5. A survey of student pizza preferences showed that 43 students preferred cheese, 56 preferred sausage, 39 preferred pepperoni,

28 preferred supreme, 31 preferred another kind, and 19 did not like any type of pizza. Make your own probability distribution in order to answer the question. Match the probability of each outcome given to the correct outcome.

Answer:

P (Cheese) = 0.199, P (Sausage) = 0.259, P (Pepperoni) = 0.181,

P (Supreme) = 0.130, P (Another Kind) = 0.144

and P (Does not like any kind) = 0.088

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of students who prefer cheese = 43

Number of students who prefer sausage = 56

Number of students who prefer pepperoni = 39

Number of students who prefer supreme = 28

Number of students who prefer another kind = 31

Number of students who did not like any kind = 19

∴ The total number of students surveyed = 43+56+39+28+31+19=216       The number of students who prefer pizza = 43+56+39+28+31=197

The probability that a students likes pizza is,

P(Student\ likes\ pizza)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ pizza}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}

                                     =\frac{197}{216} \\=0.912

The probability that a students does not likes pizza is,

P(Student\ does\ not\ likes\ pizza)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ does\ not\ prefer\ pizza}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}

                                                   =\frac{19}{216} \\=0.088

The probability distribution of students who prefer different kinds of pizza is:

  • The probability that a student likes cheese:

       P(A\ Student\ prefers\ cheese)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ cheese}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}

                                                       =\frac{43}{216}\\=0.199

  • The probability that a student likes sausage:

        P(A\ Student\ prefers\ sausage)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ sausage}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}

                                                           =\frac{56}{216}\\=0.259

  • The probability that a student likes pepperoni:

       P(A\ Student\ prefers\ pepperoni)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ pepperoni}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}  

                                                             =\frac{39}{216}\\=0.181

  • The probability that a student likes supreme:

       P(A\ Student\ prefers\ supreme)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ supreme}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}

                                                           =\frac{28}{216}\\=0.130

  • The probability that a student likes another kind:

        P(A\ Student\ prefers\ another\ kind)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ another\ kind}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}

                                                                   =\frac{31}{216}\\=0.144

Thus, the probability distribution table is displayed below:

A rectangular piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the original length of the piece of​ metal

y ----> the original width of the piece of​ metal

we know that

When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box

The dimensions of the box are

L=(x-10)\ in\\W=(y-10)\ in\\H=5\ in

The volume of the box is equal to

V=(x-10)(y-10)5

V=930\ in^3

so

930=(x-10)(y-10)5

simplify

186=(x-10)(y-10) -----> equation A

Remember that

The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide

so

x=y+25 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

186=(y+25-10)(y-10)

solve for y

186=(y+15)(y-10)\\186=y^2-10y+15y-150\\y^2+5y-336=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solution is y=16

see the attached figure

Find the value of x

x=16+25=41

therefore

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

The average age of instructors at a local college is 55, with a standard deviation of 6 years; the average salary is $37,000 wit
Lerok [7]
To solve for the coefficient of variation you will need this formula:
CV = (SD/X) x 100 
Where: CV = Coefficient of Variance
             X = Mean/average
             SD = Standard Deviation

To determine which one is more variable, just get the coefficient of both and compare.
                   AGE                                            SALARY
   
  CV = (6/55) x 100                             CV = (4,100/37,000) x 100
        = 10.90                                             = 11.08

Based on the results, salary is more variable because 10.90<11.08.
