Meredith bought 4 T-shirts and 2 pairs of pants. If x is the cost of one T-shirt and y is the cost of one pair of pants, she’ll

have to multiply the number of T-shirts by x and the number of pants by y to find the total cost of the clothes.
Write an expression for finding the total cost of the clothes?

Apply the properties of operations to find an equivalent expression for finding the total cost of the clothes?

Answer:

The total cost = 4x + 2y

The total cost = 2y + 4x

The total cost = 6x + 4y

The total cost = 4y + 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Meredith bought 4 T-shirts and 2 pairs of pants

∴ The number of T-shirts is 4

∴ The number of pairs of pants is 2

- x is the cost of one T-shirt and y is the cost of one pair of pants

∴ The cost of each T-shirt is x

∴ The cost of each pair pf pants is y

∵ The total cost is the sum of the products of the number of T-shirts

and the cost of each one and the number of pair of pants and the

cost of each one

∴ The total cost = (4 × x) + (2 × y)

∴ The total cost = 4x + 2y

- To find the equivalent expression switch the places of x and y

∴ The total cost = 2y + 4x

- Meredith bought 6 T-shirts and 4 pairs of pants

∴ The number of T-shirts is 6

∴ The number of pairs of pants is 4

∴ The total cost = (6 × x) + (4 × y)

∴ The total cost = 6x + 4y

- To find the equivalent expression switch the places of x and y

∴ The total cost = 4y + 6x

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

0.0498 = 4.98%

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

Inquiries arrive at a record message device according to a Poisson process of rate 15 inquiries per minute.

Each minute has 60 seconds.

So a rate of 1 inquire each 4 seconds.

The probability that it takes more than 12 seconds for the first inquiry to arrive is approximately

Mean of 1 inquire each 4 seconds, so for 12 seconds $\mu = \frac{12}{4} = 3$

This probability is P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498$
