Mr. Martin is giving a math test next period. The test, which is worth 100 points, has 29 problems. Each problem is worth either

5 points or 2 points. Write a system of equations that can be used to find how many problems of each point value are on the test. Let x be the number of questions worth 5 points and let y be the number of questions worth 2 points.
a. x + y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100
b. x + y = 100, 5x + 2y = 29
c. 5x + y = 29, 2y + x = 100
d. 2x + y = 100, 5y + x = 29

Answer:

A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the second sentence , we can deduce that the total number of problems is 29.

Now, x represents the number of problems that award 5 marks, while y represents the number of problems that award 2 marks.

Hence x + y = 29.

There are a total of 100 marks. This mean each x has a mark of 5, so total x marks equal 5x. Also, each y has a mark of 2. total y marks equal 2y. Since total marks equal 100. This mean 5x + 2y = 100 which gives our second equation.

This shows A is correct.

A. The average yearly salary of a lawyer is $24 thousand less than twice that of an architect.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The average yearly salary of  the architect is <u>$62,000</u> and the lawyer is <u>$100,000</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The average yearly salary of a lawyer is $24 thousand less than twice that of an architect.

Combined, an architect and a lawyer earn $ 210 thousand.

Now, to find the average yearly salary of  an architect and a lawyer.

Let the average yearly salary of  an architect be x.

So, the average yearly salary of  the lawyer = 2x-24,000.

Combined, architect and lawyer earn = \$210,000.

Now, to get the average salary of the architect and lawyer:

x+(2x-24000)=210000

x+2x-24000=210000\\\\3x-24000=210000

<em>Adding both sides 24000 we get:</em>

3x=186,000\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\ we\ get:\\\\x=62000.

<u>The average salary of architect = $62,000.</u>

Now, to get the average salary of lawyer by substituting the value of x:

2x-24000\\\\=2(62000)-24000\\\\=124000-24000\\\\=\$100,000.

<u>The average salary of lawyer = $100,000.</u>

Therefore, the average yearly salary of  the architect is $62,000 and the lawyer is $100,000.

The tables represent two linear functions in a system.<br><br> What is the solution to this system?
Darya [45]

The solution to this system is (x, y) = (8, -22).

The y-values get closer together by 2 units for each 2-unit increase in x. The difference at x=2 is 6, so we expect the difference in y-values to be zero when we increase x by 6 (from 2 to 8).

You can extend each table after the same pattern.

In table 1, x-values increase by 2 and y-values decrease by 8.

In table 2, x-values increase by 2 and y-values decrease by 6.

The attachment shows the tables extended to x=10. We note that the y-values are the same (-22) for x=8 (as we predicted above). That means the solution is ...

... (x, y) = (8, -22)

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$62.60

Step-by-step explanation:

C(190) = 22 + 0.1*190 = 22 + 19 = $41

C(406) = 22 + 0.1*406 = 22+40.6 = $62.60

Suppose that only 20% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions whe
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

a) 91.33% probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop

b) 10.91% probability that exactly 6 will come to a complete stop.

c) 19.58% probability that at least 6 will come to a complete stop

d) 4 of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will come to a complete stop, or they will not. The probability of a driver coming to a complete stop is independent of other drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions when no other cars are visible.

This means that p = 0.2

20 drivers

This means that n = 20

a. at most 6 will come to a complete stop?

P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{20} = 0.0115

P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{19} = 0.0576

P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{18} = 0.1369

P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{17} = 0.2054

P(X = 4) = C_{20,4}.(0.2)^{4}.(0.8)^{16} = 0.2182

P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{15} = 0.1746

P(X = 6) = C_{20,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.1091

P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0115 + 0.0576 + 0.1369 + 0.2054 + 0.2182 + 0.1746 + 0.1091 = 0.9133

91.33% probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop

b. Exactly 6 will come to a complete stop?

P(X = 6) = C_{20,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.1091

10.91% probability that exactly 6 will come to a complete stop.

c. At least 6 will come to a complete stop?

Either less than 6 will come to a complete stop, or at least 6 will. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X < 6) + P(X \geq 6) = 1

We want P(X \geq 6). So

P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6)

In which

P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0115 + 0.0576 + 0.1369 + 0.2054 + 0.2182 + 0.1746 = 0.8042

P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6) = 1 - 0.8042 = 0.1958

19.58% probability that at least 6 will come to a complete stop

d. How many of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop?

The expected value of the binomial distribution is

E(X) = np = 20*0.2 = 4

4 of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop
