Answer:

0.0403

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 76% of americans prefer coke to pepsi.

Let x be the number of people who prefers coke to pepsi.

X is binomial as each trial is independent, and there are only two outcomes.

A sample of 27 was taken.

We have to find the probability that  less than sixty percent of the sample prefers coke to pepsi

60% of 27 = 27(0.6) = 16.2

Required probability = P(X

Hence prob=0.0403

A. One day Annie weighed 24 ounces more than Benjie, and Benjie weighed 3 1/4 pounds less than Carmen. How did Annie’s and Carme
Debora [2.8K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A.

Let Annie's weight be = a

Let Benjie's weighs = b

Let Carmen's weight be = c

One day Annie weighed 24 ounces more than Benjie, equation forms:

a=b+24        ......(1)

Benjie weighed 3 1/4 pounds less than Carmen.  

In ounces:

1 pound = 16 ounces

\frac{13}{4} pounds = \frac{13}{4}\times16=52 ounces

b=c-52  or

c=b+52    ......(2)

Now adding (1) and (2), we get

a+b=b+24+c-52

=> a=c-28

This gives  Annie weighs 28 ounces less than Carmen.

B.

We cannot know anyone's actual weight, as we only know their relative weights.

The town librarian bought a combination of new-release movies on DVD for $20 and classic movies on DVD for $8. Let x represent t
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

x = 1, y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of new-releases (x) = $20 each

Value of classic (y) = $8 each

Total budget = $500

Equation : 20x + 8y = 500

The librarian wants to purchase maximum DVDs. She can get more DVDs of classic movies for $8 as they are less costly.

Lets assume the librarian buys at least one new-release DVD.

x=1

20x + 8y = 500

8y + 20(1) = 500

y = 60

<em>Therefore, in a budget of $500, the librarian can purchase 60 classic movies and 1 new-release.</em>
