Answer:

The number of pounds of coffee in stock decreased by 9% each hour since the trend began.

There were 40 pounds of coffee in stock when the trend began.

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x)=0.4(.91)^x

= a b^x

where a is the initial value and b = 1-rate of decrease

We know that the number of pounds of coffee will decrease as time goes on.

.4 is the initial value

It is in the hundreds of pound

.4 * 100 = 40 pounds

x is the number of hours

.91 = 1- rate of decrease

Subtract 1 from each side

.91-1 =-rate of decrease

-.09 = -rate of decrease

rate of decrease = .09

rate of decrease = 9 %

That means we keep 91 % of the coffee and sell 9% of the coffee

Lets check the statements:

There were 400 pounds of coffee in stock when the trend began.

False there were 40 pounds when we started

The number of pounds of coffee in stock decreased by 9% each hour since the trend began.

True see above calculations

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

2/9 = 0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to pick the first number odd and less than 5: 1 and 3.

With each of these, the second number drawn can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9.

This makes 18 total possibilities.

Out of these, the only ways to have a sum less than 5 are 1 and 1, 1 and 2, 1 and 3, and 3 and 1. This is 4 ways out of 18:

4/18 = 2/9 = 0.22

The accompanying data are lengths (inches) of bears. Find the percentile corresponding to 65.5 in.

Jlenok [28]

Complete question is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Percentile is 74th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

All the lengths given are;

Bear Lengths 36.5 37.5 39.5 40.5 41.5 42.5 43.0 46.0 46.5 46.5 48.5 48.5 48.5 49.5 51.5 52.5 53.0 53.0 54.5 56.8 57.5 58.5 58.5 58.5 59.0 60.5 60.5 61.0 61.0 61.5 62.0 62.5 63.5 63.5 63.5 64.0 64.0 64.5 64.5 65.5 66.5 67.0 67.5 69.0 69.5 70.5 72.0 72.5 72.5 72.5 72.5 73.0 76.0 77.5

The number of lengths (inches) of bears given are 54 in number.

We are looking for the percentile corresponding to 65.5 in.

Looking at the lengths given, since they are already arranged from smallest to highest, let's locate the position of 65.5 in.

The position of 65.5 in is the 40th among 54 lengths given.

If the percentile is P, then;

P% x 54 = 40

P = (40 × 100)/54

P ≈ 74

Answer:

Math properties the programmer had put into the software. The majority of programming software is based in math.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other 3 possible answers make no sense.

1. Pixels with red, green, and blue switches - Seriously???

2. Code randomly created by programmers - Seriously???

3. The fundamental properties of physics which consist of numbers and constants (numbers and constants are the same thing and physics has virtually nothing to do with programming)

A website randomly selects among 10 products to discount each day. The color printer of interest to you is discounted today. Det

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

a) P = 0.039

b) The expected number of days is 10 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most appropiate distribution to use in this case is the geometric distribution, in order to calculate the probability of a success after k failure trials.

The probability of success, as each of the 10 products are assumed to have fair probabilities, is:

$p=1/10=0.1$

Then, the probability that our product is not selected any given day is:

$q=1-p=1-0.1=0.9$

a) The probability that exactly this product is selected exactly 10 days from now is the probability that is not selected (probbility q) for the next 9 days and selected (probability p) at the 10th day:

$P=q^9p^1=0.9^9\cdot0.1=0.3874\cdot0.1=0.039$

b) The expected number of days is calculated as:

$E(X)=\dfrac{1}{p}=\dfrac{1}{0.1}=10$
