Answer:

16 yd.  This is the park's actual length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

1 1/4 cm     8 yd

------------ = -----------

2 1/2 cm        x

Note that 2(1 1/4 cm) = 2 1/2 cm, so the above equation becomes:

 1       8 yd

----- = ---------

  2         x

Solving for x, we get x = 16 yd.  This is the park's actual length.

Customers arrive at a grocery store at an average of 2.1 per minute. Assume that the number of arrivals in a minute follows the
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

a)  P(2)=0.270

b) P(X>3)=0.605

c)  P=0.410

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that customers arrive at a grocery store at an average of 2.1 per minute. We use the  Poisson distribution:

\boxed{P(k)=\frac{\lambda^k \cdot e^{-\lambda}}{k!}}

a)  In this case: \lambda=2.1

P(2)=\frac{2.1^2 \cdot e^{-2.1}}{2}\\\\P(2)=0.270

Therefore, the probability is P(2)=0.270.

b)  In this case: \lambda=2\cdot 2.1=4.2

P(X>3)=1-P(X\leq 3)\\\\P(X>3)=1-\sum_{x=0}^3 \frac{4.2^x \cdot e^{-4.2}}{x!}\\\\P(X>3)=1-0.395\\\\P(X>3)=0.605

Therefore, the probability is P(X>3)=0.605.

c)  We know that two customers came in in the first minute. That is why we calculate the probability of at least 5 customers entering the other 2 minutes.

In this case: \lambda=2\cdot 2.1=4.2

P(X\geq 5)=1-P(X

Therefore, the probability is P=0.410.

Ashley and Kristin are selling wrapping paper for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy rolls of plain wrapping paper and rolls
rodikova [14]

The cost of one roll of plain wrapping paper is $5 and one roll of shiny wrapping paper costs $16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume that the cost of one roll of plain wrapping paper is $x and a roll of shiny wrapping paper costs $y. so we have the following equations from the given data

4x + 3y = 68, take this as equation 1.

9x + 2y = 77, take this as equation 2

Step 2; We multiply equation 1 with 2 and equation 2 with 3 so we can cancel out the variable y in both equations. By doing this we get

8x + 6y = 136, take this as equation 3,

9x + 2y = 77, this is equation 4.

If we subtract 4 from 3, we cancel out the y variable and can calculate the value of x.

-19x = -103 , x = \frac{-95}{-19} = 5.

Step 3; Substituting this value of x in any of the previous equations we will get x's value. Here this value of y is substituted in equation 1.

4 (5) + 3y = 68, 20 + 3y = 68 , 3y = 48, y= 16.

So we have x = $5 and y = $16.

4x-5y=-3
tresset_1 [31]
4x - 5y = -3  ⇒ 1st equation
2x + 3z = 4  ⇒ 2nd equation
3y - z = 8     ⇒ 3rd equation

find the value of z.

3y - z = 8
- z = 8 - 3y
z = (8 - 3y) / -1
z = -8 + 3y

Substitute z with its value in the 2nd equation:
2x + 3z = 4
2x + 3(-8 + 3y) = 4
2x - 24 + 9y = 4
2x + 9y = 4 + 24
2x + 9y = 28

find value of x
2x + 9y = 28
2x = 28 - 9y
x = (28 - 9y)/2
x = 14 - 9y/2

Substitute the value of x in 1st equation
4x - 5y = -3
4(14-9y/2) - 5y = -3
56 - 36y/2 - 5y = -3
- 36y/2 - 5y = -3 - 56
- 36y/2 - 5y = - 59
2(-36y/2 - 5y) = 2(-59)
-36y - 10y = -118
-46y = -118
-46y/-46 = -118/-46
y = 2 26/46
y = 2 13/23  

x = 14 - 9y/2
x = 14 - 9 (2 13/23) /2
x = 14 - 9 (59/23) / 2
x = 14 - 531/23 / 2
x = 14 - 531/23 * 1/2
x = 14 - 531/23*2
x = 14 - 531/46
x = (14*46/46) - 531/46
x = 644/46 - 531/46
x = (644-531)/46
x = 113/46
x = 2 21/46

z = -8 + 3y
z = -8 + 3(2 13/23)
z = -8 + 3(59/23)
z = -8 + 177/23
z = (-8*23/23) + 177/23
z = -184/23 + 177/23
z = (-184 + 177)/23
z = -7/23

x = 2 21/46 ; y = 2 13/23 ; z = -7/23

4x - 5y = -3
4(113/46) - 5(59/23) = -3
452/46 - 295/23 = -3
9.826 - 12.826 = -3
-3 = -3

2x + 3z = 4
2(113/46) + 3(-7/23) = 4
226/46 - 21/23 = 4
4.913 - 0.913 = 4
4 = 4

3y - z = 8
3(59/23) - (-7/23) = 8
177/23 + 7/23 = 8
7.696 + 0.304 = 8
8 = 8
