Answer:

Option D.(60, 135)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of acres of peas

y ----> the number of acres of carrots

we know that

The inequality that represent the problem is equal to

$x+y\leq 200$

so

<em>Verify each case</em>

case A) (-50,160)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the inequality and then compare the result

$-50+160\leq 200$

$110\leq 200$ ----> is true

The point is a solution for the inequality, but is not a viable solution because the number of acres can not be a negative number

case B) (80,160)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the inequality and then compare the result

$80+160\leq 200$

$240\leq 200$ ----> is not true

therefore

The point is not a solution

case C) (75,-200)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the inequality and then compare the result

$75-200\leq 200$

$-125\leq 200$ ----> is true

The point is a solution for the inequality, but is not a viable solution because the number of acres can not be a negative number

case D) (60,135)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the inequality and then compare the result

$60+135\leq 200$

$195\leq 200$ ----> is true

therefore

The point is a viable solution

Mrs. Ronilo had her students make a stem-and-leaf plot of the heights of all of the students in the class. The mean was 55. Dave

shutvik [7]

Given that the mean is 55 inches and Dave is 57 inches, he would have increased the mean of the height in the stem-and-leaf plot that the students were making. This is however is also dependent upon the central tendency that was used, in this case the central tendency is mean or average.

A furniture company is introducing a new line of lounge chairs next quarter. These are the cost and revenue functions, where x r

QveST [7]

Answer:

No lower than $208, and no higher than $956.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the revenue (income) function is represented by a quadratic expression (a parabola with branches pointing down), and the cost function is linear with negative slope.

When we plot them, we obtain the graphs shown in the attached image. Notice as well that there are two points of intersection for these two functions. The revenue exceeds (lays above) the cost in between the two points of intersection (marked in red and green).

For the company to make a profit, the revenue has to be larger than the cost, so we study the limiting values for that to happen, which is the points of intersection of these two curves.

The first one (pictured in red) is associated with coordinates (35, 33488) which tells us that is the production of 35 chairs with a revenue of $33,488. That is a cost per chair of $33,488 / 35 = $956.8

The second intersection (pictured in green) is associated with coordinates (125, 26000), which tells us that is the production of 125 chairs with a revenue of $26,000. That is a cost per chair of $26000 / 125 = $ 208

So these values give us the minimum and maximum that the company can charge to make a profit.

Which explains how to find the quotient of the division below? - 3 1/3 divided by 4/9 Write Negative 3 and one-third as Negative

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

its B

Step-by-step explanation:

cuz -3 1/3 would be turned into -10/3 by multiplying 3*3 which will give u 9 and adding 1 which is 10 then u put the 10 on top and keep the 3 as bottom.

and then flip the 4/9 which will turn into 9/4 so now u can multiple intead of divide

-10/3 * 9/4 and then youll get ur answer.

Customers are used to evaluate a preliminary product design. In the past, 95% of highly successful products received good review

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a. 61.5%; b. About 61.8%; c. About 36.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a kind of question that we can solve using the Bayes' Theorem. We have here all the different conditional probabilities we need to solve this problem.

According to that theorem, the probability of a selected product attains a good review is:

$\\ P(G) = P(G|H)*P(H) + P(G|M)*P(M) + P(G|P)*P(P)$ (1)

In words, the probability that a selected product attains a <em>good review</em> is an <em>event </em>that depends upon the sum of the conditional probabilities that the product comes from <em>high successful product</em> P(G|H) by the probability that this product is a <em>highly successful product</em> P(H), plus the same about the rest of the probabilities, that is, P(G|M)*P(M) or the probability that the product has a good review coming from a <em>moderately successful</em> product by the probability of being moderately successful, and a good review coming from a poor successful product by the probability of being poor successful or P(G|P)*P(P).

<h3>The probability that a randomly selected product attains a good review</h3>

In this way, the probability that a randomly selected product attains a good review is the result of the formula (1). Where (from the question):

P(G|H) = 95% or 0.95 (probability of receiving a good review being a highly successful product)

P(G|M) = 60% or 0.60 (probability of receiving a good review being a moderately successful product)

P(G|P) = 10% or 0.10 (probability of receiving a good review being a poorly successful product)

P(H) = 40% or 0.40 (probability of being a highly successful product).

P(M) = 35% or 0.35 (probability of being a moderately successful product).

P(P) = 25% or 0.25 (probability of being a poor successful product).

Then,

$\\ P(G) = P(G|H)*P(H) + P(G|M)*P(M) + P(G|P)*P(P)$

$\\ P(G) = 0.95*0.40 + 0.60*0.35 + 0.10*0.25$

$\\ P(G) = 0.615\;or\; 61.5\%$

That is, <em>the probability that a randomly selected product attains a good review</em> is 61.5%.

<h3>The probability that a new product attains a good review is a highly successful product</h3>

We are looking here for P(H|G). We can express this probability mathematically as follows (another conditional probability):

$\\ P(H|G) = \frac{P(G|H)*P(H)}{P(G)}$

We can notice that the probability represents a fraction from the probability P(G) already calculated. Then,

$\\ P(H|G) = \frac{0.95*0.40}{0.615}$

$\\ P(H|G) =\frac{0.38}{0.615}$

$\\ P(H|G) =0.618$

Then, the probability of a product that attains a good review is indeed a highly successful product is about 0.618 or 61.8%.

<h3>The probability that a product that <em>does not attain </em>a good review is a moderately successful product</h3>

The probability that a product does not attain a good review is given by a similar formula than (1). However, this probability is the complement of P(G). Mathematically:

$\\ P(NG) = P(NG|H)*P(H) + P(NG|M)*P(M) + P(NG|P)*P(P)$

P(NG|H) = 1 - P(G|H) = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

P(NG|M) = 1 - P(G|M) = 1 - 0.60 = 0.40

P(NG|P) = 1 - P(G|M) = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

So

$\\ P(NG) = 0.05*0.40 + 0.40*0.35 + 0.90*0.25$

$\\ P(NG) = 0.385\;or\; 38.5\%$

Which is equal to

P(NG) = 1 - P(G) = 1 - 0.615 = 0.385

Well, having all this information at hand:

$\\ P(M|NG) = \frac{P(NG|M)*P(M)}{P(NG)}$

$\\ P(M|NG) = \frac{0.40*0.35}{0.385}$

$\\ P(M|NG) = \frac{0.14}{0.385}$

$\\ P(M|NG) = 0.363636... \approx 0.364$

Then, the <em>probability that a new product does not attain a good review and it is a moderately successful product is about </em>0.364 or 36.4%.
