The Nuthouse offers a mixture of soy nuts and almonds, Almonds
1 answer:
Answer:
14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.
<h3>Solution</h3>x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation
7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation
140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify
21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides
14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5
14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

To find the expected value of the distribution, we multiply each outcome by it's probability. Doing this, we get that the expected value of defects on a skateboard is of .
Outcomes and probabilities:
0 defects, 9/10 probability
1 defect, 1/20 probability
2 defects, 1/25 probability
3 defects, 1/100 probability.
Expected value:
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 4:
Thus, the expected value of defects on a skateboard is of .
