Answer:

As Bill's sales is £25400, which is greater than £25000, he achieved his target.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of each laptop = £400

lets calculate for 40 laptops first

Given, he sold 40 of these at 30% profit

30% of cost price = 30% of  £400  = 30/100 * 400 = 120

Therefore, selling price of these laptops =  £400  +  £120 =  £520

Total sales generated from selling 40 of these laptop = 40*£520

= £520 =£20,800  

lets calculate for 10 laptops now

Given, he sold 10 of these at 15% profit

15% of cost price = 15% of  £400  = 15/100 * 400 = 60

Therefore, selling price of these laptops =  £400  +  £60 =  £460

Total sales generated from selling 10 of these laptop = 10*£460

= £4600

Total sales generated from selling all the 50 laptop =  

Total sales generated from selling 40 of these laptop + Total, sales generated from selling 10 of these laptop = £20,800  + £4600 = £25,400

Target for Bill = £25000

As his sales is £25400, which is greater than £25000, he achieved his target.

0.25 inches represents 1 mile

----------------------------------------------
Find 1 inch:
----------------------------------------------
1 inch represents 1 ÷ 0.25 miles
1 inch represents 4 miles

----------------------------------------------
Find 3.75 inches:
----------------------------------------------
1 inch represents 4 miles
3.75 inches represent 4 x 3.75 miles
3.75 inches represent 15 miles

----------------------------------------------
Find 2.25 inches:

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

(A)

P(X \geq 0.8) = \int\limits_{0.8}^{\infty} f(x) \, dx  = \int\limits_{0.8}^{1} 1.25(1-x^4) \, dx = 0.08192

(B)

Then the cumulative function would be

CF(x) = 1.25x - 0.25x^5       if   0<x<1

0 otherwise.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A)

We are looking for the probability that the random variable X is greater than 0.8.

P(X \geq 0.8) = \int\limits_{0.8}^{\infty} f(x) \, dx  = \int\limits_{0.8}^{1} 1.25(1-x^4) \, dx = 0.08192

(B)

For any  x you are looking for the probability P(X \geq x)  which is

P(X \geq x)  = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{x}  1.25(1-t^4) dt = \int\limits_{0}^{x}  1.25(1-t^4) dt = 1.25x - 0.25x^2

Then the cumulative function would be

CF(x) = 1.25x - 0.25x^5       if   0<x<1

0 otherwise.
