nd 5 units of Y. Mr. B purchases 3 units of Y and sells 2 units of X and 1 units of Z. Mr. C purchases 1 units of X and sells 4 units of Y and 6 units of Z.in this process A and C earn Rs. 6000 and Rs. 13000 respectively. While B neither lose nor gain. Find the prices per unit of the three commodities by using appropriate method.

Answer:

$(x,y,z)=(1477, 1464, 1437)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the selling of the units positive earning and the purchasing of the units negative earning.

<h3>Case-1:</h3>

Mr. A purchases 4 units of Z and sells 3 units of X and 5 units of Y
Mr.A earns Rs6000

So, the equation would be

$3x + 5y - 4z = 6000$

<h3>Case-2:</h3>

Mr. B purchases 3 units of Y and sells 2 units of X and 1 units of Z
Mr B neither lose nor gain meaning he has made 0₹

hence,

$2x - 3y + z = 0$

<h3>Case-3:</h3>

Mr. C purchases 1 units of X and sells 4 units of Y and 6 units of Z
Mr.C earns 13000₹

therefore,

$- x + 4y + 6z = 13000$

Thus our system of equations is

$\begin{cases}3x + 5y - 4z = 6000\\2x - 3y + z = 0\\ - x + 4y + 6z = 13000\end{cases}$

<u>Solving </u><u>the </u><u>system </u><u>of </u><u>equations</u><u>:</u>

we will consider elimination method to solve the system of equations. To do so ,separate the equation in two parts which yields:

$\begin{cases}3x + 5y - 4z = 6000\\2x - 3y + z = 0\end{cases}\\\begin{cases}2x - 3y + z = 0\\ - x + 4y + 6z = 13000\end{cases}$

Now solve the equation accordingly:

$\implies\begin{cases}11x-7y=6000\\-13x+22y=13000\end{cases}$

Solving the equation for x and y yields:

$\implies\begin{cases}x= \dfrac{223000}{151}\\\\y= \dfrac{221000}{151}\end{cases}$

plug in the value of x and y into 2x - 3y + z = 0 and simplify to get z. hence,

$\implies z= \dfrac{217000}{151}$

Therefore,the prices of commodities X,Y,Z are respectively approximately 1477, 1464, 1437

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\pi\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}=\dfrac{T}{2\pi}\ \ \ \ \ \ |square\ both\ sides\\\\\dfrac{m}{k}=\dfrac{T^2}{4\pi^2}\ \ \ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ k\neq0\\\\\boxed{m=\dfrac{T^2k}{4\pi^2}}$

Find the probability of each event.

jeka57 [31]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

The coin is fair, hence p = 0.5.

The coin is tossed 10 times, hence n = 10.

The probability that is lands tails up at least nine times is given by:

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

In which:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.5)^{9}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.0098$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.5)^{10}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.001$

Hence:

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0098 + 0.001 = 0.0108$

0.0108 = 1.08% probability of the coin landing tails up at least nine times.

Suppose the claim size of an auto collision insurance, X, is uniformly distributed on the interval $1,000 to $10,000. What is th

timurjin [86]

Answer:

35.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

If there were no deductibles, the expected claim payment would be:

$E(X) = \frac{10,000 +1,000}{2} \\E(X) =\$5,500$

If the collision insurance claim is under $2,000, then the insurer would not pay anything, but if X > $2,000, then the insurer would pay X - $2,000. The new expected value is:

$E_2(X)=\frac{2,000-1,000}{10,000-1,000} *0+\frac{10,000-2,000}{10,000-1,000}*\frac{(2,000-2,000)+(10,000-2,000)}{2} \\E_2(X)=\frac{8}{9}*\frac{0+8,000}{2}\\ E_2(X)=\$3,555.56$

The percentage reduction on the claim payment is:

$P=(1-\frac{E_2(X)}{E(X)})*100 \\P=(1-\frac{3,555.56}{5,500})*100\\P=35.35\%$

There was a 35.35% reduction.
