Equation::
value + value = value
80x + 60(50-x) = 74*50
----
80x + 60*50 - 60x = 74*50
----
20x = 14*50
x = 35 lbs (amt. of 80 cent tea to use)
50-x = 15 lbs (amt. of 60 cent tean to use)

On average, the number of customers who had items to return for refunds or exchanges at a certain retail store's service desk is
spayn [35]

Answer:

The probability that the service desk will have at least 100 customers with returns or exchanges on a randomly selected day is P=0.78.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the weekly average we can estimate the daily average for customers, assuming 7 days a week:

M=756/7=108

We can model this situation with a Poisson distribution, with parameter λ=108. But because the number of events is large, we use the normal aproximation:

P(\lambda)\approx N(\lambda,\lambda)

Then we can calculate the z value for x=100:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{100-108}{\sqrt{108}}=\frac{-8}{10.4} =-0.77

Now we calculate the probability of x>100 as:

P(x>100)=P(z>-0.77)=0.78

The probability that the service desk will have at least 100 customers with returns or exchanges on a randomly selected day is P=0.78.

Goshia [24]

Let the  be the time in hours, and  meters of fencing completed. 

We know that After three hours, they have 15 meters of fencing complete, our graph will go from the point (0,0) to the point (3,15). We also know that they decide to take a 2-hour break for lunch and then resume building the fence, so our graph will go from the point (3,15) to the the point (5,15). Finally, After four more hours, they have a fence that is a total of 55 meters long, so the final part of our graph will go from the point (5,15) to the point (9,55)


We can conclude that the graph of t vs y is:

Suppose the time it takes a barber to complete a haircuts is uniformly distributed between 8 and 22 minutes, inclusive. Let X =
salantis [7]

Answer:

P(X>14)= 1-P(X

And replacing we got:

P(X>14)= 1- \frac{14-8}{22-8}= 0.5714

The probability that a randomly selected barber needs at least 14 minutes to complete the haircut is 0.5714

Step-by-step explanation:

We define the random variable of interest as x " time it takes a barber to complete a haircuts" and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Unif (a= 8, b=22)

And for this case we want to find the following probability:

P(X>14)

We can find this probability using the complement rule and the cumulative distribution function given by:

P(X

Using this formula we got:

P(X>14)= 1-P(X

And replacing we got:

P(X>14)= 1- \frac{14-8}{22-8}= 0.5714

The probability that a randomly selected barber needs at least 14 minutes to complete the haircut is 0.5714
