Answer:

25%

6.5%

35%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the invoice :

Bill for a pair of Jean

Jeans ______39.99

Discount ___ - 10.00

Subtotal ____ 29.99

Sales tax ____ 1.95

Total _______ 31.94

A) % of discount to the nearest %

Discount amount = % discount * price

10 = x% * 39.99

10/39.99 = x%

0.2500625 = x%

x = 0.2500625 * 100%

% discount = 25%

% of sales tax:

Sales tax amount = % tax * Subtotal

1.95 = x% * 29.99

1.95/29.99 = x%

0.06502 = x%

x = 0.06502 * 100%

x = 6.5%

Markup before discount = 60%

Markup after discount = (60 - 25)% = 35%

An certain brand of upright freezer is available in three different rated capacities: 16 ft3, 18 ft3, and 20 ft3. Let X = the ra
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

E(X)=16\cdot 0.3+18\cdot 0.1+20\cdot 0.6=18.6

E(X^2)=16^2\cdot 0.3+18^2\cdot 0.1+20^2\cdot 0.6=349.2

V(X) = E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2=349.2-(18.6)^2=3.24

The expected price paid by the next customer to buy a freezer is $466

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given we know the probability mass function (pmf) of random variable X.

\left|\begin{array}{c|ccc}x&16&18&20\\p(x)&0.3&0.1&0.6\end{array}\right|

<em>Point a:</em>

  • The Expected value or the mean value of X with set of possible values D, denoted by <em>E(X)</em> or <em>μ </em>is

E(X) = $\sum_{x\in D} x\cdot p(x)

Therefore

E(X)=16\cdot 0.3+18\cdot 0.1+20\cdot 0.6=18.6

  • If the random variable X has a set of possible values D and a probability mass function, then the expected value of any function h(X), denoted by <em>E[h(X)]</em> is computed by

E[h(X)] = $\sum_{D} h(x)\cdot p(x)

So h(X) = X^2 and

E[h(X)] = $\sum_{D} h(x)\cdot p(x)\\E[X^2]=$\sum_{D}x^2\cdot p(x)\\ E(X^2)=16^2\cdot 0.3+18^2\cdot 0.1+20^2\cdot 0.6\\E(X^2)=349.2

  • The variance of X, denoted by V(X), is

V(X) = $\sum_{D}E[(X-\mu)^2]=E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2

Therefore

V(X) = E(X^2)-[E(X)]^2\\V(X)=349.2-(18.6)^2\\V(X)=3.24

<em>Point b:</em>

We know that the price of a freezer having capacity X is 60X − 650, to find the expected price paid by the next customer to buy a freezer you need to:

From the rules of expected value this proposition is true:

E(aX+b)=a\cdot E(x)+b

We have a = 60, b = -650, and <em>E(X)</em> = 18.6. Therefore

The expected price paid by the next customer is

60\cdot E(X)-650=60\cdot 18.6-650=466

A farmer plants corn in 1/4 of his field. He plants white corn in 3/5 of the corn
bija089 [108]

Answer:

\frac{3}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of the total that is for corn (TC - Total corn):

TC=\frac{1}{4}

fraction of the corn section that is for white corn (WC - white corn in the corn seccion):

 WC=\frac{3}{5}

we need to find the fraction of the whole field that is for the white corn.

For this we need to find how much is \frac{3}{5} out of the \frac{1}{4} destinated to corn, and this will be the fraction of the total that is for white corn. We find this fraction by multiplying the fraction of corn (\frac{1}{4}) by the fraction of white corn in the corn section (\frac{3}{5}).

I will call the total fraction of white corn TWC, thus:

TWC=WC*TC=\\=\frac{3}{5} *\frac{1}{4} \\\\=\frac{3*1}{5*4} \\\\=\frac{3}{20}

the answer is: \frac{3}{20} of the whole field is planted with white corn

A candy manufacturer makes two types of special candy, say A and B. Candy A consists of equal parts of dark chocolate and carame
Sphinxa [80]
If we let x as candy A
y as candy B
a as dark chocolate in candy a
b as dark chocolate in candy b
c as caramel
d as walnut
P as profit
we have the equations:
a + c = x
2b + d = y
a + 2b ≤ 360
c ≤ 430
d ≤ 210
P = 285x + 260y

This is an optimization problem which involves linear programming. It can be solved by graphical method or by algebraic solution.
P = 285(a + c) + 260(2b +d)
If we assume a = b
Then a = 120, 2b = 240
P = 285(120 + 120) + 260(240 + 120)
P = 162000
candy A should be = 240
candy B should be = 360
