100 tickets were sold.
The total amount of the tickets sold is = 5 * 100 = $500. 
First prize given = $100
Second prize worth = $20 * 5 = $100
Total worth of prize + $100 + $100 = $200.
Net amount of tickets sold = $500 - $200 = $300
Expected price of each ticket sold = $300/100 = 3.
Therefore, the real price of each ticket sold is $3.

A waitress works 1.75 hours less in the afternoon than in the evening. If she works 5      1/8
gayaneshka [121]
Let x be the number of hours that the waitress works in the evening.

We know for our problem that she works 5 \frac{1}{8} in the afternoon and that she works <span>1.75 hours less in the afternoon than in the evening, so:
</span>x=5 \frac{1}{8} -1.75
<span>Since </span>\frac{1}{8} =0.125, we can rewrite our expression:
x=5.125-1.75
x=3.375

We can conclude that she works 3.375 hours in the evening, or expressed as a mixed fraction: 3 \frac{3}{8} hours.

The weight of people in a small town in missouri is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 154 pounds and a standard de
ad-work [718]
If a random sample of 20 persons weighed 3,460, the sample mean x-bar would be 3460/20 = 173 pounds.
The z-score for 173 pounds is given by:
z=\frac{173-154}{29}=0.655
Referring to a standard normal distribution table, and using z = 0.66, we find:
P(\bar x\ \textless \ 173)=0.7454
Therefore
P(\bar x\ \textgreater \ 173)=1-0.7454=0.2546
The answer is: 0.2546

A baker determined the annual profit in dollars from selling pies using p n( ) = 52n − 0.05n2 , where n is the number of pies so
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

<u>The annual profit if the baker sells 400 pies would be US$ 12,800</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Annual profit in dollars from selling pies using p n( ) = 52n − 0.05n² , where n is the number of pies sold

Annual sales of the baker = 400 pies

2. Let's solve p for 400 pies

p n( ) = 52n − 0.05n²

p (n₄₀₀) = 52 * 400 − 0.05 * 400²

p (n₄₀₀) = 20,800 − 0.05 * 160,000

p (n₄₀₀) = 20,800 − 8,000

p (n₄₀₀) = 12,800

<u>The annual profit if the baker sells 400 pies would be US$ 12,800</u>
