The total amount of weight on an elevator cannot exceed 1,800 pounds. a delivery person is on the elevator delivering packages.

together, the delivery person and the packages weigh 520 pounds. if the average weight of a person is 160 pounds, set up and solve an inequality to determine how many additional people, p, the elevator can hold.

Answer:

p ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Maximum weight elevator can hold ≤ 1800

Weight of delivery person and packages = 520 pounds

Average weight of a person = 160 pounds

Inequality to show how many additional people elevator can hold?

(weight of delivery person and packages + average weight of persons * number of persons) ≤ 1800

Let p = number of persons

(520 + 160p) ≤ 1800

160p ≤ 1800 - 520

160p ≤ 1280

p ≤ 1280 / 160

p ≤ 8

if p is the probability that some bin ends up with 3 balls and q is the probability that every bin ends up with 4 balls. pq is 16.

First, let us label the bins with 1,2,3,4,5.

Applying multinomial distribution with parameters  n=20  and  p1=p2=p3=p4=p5=15  we find that probability that bin1 ends up with 3, bin2 with 5 and bin3, bin4 and bin5 with 4 balls equals:

5−2020!3!5!4!4!4!

But of course, there are more possibilities for the same division  (3,5,4,4,4)  and to get the probability that one of the bins contains 3, another 5, et cetera we must multiply with the number of quintuples that has one 3, one 5, and three 4's. This leads to the following:

p=20×5−2020!3!5!4!4!4!

In a similar way we find:

q=1×5−2020!4!4!4!4!4!

So:

pq=20×4!4!4!4!4!3!5!4!4!4!=20×45=16

thus, pq = 16.

Given that the number of cookies sold is x and that of cupcakes i y, we have:

x + y = 110

2x + 4y = 314

A farmer wants to plant an apple orchard. His design consists of 10 rows of trees, where each row is 29.79 feet long. When he ge
Elis [28]
First divide 29.79 feet by 6
\frac{29.79}{6} = 4.97
But since you can't plant only a fraction of a tree, you can plant a maximum of 4 trees per row.
Now there are ten rows so...
10×4 = 40
You can plant 40 trees at the maximum.
