives 4 times as much as Nick

This means G = 4N

Emma skydives 2 times as much as Nick.

This means E= 2N

If Emma has skydived 16 times,

That means E = 16

Put E = 16 in E= 2N,

16 =2N

N= 16/2 = 8

Put N= 8 in G = 4N

G =4×8 = 32

Gus skydived 32 times

Check

Nick skydived 8 times

Emma skydived 16 times
