The books have been sorted into fiction and nonfiction. The number of fiction books is 5 less than 4 times the number of nonfiction books. The books are 70% fiction. Choose the equation that best represents this scenario.
x over quantity 4 times x minus 5 end quantity equals 30 over 100
x over quantity 4 times x minus 5 end quantity equals 30 over 70
The number of fiction books are 7 and number of non fiction books are 3 respectively
let
number of fiction books = x
number of non fiction books = y
x = 4y - 5
Total books = z
x = 70% of z
y = 30% of z
x + y = z
4y - 5 + 30%(z) = z
4y - 5 + 0.3z = z
4y - 5 = z - 0.3z
4y - 5 = 0.7x
4y - 5 = 0.7z
4(0.3z) - 5 = 0.7z
1.2z - 5 = 0.7z
-5 = 0.7z - 1.2z
-5 = - 0.5z
z = -5/-0.5
z = 10
Therefore,
the number of non fiction = 30% of z
= 0.3 × 10
= 3
number of fiction = 70% of z
= 0.7 × 10
= 7

2. Suppose that you are looking for a student at your college who lives within five miles of you. You know that 55% of the 25,000 students do live within five miles of you. You randomly contact students from the college until one says he or she lives within five miles of you.
(a) What is the probability that you need to contact four people?
(b) How many students from the college you expect to contact until you find one lives within five miles of you?
(C) What is the standard deviation of the number of students to be contacted until one says who lives within five miles of you?
(d) Suppose you randomly ask 5 students at your college, what is the probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you?
(e) Suppose you randomly ask 5 students at your college, what is the expected number of students who live within five miles of you?
How to do this five questions ? thanks
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:
a) There is a 0.0501 = 5.01% probability that you need to contact four people.
b) You expect to contact 1.82 students until you find one who lives within five miles of you.
c) The standard deviation is of 1.22 students.
d) There is a 0.3369 = 33.69% probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you.
e) It is expected that 2.75 students live within five miles of you.
For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they live within 5 miles of you, or they do not. The probability of a student living within 5 miles of you is independent of any other student, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
The parameters are:
x is the number of successes.n is the number of trials.p is the probability of a success on a single trial.In this problem:
55% of the students live within five miles of you, thus [tex]p = 0.55[/tex].Item a:
This probability is P(X = 0) when n = 3(none of the first three living within five miles of you) multiplied by 0.55(the fourth does live within five miles), hence:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.55)^{0}.(0.45)^{3} = 0.091125[/tex]
[tex]p = 0.091125(0.55) = 0.0501[/tex]
0.0501 = 5.01% probability that you need to contact four people.
Item b:
The expected number of trials in the binomial distribution until q successes is given by:
[tex]E = \frac{q}{p}[/tex]
In this problem, [tex]p = 0.55[/tex], and 1 trial, thus [tex]q = 1[/tex], hence:
[tex]E = \frac{1}{0.55} = 1.82[/tex]
You expect to contact 1.82 students until you find one who lives within five miles of you.
Item c:
The standard deviation of the number of trials until q successes are found is given by:
[tex]S = \frac{\sqrt{q(1 - p)}}{p}[/tex]
Hence, since [tex]q = 1, p = 0.55[/tex]:
[tex]S = \frac{\sqrt{0.45}}{0.55} = 1.22[/tex]
The standard deviation is of 1.22 students.
Item d:
This probability is [tex]P(X = 3)[/tex] when [tex]n = 5[/tex], hence:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.55)^{3}.(0.45)^{2} = 0.3369[/tex]
There is a 0.3369 = 33.69% probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you.
Item e:
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
Hence, since [tex]n = 5, p = 0.55[/tex]:
[tex]E(X) = 5(0.55) = 2,75[/tex]
It is expected that 2.75 students live within five miles of you.

The table below shows the size of the graduating classes for to high schools.

Step-by-step explanation:
Adams high school Butler High school
628, 625, 622, 619, 616, 613, 436, 449, 462, 475, 488, 501
common difference = 625 - 628 = -3 common difference = 449-436 = 13
we can continue series like this
613 - 3 = 610 [2011] 501 + 13 = 514
610 - 3 = 607 [2012] 514 + 13 = 527
607 - 3 = 604 [2013] 527 + 13 = 540
604 - 3 = 601 [2014] 540 + 13 = 553
601 - 3 = 598 [2015] 553 + 13 = 566
598 - 3 = 595 [2016] 566 + 13 = 579
595 - 3 = 592 [2017] 579 + 13 = 592
I assume when they will become equal

A grocery store sells bananas for $0.59 per pound. On Wednesdays, the store offers a 10% discount to senior citizens. Create a function f(x) which models the amount, in dollars, a senior citizen would pay for x pounds of bananas on a Wednesday.
Answer:
f(x)= 0.90(0.59x)
Step-by-step explanation:
The 10% discount will make it so the senior citizens will pay 90% of the price. 90%=0.90
Also we need to know that 0.59x means how much money per pound the bananas cost.
So when you put it together, you should get f(x)=0.90(0.59x)

Flying against the wind, a jet travels 2190 miles in 3 hours. Flying with the wind, the same jet travels 9520 miles in 8 hours. What is the rate of the jet in still air and what is the rate of the wind?
Answer:
Velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is 210 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jet's velocity against wind is
3040/4 = 760 miles per hour and flying with wind it is
8260/7 = 1180 miles per hour.
Let the velocity of jet in still air be x miles per hour and velocity of wind be y miles per hour.
As such its velocity against wind is x − y and with wind is x + y and therefore
x − y = 760 and x + y = 1180
Adding the two 2 x = 1940 and x = 970 and y = 1180 − 970 = 210
Hence velocity of jet in still air is 970 miles per hour and velocity of wind is
210 miles per hour.

Heron's Formula:
In geometry, Heron's formula (sometimes called Hero's formula), named after Hero of Alexandria, gives the area of a triangle by requiring no arbitrary choice of side as base or vertex as origin, contrary to other formulas for the area of a triangle, such as half the base times the height. Use Heron's formula to find the area, in square centimeters, of ΔABC.
