alina1380 [7]

The equation that can be used to model the situation regarding the e-books and paperback is 5x + 12y = 68

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Total amount spent on e-books and paperback = $68

Cost of e-book = $5 each.

Cost of paperback = $12 each

Number of e-books = x

Number of paperbacks = y

Therefore, the equation that can be used to model the situation regarding the e-books and paperback will be:

= 5(x) + 12(y) = 68

5x + 12y = 68

The equation will be 5x + 12y = 68

Answer:

P(Y = 0) = 0.09

P(Y = 1) = 0.4

P(Y = 2) = 0.32

P(Y = 3) = 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the events be:

$W =$ Wednesday

$T =$ Thursday

$F =$ Friday

$S =$ Saturday

Their corresponding probabilities are

$P(W) = 0.3\\P(T) = 0.4\\P(F) = 0.2\\P(S) = 0.1$

Since $Y$ = number of days beyond Wednesday that it takes for both magazines to arrive(so possible $Y$ values are 0, 1, 2 or 3)

The possible number of outcomes are therefore $4^2 = 16\\(W, W), (W, T), (W, F), (W, S)\\(T, W), (T, T), (T, F), (T, S)\\(F, W), (F, T), (F, F), (F, S)\\(S, W), (S, T), (S, F), (S, S)$

The values associated for each of the outcomes are as follows:

$Y(W, W) = 0, Y(W, T) = 1, Y(W, F) = 2, Y(W, S) = 3\\Y(T, W) = 1, Y(T, T) = 1, Y(T, F) = 2, Y(T, S) = 3\\Y(F, W) = 2, Y(F, T) = 2, Y(F, F) = 2, Y(F, S) = 3\\Y(S, W) = 3, Y(S, T) = 3, Y(S, F) = 3, Y(S, S) = 3$

The probability mass function of $Y$ is,

$P(Y = 0) = 0.3(0.3) = 0.09\\P(Y = 1) = P[(W, T) or (T, W) or (T, T)]\\= [0.3(0.4) + 0.3(0.4) + 0.4(0.4)]\\= 0.4\\\\P(Y = 2) = P[(W, F) or (T, F) or (F, W) or (F, T) or (F, F)]\\= [0.3(0.2) + 0.4(0.2) + 0.2(0.3) + 0.2(0.4) + 0.2(0.2)]\\= 0.32\\\\P(Y = 3) = P[(W, S) or (T, S) or (F, S) or (S, W) or (S, T) or (S, F) or (S, S)]\\= [0.3(0.1) + 0.4(0.1) + 0.2(0.1) + 0.1(0.3) 0.1(0.4) + 0.1(0.2) + 0.1(0.1)]\\= 0.19$
