Currently 100 students can eat for 20 days, so we need to find the number of days 125 students can eat.

Originally:
100 students eat for 20 days

New:
125 students eat for x days. Multiply original number of students by original number of days which will give the total amount of students per day. Then divide the total amount of students per day by the new number of students to find the new number of days.

x= (100 students * 20 days)/ (100+25)
x= (100 * 20)/ 125
x= 2000/125
x= 16 days

ANSWER: 125 students can eat for 16 days.

Hope this helps! :)

Consider a large shipment of 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors. If X is the number among 15 randomly sel
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The required probability is 0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors.

Therefore N = 400 and X = 40

The probability of defective compressors is:

\frac{40}{400}=0.10

It is given that If X is the number among 15 randomly selected refrigerators that have defective compressors,

That means n=15

Apply the probability density function.

P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

We need to find P(X ≤ 3)

P(X\leq3) =P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)\\P(X\leq3) =\frac{15!}{15!}(0.1)^0(1-0.1)^{15}+\frac{15!}{14!}(0.1)^1(1-0.1)^{14}+\frac{15!}{13!2!}(0.1)^2(1-0.1)^{13}+\frac{15!}{12!3!}(0.1)^3(1-0.1)^{12}\\

P(X\leq3) =0.944444369992\approx 0.94

Hence, the required probability is 0.94

A company manufactures and sells personalized stationery. The weekly fixed cost is $3850 and it cost $3.00 to produce each packa
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

  more than 1100

Step-by-step explanation:

The contribution margin for each package sold is ...

  $6.50 -3.00 = $3.50

The number of packages that must be sold to cover fixed costs is ...

  3.50n > 3850

  n > 1100 . . . . . . . divide by 3.50

The company will generate a profit if more than 1100 packages are produced and sold each week.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If exactly 1100 packages are sold, then costs are covered, but profit is 0. In order for profit to be positive, more than 1100 packages must be sold.
