Designer Dolls, Inc. found that the number N of dolls sold varies directly with their advertising budget A and inversely with th

e price P of each doll. The company sold 5200 dolls when $26,000 was spent on advertising and the price of a doll was set at $30. Determine the number of dolls sold when the amount spent on advertising is increased to $52,000. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

The number of dolls sold 10,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number N of dolls sold varies directly with their advertising budget A and inversely with the price P of each doll.

N = k(A/P), where k is the constant.

Now we have to find k.

Given: N = 5200, A = 26,000 and P = 30

5200 = k (26000/30)

5200 = k(866.67)

k = 5.99, when we round off we get k = 6

Now let's find the number of dolls sold when the ad amount increase to $52,000

Now plug k = 6, A = 52000 and p = 30

N = 6(52000/30)

N = (52000/5)

N = 10.400

Therefore, the number of dolls sold 10,400

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

I think 104,000 is the answer because when 26,000 is double it's 52,000 so I doubled 52,000 and 104,000 is what I got.

Walter invests $100,000 in an account that compounds interest continuously and earns 12%. How long will it take for his money to

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

$300000= 100000 e^{0.12 t}$

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

$3 = e^{0.12 t}$

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

$ln(3) = 0.12 t$

And then the value of t would be:

$t = \frac{ln(3)}{0.12}= 9.16 years$

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case since we know that the interest is compounded continuously, then we can use the following formula:

$A =P e^{rt}$

Where A is the future value, P the present value , r the rate of interest in fraction and t the number of years.

For this case we know that P = 100000 and r =0.12 we want to triplicate this amount and that means $A= 300000$ and we want to find the value for t.

$300000= 100000 e^{0.12 t}$

We divide both sides by 100000 and we got:

$3 = e^{0.12 t}$

Now we can apply natural logs on both sides;

$ln(3) = 0.12 t$

And then the value of t would be:

$t = \frac{ln(3)}{0.12}= 9.16 years$

And rounded to the nearest tenth would be 9.2 years.

Suppose that X has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 64. Approximate the following probabilities. Round the answers to 4 dec

o-na [289]

Answer:

(a) The probability of the event (<em>X</em> > 84) is 0.007.

(b) The probability of the event (<em>X</em> < 64) is 0.483.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Poisson distribution with parameter <em>λ</em> = 64.

The probability mass function of a Poisson distribution is:

$P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!};\ x=0, 1, 2, ...$

(a)

Compute the probability of the event (<em>X</em> > 84) as follows:

P (X > 84) = 1 - P (X ≤ 84)

$=1-\sum _{x=0}^{x=84}\frac{e^{-64}(64)^{x}}{x!}\\=1-[e^{-64}\sum _{x=0}^{x=84}\frac{(64)^{x}}{x!}]\\=1-[e^{-64}[\frac{(64)^{0}}{0!}+\frac{(64)^{1}}{1!}+\frac{(64)^{2}}{2!}+...+\frac{(64)^{84}}{84!}]]\\=1-0.99308\\=0.00692\\\approx0.007$

Thus, the probability of the event (<em>X</em> > 84) is 0.007.

(b)

Compute the probability of the event (<em>X</em> < 64) as follows:

P (X < 64) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + ... + P (X = 63)

$=\sum _{x=0}^{x=63}\frac{e^{-64}(64)^{x}}{x!}\\=e^{-64}\sum _{x=0}^{x=63}\frac{(64)^{x}}{x!}\\=e^{-64}[\frac{(64)^{0}}{0!}+\frac{(64)^{1}}{1!}+\frac{(64)^{2}}{2!}+...+\frac{(64)^{63}}{63!}]\\=0.48338\\\approx0.483$

Thus, the probability of the event (<em>X</em> < 64) is 0.483.
