Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of dime rolls and y be the number of nickels rolls.

Each dime roll has 50 dimes, then x dime rolls are worth 50\cdot 10\cdot x=500x cents or $5x.

Each nickel roll has 40 nickels, then y nickel rolls are worth 40\cdot 5\cdot y =200y cents or $2y.

A. The total value of Alysha's rolls is

\$(5x+2y)

or

500x+200y\ \text{cents}

B. If the total value of the coins is $71 and she has 9 rolls of dimes, then x = 9 and

5\cdot 9+2y=71\\ \\2y+45=71\\ \\2y=71-45\\ \\2y=26\\ \\y=13

Alysha has 13 nickel rolls.

Jaxson and his children went into a movie theater and he bought $42.50 worth of drinks and candies. Each drink costs $6 and each
sattari [20]

Answer:

6x + 3.25y = 42.50

x + y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the amount of drinks, and y represents the amount of candies that are bought. The first equation is used to figure out the amount of candies and drinks needed to be bought to add up to 42.50, and the second equation is used to make sure that the quantity of drinks and candies add up to 8.

A quality control engineer tests the quality of produced computers. suppose that 5% of computers have defects, and defects occur
11111nata11111 [884]
(a) 0.059582148 probability of exactly 3 defective out of 20

 (b) 0.98598125 probability that at least 5 need to be tested to find 2 defective.

  (a) For exactly 3 defective computers, we need to find the calculate the probability of 3 defective computers with 17 good computers, and then multiply by the number of ways we could arrange those computers. So

 0.05^3 * (1 - 0.05)^(20-3) * 20! / (3!(20-3)!)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20! / (3!17!)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*18*17! / (3!17!)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*18 / (1*2*3)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*(2*3*3) / (2*3)

 = 0.05^3 * 0.95^17 * 20*19*3

 = 0.000125* 0.418120335 * 1140

 = 0.059582148

  (b) For this problem, let's recast the problem into "What's the probability of having only 0 or 1 defective computers out of 4?" After all, if at most 1 defective computers have been found, then a fifth computer would need to be tested in order to attempt to find another defective computer. So the probability of getting 0 defective computers out of 4 is (1-0.05)^4 = 0.95^4 = 0.81450625.

 The probability of getting exactly 1 defective computer out of 4 is 0.05*(1-0.05)^3*4!/(1!(4-1)!)

 = 0.05*0.95^3*24/(1!3!)

 = 0.05*0.857375*24/6

 = 0.171475

 
 So the probability of getting only 0 or 1 defective computers out of the 1st 4 is 0.81450625 + 0.171475 = 0.98598125 which is also the probability that at least 5 computers need to be tested.
