Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 3x = -6 ( x + 2 )

5 - 3x = -6x - 12

-3x + 6x = - 12 - 5

3x = - 17

$x = - \frac{17}{3} .. \\$

solniwko [45]

The relationship between the percentage of frozen citrus crop, and the cost of box of oranges is an illustration of a linear function.

The linear equation of the function is: $g(P) = 22.9P+7$ .
The inverse function is: $g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$ .
A practical domain is from 0% to 100%
A practical range is from 7 to 29.9

A. Input quantity

The input quantity is the percentage of frozen citrus crop

B. Output quantity

The output quantity is the cost of box of oranges

C. The linear function

We have:

$(P_1,c_1) = (20\%,11.58)\\(P_2,c_2) = (80\%,25.32)$

Calculate the slope of the function

$m = \frac{c_2 - c_1}{P_2 - P_1}$

$m = \frac{25.32 - 11.58}{80\%-20\%}$

$m = \frac{13.74}{60\%}$

$m = 22.9$

The linear equation is calculated as follows:

$c -c_1 = m(P-P_1)$

$c -11.58= 22.9(P-20\%)$

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

D. Rewrite as y = mx + b

We have:

$c-11.58 = 22.9P-4.58$

Collect like terms

$c = 22.9P - 4.58 + 11.58$

$c = 22.9P+7$

The function is:

$g(P) = 22.9P+7$

E. A practical domain

The domain is the possible values of P. Because P is a percentage, its possible values are 0% to 100%.

The domain of the function is: $[0\%,100\%]$

F. A practical range

When P = 0%

$c = 22.9 \times 0\% + 7 = 7$

When P = 100%

$c = 22.9 \times 100\% + 7 = 29.9$

Hence, the range of the function is: $[7,29.9]$

G. The meaning of $g^{-1}(12)$

The inverse function of g(P) is $g^{-1}(P)$

So:

$g^{-1}(12)$ is the percentage of frozen citrus crop, when the cost is $12.

H. The inverse formula

We have:

$c = 22.9P+7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$c - 7 = 22.9P$

Make P the subject

$P = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

So, the inverse formula is:

$g^{-1}(c) = \frac{1}{22.9}(c - 7)$

Substitute 12 for c

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9}(12 - 7)$

$g^{-1}(12) = \frac{1}{22.9} \times 5$

$g^{-1}(12) = 22\%$

16. A telemarketer makes six phone calls per hour and is able to make a sale on 30% of these contacts. During the next two hours

Reika [66]

Answer:

a) 23.11% probability of making exactly four sales.

b) 1.38% probability of making no sales.

c) 16.78% probability of making exactly two sales.

d) The mean number of sales in the two-hour period is 3.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each phone call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a sale is made, or it is not. The probability of a sale being made in a call is independent from other calls. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

A telemarketer makes six phone calls per hour and is able to make a sale on 30% of these contacts. During the next two hours, find:

Six calls per hour, 2 hours. So

$n = 2*6 = 12$

Sale on 30% of these calls, so $p = 0.3$

a. The probability of making exactly four sales.

This is P(X = 4).

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

$P(X = 4) = C_{12,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{8} = 0.2311$

23.11% probability of making exactly four sales.

b. The probability of making no sales.

This is P(X = 0).

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{12} = 0.0138$

1.38% probability of making no sales.

c. The probability of making exactly two sales.

This is P(X = 2).

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.1678$

16.78% probability of making exactly two sales.

d. The mean number of sales in the two-hour period.

The mean of the binomia distribution is

$E(X) = np$

$E(X) = 12*0.3 = 3.6$

The mean number of sales in the two-hour period is 3.6.

In the form of a paragraph, explain in complete sentences, your answers to the following questions. Include the final answer in

Yanka [14]

Lisa is an avid runner and is training for a marathon, so she runs everyday to achieve this purpose. In this way, she goes out to run for six days, so we have the following data set regarding the miles she runs:

1st day = 3.2 miles
2nd day = 7.5 miles
3rd day = 9.8 miles
4th day = 11.5 miles
5th day = 2.9 miles
6th day = 3.5 miles

Finally, she ran a total of:

3.2+7.5+9.8+11.5+2.9+3.5 = 38.4 miles

What was the average distance of each run?

This result can be get as the sum of each run (or the total of miles she run) divided by the numbers of days she ran.

 $A=\frac{38.4}{6}=6.4mi$

Lisa's goal for this week is to run an average of 6 miles per day. How many miles does she need to run tomorrow (the 7th day) in order to achieve her goal of 6 miles per day for the week?

Let's name x the distance she must run tomorrow. Therefore, the equation for this purpose is given as follows:

 $\frac{3.2+7.5+9.8+11.5+2.9+3.5+x}{7}=6$

∴ $\frac{38.4+x}{7}=6$

Isolating x:

$38.4+x=42$

∴ $x=42-38.4=3.6$

Therefore, she need to run:

$\boxed{3.6mi}$ in order to achieve the goal of 6 miles per day.
