ANSWER: k = 700

 

WORKINGS

 

Given, c(x) = (5.5x + k)/x where,

c(x) is the average cost of printing a book

x is the number of books printed

k is a constant

 

 

If, c(x) = 9

x = 200

Find k

 

c(x) = (5.5x + k)/x

9 = [5.5(200) + k]/200

 

Multiply both sides of the equation by 200

9 * 200 = [5.5(200) + k]/200 * 200

1800 = 5.5(200) + k

1800 = 1100 + k

 

Subtract 1100 from both sides of the equation

1800 – 1100 = 1100 – 1100 + k

700 = k

k = 700

 

Therefore, given that c(x) = (5.5x + k)/x, if on the day when 200 were printed the average cost was $9 per book, the constant, k = 700

To find K, we must use the fact that
 on the day 200 books were printed
 the average cost was $ 9 per book.
 Thus, substituting the values, we have:
 c (x) = (5.5x + k) / (x)
 9 = (5.5 (200) + k) / (200)
 Clearing K
 (200) * 9 = 5.5 (200) + k
 k = (200) * 9 - 5.5 * (200)
 k = 700
 answer
 the value of the constant k is 700

nekit [7.7K]

Answer: a. 0.61

b. 0.37

c. 0.63

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

P(A) = 0.39 and P(B) = 0.24

P(success) + P( failure) = 1

A) What is the probability that the component does not fail the​ test?

Since A is the event that the component fails a particular test, the probability that the component does not fail the​ test will be P(success). This will be:

= 1 - P(A)

= 1 - 0.39

= 0.61

B) What is the probability that a component works perfectly well (i.e., neither displays strain nor fails the test)?

This will be the probability that the component does not fail the​ test minus the event that the component displays strain but does not actually fail. This will be:

= [1 - P(A)] - P(B)

= 0.61 - 0.24

= 0.37

C) What is the probability that the component either fails or shows strain in the test?

This will simply be:

= 1 - P(probability that a component works perfectly well)

= 1 - 0.37

= 0.63
