If a 10-pound turkey costs $20.42.how much does a 21-pound turkey cost

Answer:

$42.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a proportion using the following setup:

cost/pounds=cost/pounds

We know that it costs $20.42 for a 10 pound turkey.

$20.42/10 pounds= cost/pounds

We don't know how much a 21 pound turkey costs, so we can say that it costs $x for a 21 pound turkey.

$20.42/ 10 pounds= $x/ 21 pounds

20.42/10=x/21

We want to find x, by getting x by itself.

x is being divided by 21. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 21.

21*(20.42/10)=(x/21)*21

21* 20.42/10=x

21*2.042=x

42.882=x

Round to the nearest cent, or hundredth.

42.88=x

x= $42.88

A 21 pound turkey costs $42.88

A bin of 5 transistors is known to contain 2 that are defective. The transistors are to be tested, one at a time, until the defe
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the random variable N_1 we define the possible values for this variable on this case [1,2,3,4,5] . We know that we have 2 defective transistors so then we have 5C2 (where C means combinatory) ways to select or permute the transistors in order to detect the first defective:

5C2 = \frac{5!}{2! (5-2)!}= \frac{5*4*3!}{2! 3!}= \frac{5*4}{2*1}=10

We want the first detective transistor on the ath place, so then the first a-1 places are non defective transistors, so then we can define the probability for the random variable N_1 like this:

P(N_1 = a) = \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2}

For the distribution of N_2 we need to take in count that we are finding a conditional distribution. N_2 given N_1 =a, for this case we see that N_2 \in [1,2,...,5-a], so then exist 5-a C 1 ways to reorder the remaining transistors. And if we want b additional steps to obtain a second defective transistor we have the following probability defined:

P(N_2 =b | N_1 = a) = \frac{1}{5-a C 1}

And if we want to find the joint probability we just need to do this:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b) = P(N_2 = b | N_1 = a) P(N_1 =a)

And if we multiply the probabilities founded we got:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

Omar and Caleb each had a repair made on their cars. The initial cost of each repair is $1,000. Omar and
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Caleb paid less than Omar by $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial cost of each repair is $1,000.

One  coupon is for $80 off the repair cost. The other coupon is for 15% off the repair cost.

Case 1:

Omar uses the $80 off the repair cost coupon first. He then uses the 15% off the repair cost coupon on  the remaining balance.

Step 1: 1000-80=920

Step 2: 920-(0.15\times920)=782 dollars

Case 2:

Caleb uses the 15% off the repair cost coupon first. He then uses the $80 off the repair cost coupon on  the remaining balance.

Step 1: 1000-(0.15\times1000)=850

Step 2: 850-80=770 dollars

Now, comparing the values we can see that Caleb paid less.

He paid less by 782-770=12 dollars.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case the population represent all the professional athletes in the researcher city and we can assume that the sample size for tis population is N =982 and represent all the individuals of interest for the study and the parameter of interest is the proportion of athletes who believe that the enforcement of safety measures needs to be completely overhauled .

In order to estimate te parameters of the population the researcher select a sample of 400 professional athletes and just 86 of them returns the questionnaire sent. So then the real sample is the n =86 people who return the info, because the other people are part of the non response rate, and from this sample she found that the proportion of athletes who believe that the enforcement of safety measures needs to be completely overhauled is .
