- Parent Volunteer Laurie was completing the treasurer’s report for her son’s Boy Scout troop at the end of the school year. She didn’t remember how many boys had paid the $24 full-year registration fee and how many had paid a $16 partial-year fee. She knew that the number of boys who paid for a full-year was ten more than the number who paid for a partial-year. If $400 was collected for all the registrations, how many boys had paid the full-year fee and how many had paid the partial-year fee?arrow_forwardA game costs $2.00 to play.

The balloons may have prize tokens. For the next player... • There are 50 balloons on the wall and 21 of them each contain a prize token. • The next player pays $2 and gets to throw darts until they pop 2 balloons. Their winnings are based on how many prize tokens they collect. See the table below. Note: The payout of tokens does NOT take into consideration the $2 the player paid. Find the expected value for this game for the next player. Find who the game favors. Complete the tree diagram using non-simplified fractions to label the probabilities. Use T for token and NT for no token. On the right of the tree, list the four outcomes and their final probabilities using non-simplified fractions. Check these add to one. START 1 balloon with a token (T) Use the outcomes' probabilities from the tree to find the expected value of this game. Use all four probabilities in the…arrow_forwardMike's game consists of selecting two balls, without replacement, from an urn containing 7 balls numbered 1 through 7.
