The correct answer is letter C.

The reason is because there are 12 cake donuts out of the 36 total.  This is a simple ratio of 1 to 3.  This means one out of every 3 people would get a cake donut.  If there are 12 people, this is 4 groups of 3, so one person from each group of 3 is 4 people.

In a basketball tournament, Team A scored 5 fewer than twice as many points as Team B. Team C scored 80 more points than Team B.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total score of three teams = 983

Since the teams' scores are given in reference to team B's score, let 'b' be the score of team B.

So,

The scores of Team A = (2 * b) - 5

The scores of Team B = b

The scores of Team C = (b + 80)

Thus,

The equation for determining the total points of Team B would be:

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

On solving,

(2b - 5) + b + (b + 80) = 983

⇒ 2b + b + b = 983 + 5 - 80

⇒ 4b = 908

⇒ b = 908 ÷ 4

⇒ b = 227

Team B's score = 227

Team A's score = (2 * 227 - 5)

= 449

Team C's score = 227 + 80

= 307

Total ⇒ 449 + 227 + 307 = 983

Hence proved.

When plucked, the high E string on a guitar has a frequency of 330 cycles per second. What sine function represents this note wh
Ber [7]

Let's analyse the function

y = f(x) = A\sin(\omega x)

The amplitude is A, so we want A=1.5

Now, we start at x=0, and we have 1.5\sin(0)=0

After one second, i.e. x=1, we want this sine function to make 330 cycles, i.e. the argument must be 330\cdot 2\pi

So, we have

f(1)=1.5\sin(\omega) = 1.5\sin(660\pi)

so, the function is

f(x) = 1.5\sin(660\pi x)

A website manager has noticed that during the evening​ hours, about 3.23.2 people per minute check out from their shopping cart
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

1.  c. Poisson

2. 0.9592 = 95.92% probability that in any one minute at least one purchase is​ made.

3. 0.0017 = 0.17% probability that no one makes a purchase in the next 2​ minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have only the mean, which means that the Poisson distribution is used to solve this question, and thus the answer to question 1 is given by option c.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

Mean of 3.2 minutes:

This means that \mu = 3.2n, in which n is the number of minutes.

2. What is the probability that in any one minute at least one purchase is​ made?

n = 1, so \mu = 3.2.

This probability is:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3.2}*3.2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0408

So

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0408 = 0.9592

0.9592 = 95.92% probability that in any one minute at least one purchase is​ made.

3. What is the probability that no one makes a purchase in the next 2​ minutes?

2 minutes, so n = 2, \mu = 3.2(2) = 6.4

This probability is P(X = 0). So

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-6.4}*6.4^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0017

0.0017 = 0.17% probability that no one makes a purchase in the next 2​ minutes.

The random variable X = the number of vehicles owned. Find the expected number of vehicles owned. Round answer to two decimal pl
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The expected number of vehicles owned to two decimal places is: 1.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table to the question is attached.

E(X) =∑xp(x)

Where:

E(X) = expected number of vehicles owned

∑ = Summation

x = number of vehicle owned

p(x) = probability of the vehicle owned

E(X) = (0 * 0.1) + (1 * 0.35) + (2 * 0.25) + (3 * 0.2) + (4 * 0.1)\\E(X) = 0 + 0.35 + 0.50 + 0.60 + 0.4\\E(X) = 1.85

The expected number of vehicles owned is 1.85.
