The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the units produced in a month

It costs ABC electronics company $2.50 per unit to produce a part used in a popular brand of desktop computers.

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

The company has monthly operating expenses of $350 for utilities and $3300 for salaries

We have to write the linear equation

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses in the form of:

y = mx + b

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

Monthly Expenses = $ 350 for utilities and $ 3300 for salaries

Let "y" be the total monthly expenses per month

Then,

Total expenses = Cost per unit(number of units) + Monthly Expenses

$y = 2.50(x) + 350 + 3300\\\\y = 2.5x + 3650$

Thus the linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

Cerrena [4.2K]

Every inch of length of his model is representative of 25 inches in the actual car. So if the the actual car was 25 inches long, the model would be 1 inch long. The means the ratio of length is 0.04. You take that number, and multiply it by length of the actual car. 0.04 x 193.75 inches = 7.75 inches. The length of the model car is 7.75 inches.

Darya [45]

Answer: Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mr. Bartley is taking the theater club on a field trip [which must include bus or other vehicle] to see the musical wicked. The school treasurer asked Mr. Bartley for the group's total ticket cost.

He wrote the following cost function for the school treasurer.

Total Cost =52(25+2)

Since cost function is a function based on number of people and per head cost.

So, the statement which best describe the cost function is "Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip."

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

0.8759 is the probability that no less than 4 of the entry forms will include an order.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat subscription order with an entry form as a success.

P(subscription order with an entry form) = 0.4

Then the number subscription order with an entry form follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 14

We have to evaluate:

$P(x \geq 4) =1 - P(x = 0) - P(x = 1) - P(x = 2) - P(x = 3) \\= 1 - (\binom{14}{0}(0.4)^0(1-0.4)^{14} + \binom{14}{1}(0.4)^1(1-0.4)^{13} + \binom{14}{2}(0.4)^2(1-0.4)^{12} + \binom{14}{3}(0.4)^3(1-0.4)^{11})\\=1-(0.0007+0.0074+0.0317+0.0846)\\= 0.8756$

0.8759 is the probability that no less than 4 of the entry forms will include an order.
