Answer: Third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pounds = 8

Cost of bananas = $3.12

Unit rate would be $\dfrac{3.12}{8}=\$0.39$

Number of pounds = 9

Cost of bananas = $3.06

Unit rate would be $\dfrac{3.06}{9}=\$0.34$

Difference between two unit rates would be

$\$0.39-\$0.34\\\\=\$0.05$

so, the rate for the first store is $0.05 per pound more than the second store.

Hence, Third option is correct.

Answer:

the 3rd one

Step-by-step explanation:

$3.12÷8=$0.39

$3.06÷9=$0.34

$0.39 is 0.05 more than $0.34

What is the value of the expression below when x=4x=4? 7x^2 +8x-7 7x 2 +8x−7

Vinil7 [7]

Answer: 137

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression: $7x^2 +8x-7$

We need to find the value of the expression when x=4.

So we just use the substitution property and substitute the value of x= 4 in the given expression , we get

$7(4)^2+8(4)-7\\\\= 7(16)+32-7\\\\= 112+25\\\\=137$

Hence, the value of the expression at x=4 is 137.

A supermarket has two customers waiting to pay for their purchases at counter I and one customer waiting to pay at counter II. L

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

b. 0.864

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start defining the random variables.

Y1 : ''Number of customers who spend more than $50 on groceries at counter 1''

Y2 : ''Number of customers who spend more than $50 on groceries at counter 2''

If X is a binomial random variable, the probability function for X is :

$P(X=x)=(nCx)p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}$

Where P(X=x) is the probability of the random variable X to assume the value x

nCx is the combinatorial number define as :

$nCx=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

n is the number of independent Bernoulli experiments taking place

And p is the success probability.

In counter I :

Y1 ~ Bi (n,p)

Y1 ~ Bi(2,0.2)

$P(Y1=y1)=(2Cy1)(0.2)^{y1}(0.8)^{2-y1}$

With y1 ∈ {0,1,2}

And P( Y1 = y1 ) = 0 with y1 ∉ {0,1,2}

In counter II :

Y2 ~ Bi (n,p)

Y2 ~ Bi (1,0.3)

$P(Y2=y2)=(1Cy2)(0.3)^{y2}(0.7)^{1-y2}$

With y2 ∈ {0,1}

And P( Y2 = y2 ) = 0 with y2 ∉ {0,1}

(1Cy2) with y2 = 0 and y2 = 1 is equal to 1 so the probability function for Y2 is :

$P(Y2=y2)=(0.3)^{y2}(0.7)^{1-y2}$

Y1 and Y2 are independent so the joint probability distribution is the product of the Y1 probability function and the Y2 probability function.

$P(Y1=y1,Y2=y2)=P(Y1=y1).P(Y2=y2)$

$P(Y1=y1,Y2=y2)=(2Cy1)(0.2)^{y1}(0.8)^{2-y1}(0.3)^{y2}(0.7)^{1-y2}$

With y1 ∈ {0,1,2} and y2 ∈ {0,1}

P( Y1 = y1 , Y2 = y2) = 0 when y1 ∉ {0,1,2} or y2 ∉ {0,1}

b. Not more than one of three customers will spend more than $50 can mathematically be expressed as :

$Y1 + Y2 \leq 1$

$Y1 + Y2\leq 1$ when Y1 = 0 and Y2 = 0 , when Y1 = 1 and Y2 = 0 and finally when Y1 = 0 and Y2 = 1

To calculate $P(Y1+Y2\leq 1)$ we must sume all the probabilities that satisfy the equation :

$P(Y1+Y2\leq 1)=P(Y1=0,Y2=0)+P(Y1=1,Y2=0)+P(Y1=0,Y2=1)$

$P(Y1=0,Y2=0)=(2C0)(0.2)^{0}(0.8)^{2-0}(0.3)^{0}(0.7)^{1-0}=(0.8)^{2}(0.7)=0.448$

$P(Y1=1,Y2=0)=(2C1)(0.2)^{1}(0.8)^{2-1}(0.3)^{0}(0.7)^{1-0}=2(0.2)(0.8)(0.7)=0.224$

$P(Y1=0,Y2=1)=(2C0)(0.2)^{0}(0.8)^{2-0}(0.3)^{1}(0.7)^{1-1}=(0.8)^{2}(0.3)=0.192$

$P(Y1+Y2\leq 1)=0.448+0.224+0.192=0.864\\P(Y1+Y2\leq 1)=0.864$

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. Parallel lines x and y are cut by transversal w. On line x where it intersects

oee [108]

Answer:

(A) $56.5^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram attached:

Angle 1 and Angle 6 are Co-Interior Angles.

The sum of co-interior angle is 180 degrees.

Therefore:

$m\angle 1+ m\angle 6=180^\circ\\\\m\angle 6=123.5^\circ,$ therefore:\\m\angle 1+ 123.5^\circ=180^\circ\\m\angle 1=180^\circ-123.5^\circ\\m\angle 1=56.5^\circ$

The measure of angle 1 is therefore 56.5 degrees.

The correct option is A.
