<u>Find cost of 1 necklace:</u>

20 necklaces = $500

1 necklace = $500 ÷ 20 = $25



<u>Find Sales of 3/4 of the necklaces:</u>

3/4 of 20 = 3/4 x 20 = 15 necklaces

15 necklaces sold at $40 each = 15 x 40 = $600



<u>Find Sales of the remaining necklaces:</u>

20 - 15 = 5

5 necklaces sold at $25 = 5 x 25 = $125



<u>Find profit:</u>

Total Sales = $600 + $ 125 = $ 725

Total profit made = $725 - $500 = $225



Answer: She made $225

$725


3/4 of 20 = 15 necklaces

15 x 40 = 600


The rest:

5 x 25 = 125


125 + 600

= 725

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: It will take 8 hours to reach this temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: At a desert resort, the temperature at 7 a.m. was 3°C.

The temperature increased by an average of 3.4°C each hour until it reached 30.2°C.

Let x be the number of hours taken to reach 30.2°C..

As per given ,

Initial temperature +(average increase in temperature) (Number of hours) = 30.2

⇒3+3.4x=30.2

⇒3.4x=30.2-3

⇒3.4x=27.2

⇒ x=8    [Divide both sides by 3.4]

Hence, it will take 8 hours to reach this temperature.

Suppose a research paper states that the distribution of the daily sea-ice advance/retreat from each sensor is similar and is ap
Luda [366]

Answer:

The value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

f(x) = 0.5\lambda e^{-\lambda |x|} for −∞ < x < ∞.

It is given that standard deviation is given as 39.8 km.

Now we need to calculate the value of parameter λ.

The general formula for the probability density function of the double exponential distribution is: f(x)=\frac{e^{-|\frac{x-\mu}{\beta}|}}{2\beta}

Where μ is the location parameter and β is the scale parameter.

Compare the provided equation with the above formula we get.

\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta} and μ = 0.

Standard deviation = √2β

S.D=\sqrt{2} \beta\\\beta=\frac{39.8}{\sqrt{2}}\\\beta=28.1424

Now substitute the value of β in \lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}.

\lambda=\frac{1}{28.1424}=0.03553357

Hence, the value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357
