Antoine and Tess have a disagreement over how to compute a 15% gratuity on $46.00.  Tess says, “It is easy to find 10% of 46 by

moving the decimal point one place to the left to get $4.60. Do that twice. Then add the two amounts to get $4.60 + $4.60 = $9.20 for the 15% gratuity.” How should Antoine respond to Tess’s method?

How would Antonio respond....she would say " u stupid ".

Tess is right about it being easy to find 10% of 46 by moving the decimal point 1 place to the left to get 4.60.....but there is no need to do that twice....because if u do 10% twice, ur doing 20%.
okay....once u get 10% of 46 = 4.60....then u figure 5% of 46 = (0.05(46) = 2.30....because 10% + 5% = 15%.....then u add those together.....4.60 + 2.30 = 6.90. This can easily be checked...15% of 46 = 0.15(46) = 6.9 ,just like 10% of 46 + 5% of 46 = 6.9

Answer:

ITS B. “Tess, you found 20% of the number because you added 10% and 10%. You need to add 10% to 1/2 of 10%. Add $4.60 and

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

In the United States, 75 percent of adults wear glasses or contact lenses. A random sample of 10 adults in the United States wil
V125BC [204]

Answer:

0.4745 is the probability that fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat adult adults wear glasses or contact lenses as a success.

P(Adults wear glasses or contact lenses) = 75% = 0.75

Then the number of adults follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

P(fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses)

P(x < 8)\\=1 - P(x = 8) - P(x = 9) - P(x = 10)\\=1 - \binom{10}{8}(0.75)^8(1-0.75)^2 - \binom{10}{9}(0.75)^9(1-0.75)^1- \binom{10}{10}(0.75)^10(1-0.75)^0\\=1 - 0.2815-0.1877-0.0563\\= 0.4745

0.4745 is the probability that fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses.

Solve for x in the equation ? 2x^2 +3 x-7 =x^2 +5x +39
otez555 [7]

Answer:

1 ± √47

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms in 2x^2 +3 x-7 =x^2 +5x +39:

2x^2 - x^2 = x^2 (first term);

3x - 5x = -2x (second term);

-7 - 39 = -46 (third term)

Then we have, all on the left side, x^2 - 2x - 46, which is a quadratic equation.  Here the coefficients are a = 1, b = -2 and c = -46.

Then the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, is:

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-46) = 4 + 184.

The roots are:

     -(-2) ±√188         2 ± √4√47

    ------------------- = -------------------

              2                         2

                             = 1 ± √47 (last of the answer choices)

=

x = ------------------
