To choose: a variable for the present age of a radio station and to write an equation which represents the information regarding the age at a particular day in terms of the present age

Answer to Problem 26WE
The variable for present age of the radio station is a
The equation representing the given information is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
A radio station has been on air for 13 days nine days ago.
Formula Used:
The following approach is used to obtain the equation connecting the present age and past age of the radio station
a. Choosing a variable for the present age of the radio station
b. Representing the given information that the station was having an age of a given number of days before a given time slot
The variable chosen can be assigned in the above expression to get the equation of age of radio station
Calculation:
Let the present age of the radio station be represented by the variable “ a ”
Based on this, the age before nine days is given by a- 9. Now, since the radio station has been on air for 13 days before the nine days, the equation for the ages can be written as,

They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees. She thinks that the probability of not getting exactly two aces is greater. The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. A represents an ace, and K represents a king.
