Probability refers to possibility. A random event's occurrence is the subject of this area of mathematics. The range of the value is 0 to 1. Mathematics has incorporated probability to forecast the likelihood of various events. The degree to which something is likely to happen is basically what probability means. You will understand the potential outcomes for a random experiment using this fundamental theory of probability, which is also applied to the probability distribution. Probability is a way to gauge how likely something is to happen. Many things are difficult to forecast with absolute confidence. Using it, we can only make predictions about the likelihood of an event happening, or how likely it is.

Answer:

  (-12, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to solve by elimination the system of equations ...

The point of elimination is to make one of the variables disappear from the equation.

Here, we observe that the x-coefficients are opposites in the two equations. When we add them, the result is 0: the x-term disappears. Adding the two equations, we have ...

  (2x +4y) +(-2x -3y) = (16) +(-6)

  y = 10 . . . . . . . . simplified

Using this value for y, we can find x. Substituting into the first equation gives ...

  2x +4(10) = 16

  2x = 16 -40 = -24 . . . . . subtract 40 and simplify

  x = -12 . . . . divide by 2

The ordered pair that is the solution is (x, y) = (-12, 10).

The probability of more than 5 people is 0.4729

Since 49% of the people in a community use the emergency room at a hospital in one year, a sample of 11 people use the emergency room. To find the probability of more than 5 people use the emergency room, we use binomial probability.

The binomial probability of x is given by  P(X = x) = ⁿCₓpˣ(1 - p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

where

Since

We determine the probability of x ≤ 5.

So, P(X ≤ 5) = ¹¹C₀p⁰(1 - p)¹¹⁻⁰ + ¹¹C₁p¹(1 - p)¹¹⁻¹ + ¹¹C₂p²(1 - p)¹¹⁻² + ¹¹C₃p³(1 - p)¹¹⁻³

+ + ¹¹C₄p²(1 - p)¹¹⁻⁴ + ¹¹C₅p⁵(1 - p)¹¹⁻⁵

= ¹¹C₀(0.49)⁰(1 - 0.49)¹¹ + ¹¹C₁(0.49)¹(1 - 0.49)¹⁰ + ¹¹C₂(0.49)²(1 - 0.49)⁹ + ¹¹C₃(0.49)³(1 - 0.49)⁸

+ ¹¹C₄(0.49)⁴(1 - p)⁷ + ¹¹C₅(0.49)⁵(1 - 0.49)⁶

= (1)(1)(0.51)¹¹ + (11)(0.49)(0.51)¹⁰ + (55)(0.49)²(0.51)⁹ + (165)(0.49)³(0.51)⁸

+ (330)(0.49)⁴(0.51)⁷ + (462)(0.49)⁵(0.51)⁶

= 0.0006071 + (11)(0.49)(0.0011904) + (55)(0.2401)(0.0023341) + (165)(0.117649)(0.0045768)

+ (330)(0.0576480)(0.0089741) + (462)(0.0282475)(0.0175963)

Yes, Dan productivity is constant and slope is given as 3/2.

What is slope?

The slope of a line is also called its gradient or rate of change. The slope formula is the vertical change in y divided by the horizontal change in x, sometimes called rise over run. The slope formula uses two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), to calculate the change in y over the change in x.

Let we take one pair of point (4,6) and (2,3) and other pair of point is (6,9) and (0,0)

The slope between  (4,6) and (2,3)  is

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 3-6/2-4

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms yields always the same result, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by the rule presented as follows:

[tex]a_n = a_1q^{n-1}[/tex]

In which [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term.

The rule for the nth term is also called the general rule.

The general takes the first term as the reference term, however, the 7th term can be written as a function of the 3rd term, as follows:

[tex]a_7 = a_3q^{4}[/tex]

The fraction that represents the mixed number 3 and 5/8 is:

(3 x 8 + 5)/8 = 29/8.

Then the common ratio of the sequence is calculated as follows:

[tex]\frac{29}{8} = 18q^{4}[/tex]

[tex]q^4 = \frac{29}{144}[/tex]

[tex]q = \sqrt[4]{\frac{29}{144}}[/tex]

[tex]q = \left(\frac{29}{144}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]

q = 0.67.

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

a)

Let the number of children be = a

Let the number of adults be = b

Let the total number of people in the theater be = 140

Now , the equation will be

a + b = 140   equation (1)

And , the number of children present is 3 times the number of adults

So ,

a = 3b

Divide by 3 on both sides of the equation , we get

b = a/3

Substituting the value of b in equation (1) , we get

a + b = 140

a + a/3 = 140

( 4a ) / 3 = 140

Multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation , we get

4a = 420

Divide by 4 on both sides of the equation , we get

a = 105

Therefore , the value of a is 105 and the number of children watching the movie is 105 children

b)

Let the number of cooks be = x

Let the number of waiters be = y

Let the amount for each cook be = $ 85

Let the amount for each waiter be = $ 45

The total number of workers = 10

Now , the equation will be

x + y = 10   be equation (1)

The total amount paid to the employees be = $ 570

Now , the equation will be

85x + 45y = 570   be equation (2)

On simplifying equation (1) and equation (2) , we get

Multiply equation (1) by 45 , we get

45x + 45y = 450   be equation (3)

Subtract equation (3) from equation (2) , we get

40x = 120

Divide by 3 on both sides of the equation , we get

x = 3

Therefore , the value of x is 3 and the number of cooks that worked in the event is 3 cooks

Hence ,

a) The total number of children watching the movie is 105 children

b) The total number of cooks that worked at the event is 3 cooks

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{39786.15}{36000}= e^{2.5r}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf \ln \left(\dfrac{39786.15}{36000}\right)=\ln e^{2.5r}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf \ln \left(\dfrac{39786.15}{36000}\right)=2.5r[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{1}{2.5}\ln \left(\dfrac{39786.15}{36000}\right)=r[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf r=\dfrac{2}{5}\ln \left(\dfrac{39786.15}{36000}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf r=0.03999996933...[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf r=0.04\;(2\;d.p.)[/tex]

Therefore, the annual interest rate is 0.04 = 4%.

To calculate how many years it will take for $36,000 to grow to $51,806.67, substitute the values into the formula and solve for t:

[tex]\implies \sf 51806.67=36000 \cdot e^{0.04t}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{51806.67}{36000}= e^{0.04t}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf \ln\left(\dfrac{51806.67}{36000}\right)= \ln e^{0.04t}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf \ln\left(\dfrac{51806.67}{36000}\right)= 0.04t[/tex]

[tex]\implies \sf \dfrac{\ln\left(\dfrac{51806.67}{36000}\right)}{0.04}=t[/tex]
