Answer:

116 units of the first product

380 units of the second product

Step-by-step explanation:

Product 1 has a unit volume of  10 cu ft

Product 2 has a unit volume of 3 cu ft

The truck has 2300 cu ft of space

Product 1 weighs 50 lbs

Product 2 weighs 40 lbs

The truck can carry 21000 lbs

Let X be the units of product 1

Let Y be the units of product 2

The given information can be expressed as:

10X+3Y=2300...(1)

50X+40Y=21000...(2)

Solving the system of equations:

10X+3Y=2300...(1)

10X=2300-3Y

X=(2300-3Y)/10

Substituting X in (2) we have:

50X+40Y=21000

50[(2300-3Y)/10]+40Y=21000

50[(2300/10)-(3Y/10)]+40Y=21000

50[230-(3Y/10)+40Y=21000

11500-(150Y/10)+40Y=21000

11500-15Y+40Y=21000

11500+25Y=21000

25Y=21000-11500

25Y=9500

Y=380

Substituting Y in (1) we have:

10X+3Y=2300...(1)

10X+3(380)=2300

10X+1140=2300

10X=2300-1140

10X=1160

X=116

So 116 units of the first product and 380 units of the second product can be transported in a single shipment with one truck.

A game is played using one die. If the die is rolled and shows 1, the player wins $5. If the die shows any number other than 1,
mash [69]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

i had a similar question

For each roll you start with paying 2 dollars and you only with 10 dollars one out of 6 rolls (on average). 

So the cost for one play is 2 dollars and your win is 10/6. 

Value is -2+10/6=-1/3 dollars

So you lose 1/3 dollars on average with each game

since you have no limited rolls u put 1/5

this from another question but both same just different numbers

Let’s assume the following statements are true: Historically, 75% of the five-star football recruits in the nation go to univers
marishachu [46]
<span>Given:
75% of the five-star football recruits in the nation go to universities in the three most competitive athletic conferences. </span>→ 25% goes to other schools.
<span>
five-star recruits get full football scholarships 93% of the time, regardless of which conference they go to. </span>→ 7% of the 5-star recruits don't get full football scholarships.<span>

a. The probability that a randomly selected five-star recruit who chooses one of the best three conferences will be offered a full football scholarship? 
75% * 93% = 69.75%

b. What are the odds a randomly selected five-star recruit will not select a university from one of the three best conferences?
25% of selected five-star recruit will not select a university from one of the three best conferences. I got the number based on the given data. Since, 75% will go, the remaining percent won't go. Total percentage should be 100% of the population. 

c. Explain whether these are independent or dependent events. Are they Inclusive or exclusive? 
These are independent events. One can still go to different school and still be legible for the full football scholarship. 

For question 2, pls. see attachment.</span>
