Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. $310 at $2 per kilogram</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's find out the maximum profit Ms. Ortiz can make with a loaf of tomatoes:

function p(x)=–80x² + 320x – 10

For x = 1, price per kilogram of tomatoes would be: 4 - x = 3

–80x² + 320x – 10, replacing with x = 1

-80 * 1² + 320 * 1 - 10 = -80 + 320 - 10 = 230

For x = 2 price per kilogram of tomatoes would be: 4 - x = 2

–80x² + 320x – 10, replacing with x = 2

-80 * 2² + 320 * 2 - 10 = -320 + 640 - 10 = 310

For x = 3, price per kilogram of tomatoes would be: 4 - x = 1

–80x² + 320x – 10, replacing with x = 3

-80 * 3² + 320 * 3 - 10 = -720 + 960 - 10 = 230

<u>The correct answer is B. $310 at $2 per kilogram</u>

Uma urna contém 10 bolas identificadas pelas letras A, B, ..., J. Uma bola é extraída ao acaso da urna e sua letra é observada.

arlik [135]

Answer:

a) Probability that a letter of the drawn ball is vowel = (3/10) = 0.30

b) Probability that a letter of the drawn ball is consonant = (7/10) = 0.70

a) Probabilidade de uma letra da bola sacada ser vogal = (3/10) = 0.30

b) Probabilidade de uma letra da bola sacada ser consoante = (7/10) = 0,70

Step-by-step explanation:

English Translation

A ballot box contains 10 balls identified by the letters A, B, ..., J. A ball is drawn at random from the ballot box and its letter is observed. (Make the sample space and all events explicit). What is the probability that a letter of the drawn ball is: a) Vowel b) Consonant

Solution

The 10 balls are identified by A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J

Note that the probability of an event is given as the number of elements in that event divided by the number of elements in the sample space.

a) Probability of drawing a ball that has a vowel letter = P(v)

P(v) = n(v) ÷ n(S)

n(v) = Number of balls with vowel letters = 3 (that is, A, E and I)

n(S) = Total number of balls = 10

P(v) = (3/10) = 0.30

b) Probability of drawing a ball that has a consonant letter = P(c)

P(c) = n(c) ÷ n(S)

n(c) = Number of balls with consonant letters = 7 (that is, B, C, D, F, G, H and J)

n(S) = Total number of balls = 10

P(c) = (7/10) = 0.70

In Portugese/Em português

As 10 bolas são identificadas por A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I e J.

Observe que a probabilidade de um evento é fornecida como o número de elementos nesse evento dividido pelo número de elementos no espaço de amostra.

a) Probabilidade de desenhar uma bola com uma letra de vogal = P (v)

P (v) = n (v) ÷ n (S)

n (v) = Número de bolas com letras de vogal = 3 (ou seja, A, E e I)

n (S) = Número total de bolas = 10

P (v) = (3/10) = 0,30

b) Probabilidade de desenhar uma bola com uma letra consoante = P (c)

P (c) = n (c) ÷ n (S)

n (c) = Número de bolas com letras consoantes = 7 (ou seja, B, C, D, F, G, H e J)

n (S) = Número total de bolas = 10

P (c) = (7/10) = 0,70

Jabari is thinking of three numbers. The greatest number is twice as large as the least number. The middle number is three more

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

18, 21, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the least number. Then the greatest is 2L and the middle number is (L+3). Their sum is ...

L +(2L) +(L+3) = 75

4L = 72 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2, collect terms

L = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

L+3 = 21

2L = 36

The numbers are 18, 21, and 36.

A television station plans to ask a random sample of 400 city residents if they can name the news anchor on the evening news at

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

There is an 8.38% probability that the anchor will be fired.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resident, there is only two possible outcomes. Either they can name the news anchor on the evening news at their station, or they cannot.

This means that the binomial probability distribution will be used in our solution.

However, we are working with samples that are considerably big. So i am going to aaproximate this binomial distribution to the normal.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
