Question 23 of 30
23. Question
A candidate in Prince Edward Island is preparing for their driving permit test. They initially plan to take \( x = 10 \) tests. If they pass half of the tests they take, how many tests do they expect to pass? If they decide to take 5 additional tests, what is the new expected number of tests they will pass?
Correct
In Prince Edward Island, the process of obtaining a driving permit involves understanding the licensing requirements, which can be modeled mathematically. Suppose a candidate must complete a series of tests to qualify for a driving permit. Let \( x \) represent the number of tests required, and let \( y \) represent the number of tests passed. The relationship can be expressed as: $$ y = \frac{1}{2}x $$ This equation indicates that for every two tests taken, the candidate must pass at least one to maintain eligibility for the permit. If a candidate takes \( x = 10 \) tests, the expected number of tests passed would be: $$ y = \frac{1}{2}(10) = 5 $$ Now, if the candidate wishes to increase their chances of passing, they can take additional tests. Let \( z \) be the additional tests taken, leading to a new total of \( x + z \). The new expected number of tests passed becomes: $$ y’ = \frac{1}{2}(x + z) $$ For example, if the candidate decides to take 5 additional tests, the new total becomes \( x + z = 10 + 5 = 15 \), and the expected number of tests passed would be: $$ y’ = \frac{1}{2}(15) = 7.5 $$ Since the number of tests passed must be a whole number, we round down to 7. This scenario illustrates the importance of understanding the relationship between the number of tests taken and the expected outcomes, which is crucial for candidates preparing for the driving permit test in Prince Edward Island.
