Answer:

His wife gets $336 more than his son.

Step-by-step explanation:

Colin and Brian:

Ratio of 4:1.

So Colin gets \frac{4}{4+1} = \frac{4}{5} of the prize.

\frac{4*2100}{5} = 1680

Colin got $1680. Dividing between himself, his wife and their son:

Ratio of 2:5:3.

So Colin gets \frac{2}{2+3+5} = \frac{2}{10}, his wife gets \frac{5}{2+3+5} = \frac{5}{10} and his son gets \frac{3}{2+3+5} = \frac{3}{10}

Wife:

\frac{5*1680}{10} = 840

His wife got $840.

Son:

\frac{3*1680}{10} = 504

His son got $504.

How much more does his wife get over their son?

840 - 504 = 336

His wife gets $336 more than his son.

bazaltina [42]
The y - intercept of an equation is the value of y when x is substituted with zero. From the given equation,
y = 25x + 225
Substituting,
y = (25)(0) + 225
y = 225
Thus, the y - intercept of the given equation is 225.

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A population is the set of all the data that can be collected and from which a smaller set of data is drawn for further examination. A population may denote to a group of individuals, articles, trials or measurements. A population can thus be called as a collection of information regarding subjects combined together by a common characteristic.

A sample denotes a smaller, controllable form of a larger cluster. It is a subset comprising of the characteristics of a bigger population. Samples are used in statistical experiments when the population under consideration is too large for the test to include all the members.

A parameter is a valuable element of statistical analysis. It denotes the characteristics that are used to define a given population. It is used to define a particular attribute of the population. For instance, population mean, population standard deviation, population proportion and so on.

While making a statistical conclusion about the population under study, the parameter value is unknown. This is because it would not be possible to gather data from every single member of the population. So a sample is selected from the population to derive a conclusion about the parameter.

A statistic is the value of the characteristics that are computed using this sample. For instance, sample mean, sample standard deviation, sample proportion and so on.

The matched pairs are as follows:

Population: 2. All Toyota Camry (2020 US) model cars.

Sample: 4. 117 Toyota Camry (2020 US) cars that are sampled.

Parameter: 7. The average mileage of all Toyota Camry (2020 US) model cars.

Statistics: 6. The average mileage in city for the 117 sampled Toyota Camry (2020 US) cars, that is, 27.8 mpg.

Suppose the firm in this example considers a second product that has a unit profit of $5 and requires 2 hours of production time
user100 [1]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question

Recall the production model from Section 1.3:

Max 10x

s.t. 5x ≤ 40

x ≥ 0

Suppose the firm in this example considers a second product that has a unit profit of $5 and requires 2 hours for each unit produced. Assume total production capacity remains 40 units. Use y as the number of units of product 2 produced. . Show the mathematical model when both products are considered simultaneously.

Answer:

Max Profit: 10x + 5y

5x + 2y ≤ 40

x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Explanation:

x= number of units of product 1 produced

y = number of units of product 2 produced

Since the first product, x, has a unit profit of $10 and Max1 is 10x

Second product, y, has a unit profit of $5, Max2 = 5y

The maximum profit when both products are considered simultaneously is 10x + 5y

Max Profit = 10x + 5y

Time required for each unit of x is 5hours

Therefore, time required for x units is 5x hours

Time required for each unit of y is 2hours  

Therefore, time required for y units is 2y hours

Time required for the simultaneous production of both products is 5x + 2y

Since production capacity remains 40 units, 5x+2y ≤40

NB: The values of x and y cannot be negative
