Sophia was selling tickets at the high school dance. At the end of the evening, she picked up the cash box and noticed a $5 bill

lying on the floor next to it. She said, I wonder whether the dollar belongs inside the cash box or not. The price of tickets for the dance was 1 ticket for $10 (for individuals) or 2 tickets for $15 (for couples). She looked inside the cash box and found $590 and ticket stubs for the 68 students in attendance. Does the $5 bill belong inside the cash box or not? Be sure to show all work and explain your reasoning using complete sentences.

The first thing we will do in this case is to define variables:
 x = number of individual tickets.
 y = number of tickets per couple.
 We have then that the system of equations that represents the problem is:
 10x + 15y = 590
 x + 2y = 68
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 32
 y = 18
 Substituting we have:
 10 (32) + 15 (18) = 590
 320 + 270 = 590
 590 = 590
 Equality is met, therefore the $ 5 bill belongs to the box.
 Answer:
 
the $ 5 bill belong inside the cash box

Victoria read a 160-page historical fiction novel followed by a science fiction novel of the exact same length. Her average read
postnew [5]

The answer is C: the average reading speed of the science fiction novel.

If x is her reading speed for the historical fiction novel, and her reading speed for the sci-fi novel is just two pages more than that of the historical fiction novel, then the equation to find out how fast she reads the science fiction novel would be x + 2, as you’re adding 2 to the reading speed of the historical fiction book (x)

A player of a video game is confronted with a series of four opponents and an 80% probability of defeating each opponent. Assume
mixer [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.4096

(b) 0.64

(c) 0.7942

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the player wins is,

P(W)=0.80

Then the probability that the player losses is,

P(L)=1-P(W)=1-0.80=0.20

The player is playing the video game with 4 different opponents.

It is provided that when the player is defeated by an opponent the game ends.

All the possible ways the player can win is: {L, WL, WWL, WWWL and WWWW)

(a)

The results from all the 4 opponents are independent, i.e. the result of a game played with one opponent is unaffected by the result of the game played with another opponent.

The probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is,

P (Player defeats all 4 opponents) = P(W)\times P(W)\times P(W)\times P(W)=[P(W)]^{4} =(0.80)^{4}=0.4096

Thus, the probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is 0.4096.

(b)

The probability that the player defeats at least two opponents in a game is,

P (Player defeats at least 2) = 1 - P (Player losses the 1st game) - P (Player losses the 2nd game) = 1-P(L)-P(WL)

                                    =1-(0.20)-(0.80\times0.20)\\=1-0.20-0.16\\=0.64

Thus, the probability that the player defeats at least two opponents in a game is 0.64.

(c)

Let <em>X</em> = number of times the player defeats all 4 opponents.

The probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is,

P(WWWW) = 0.4096.

Then the random variable X\sim Bin(n=3, p=0.4096)

The probability distribution of binomial is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x} (1-p)^{n-x}

The probability that the player defeats all the 4 opponents at least once is,

P (<em>X</em> ≥ 1) = 1 - P (<em>X</em> < 1)

             = 1 - P (<em>X</em> = 0)

             =1-[{3\choose 0}(0.4096)^{0} (1-0.4096)^{3-0}]\\=1-[1\times1\times (0.5904)^{3}\\=1-0.2058\\=0.7942

Thus, the probability that the player defeats all the 4 opponents at least once is 0.7942.

John made a small rectangular table for his workroom. If the sides of the table are 32 inches and 26 inches, what should the tab
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The table should measure diagonally about 41.23 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the diagonal of a rectangle we use the formula :

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

A and B both represent the side lengths of the rectangle, while C is the diagonal part. Knowing this formula, let's plug in the values for A and B and see what happens.

32^{2} + 26^{2} = c^{2}

1024 + 676 = c^{2}

1700 = c^{2}

The square root of 1700 is (rounded to the hundreth's place) = 41.23

Calculate the side lengths a and b to two decimal places
Talja [164]

Answer:

The answer is (D) ⇒ a = 11.71 , b = 15.56

Step-by-step explanation:

* In ΔABC

∵ m∠A = 45°

∵ m∠B = 110°

∴ m∠C = 180 - 45 - 110 = 25°

By using the sin Rule

∵ a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

∵ c = 7

∴ a/sin(45) = b/sin(110) = 7/sin(25)

∴ a = (7 × sin(45)) ÷ sin(25) = 11.71

∴ b = (7 × sin(110)) ÷ sin(25) = 15.56

∴ The answer is (D)

Trava [24]
Given:
5 bonds of face value of 1,000 that paid 5% annual interest rate.

5 bonds x 1,000 = 5,000
5,000 x 5% x 1 year = 250

The total annual interest income of James is 250. Each bond earns 50 per annum.
