Answer:

Ground Chicory = 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain = 5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph would like to make 12 pounds of a coffee blend at a cost of $6.25 per pound.

Total cost of 12 pounds of coffee blend = 6.25 × 12 = $75

Ground Chicory = $4.40 per pound

Jamaican Blue Mountain = $8.84 per pound

Total weight of coffee blend = 12 pounds

Total amount of coffee blend = $75

Let the weight of Chicory be 'x'

The weight of Blue mountain be (12 - x)

75 = 4.40x + 8.84(12-x)

75 = 4.40x + 106.08 + - 8.84x

75 = (4.40x +-8.84x) + 106.08

75 = - 4.44x + 106.08

-4.44x = 75 - 106.08

-4.44x = -31.08

x = 7 pounds

and (12 - x) = 12 - 7 = 5 pounds

Therefore, Ground Chicory would be used 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain would be used 5 pounds.

Anvisha [2.4K]
Try, please, this:
1) Imagine, that pharmacist used 'x' gr. of 40% solution and 'y' of 70% solution.
Together (20 gr. of 52% sol.) it will be x+y=20.
2) From other side, the pharmacist combined 40x and 70y gramms, after obtaining together it is 52(x+y) gramms. In other words 40x+70y=52(x+y)
3) 
\left \{ {{x+y=20} \atop {40x+70y=52(x+y)}} \right. \ =\ \textgreater \  \  \left \{ {{y=8} \atop {x=12}} \right.
Answer: 8 gr. of 70% solution and 12 gr. of 40%.

A standard number cube has 6 sides labeled 1 to 6. apu rolls a standard number cube 30 times. How many times can
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The expected value of rolling a 5 or 6 is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of rolling a standard number cube is:

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6}

The cube is standard, this implies that each side has an equal probability of landing face-up.

So, the probability of all the six outcomes is same, i.e. \frac{1}{6}.

Now it is provided that Apu rolls the cube <em>n</em> = 30 times.

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the value on the face of cube.

The event of rolling a 5 and rolling a 6 are mutually exclusive, i.e. they cannot occur together.

So, P (X = 5 and X = 6) = 0.

Compute the probability of getting a 5 or 6 as follows:

P (X = 5 or X = 6) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6) - P (X = 5 and X = 6)

                            = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6)

                            =\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}\\\\=\frac{2}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}

Compute the expected value of rolling a 5 or 6 as follows:

E(X = 5\ \text{or}\ X = 6)=n\times P(X = 5\ \text{or}\ X = 6)

                               =30\times \frac{1}{3}\\\\=10

Thus, the expected value of rolling a 5 or 6 is 10.
