Answer:

$2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling them at 5 cents each ($0.05), he could sell 1 dozen buttons for

12 * $0.05 = $0.60

As he bought them at $0.38 per dozen, the profit per dozen would be

$0.60 - $0.38 = $0.22

As 12 dozen is 1 gross, the profit per gross would be

12 * $0.22 = $2.64

3 x 12 = 36

.5 x 36 = 18.0

36 divided by .38 is about 94.7

18 - 94.7 = -76.7

ANSWER:

about -76.7

The answer:
<span>the upper and lower control limits (uclim and lclim) for mean formula is 

for the mean chart
uclim= x+A2xR
where x = sum(of the value)  / number of each value
and for 
lclim=</span>x+A2xR
<span>
R is the range such that R= Xmax - Xmin

in the case of the sample 1: S1
the data are: 
79.2    78.8   80.0   78.4   81.0

the mean is   x1 = (</span>79.2  +  78.8  +  80.0  + 78.4  + 81.0)  / 5=  79.48
<span>its range is    R 1= 81.0 -78.4 = 2.6

we can do the same method for finding the mean chart and range for all samples
</span>S2: x2=<span> 80.14  ,  R2=2.3
</span>S3: x3= 80.14  ,  R3=1.2
S4: x4= 79.60  ,  R4=1.7
S5: x5= 80.02  ,  R5=2.0
S6: x6=80.38   ,  R6=1.4
<span>
therefore the average value is   X= sum( x1+x2+...+x6) / 6 = 79.96
and R=sum(R1+R2+...+R6)/6=1.87
finally
range chart uclim =D4xR=3.95  and lclim is always equal to 0, because D3=0

we can say that the process is not in control.

Which expression represents the calculation “subtract 10 from 36, then divide by 6”
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

(36 - 10) (divide sign) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Walk through the problem:

"subtract 10 from 36." = "take ten away from 36." = "36 - 10."

"then divide by 6." = "Divide 36 - 10 by 6." = "(36 - 10) divided by 6."

Which expression is equivalent to (3m^-2n)^-3/6mn^-2? Assume m=0, n=0.
goldenfox [79]
This is the answer:

(3m^-2 n)^-3 / 6mn^-2
1st step: distribution of power3^-3 m^-2*-3 n^-3 / 6mn^-2
2nd step: use product and quotient rulem^6 n^2/ 3^3 *6*m*n^3
3rd and last step: simply expressionm^5/162n
The answer is m^5/162n

Hope this helps. :)

Fynjy0 [20]
We first calculate the average of the ten data points. 9 + 7 + 6.5 + 7.5 + 7 + 8 + 5 + 6 + 7.5 + 8 = 71.5, and 71.5 / 10 = 7.15.
Then we find the sum of squares of deviations from the mean:
(9 - 7.15)^2 + (7 - 7.15)^2 + (6.5 - 7.15)^2 + (7.5 - 7.15)^2 + (7 - 7.15)^2 + (8 - 7.15)^2 + (5 - 7.15)^2 + (6 - 7.15)^2 + (7.5 - 7.15)^2 + (8 - 7.15)^2 = 11.525
Then we divide by the number of terms = 10, so the variance of the sample will be 11.525 / 10 = 1.15.
