A company has a budget of $280,000 for computing equipment. Tablets cost $500 each, laptops cost $2000 each, and servers cost $5

000 each. The company needs 5 times as many tablets as laptops, and two times as many laptops as servers. Set this problem up as a system of three linear equations, and use trial and error to determine the approximate number of each type of machine should be purchased.

Answer:

The number of tablets  200

the number of laptops  40

and, the number of servers 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tablets be 'x'

the number of laptops be 'y'

and, the number of servers be 'z'

According to the given question

Total budget = $280,000

Tablets cost = $500 each

laptops cost = $2000 each

servers cost = $5000 each

Thus,

500x + 2000y + 5000z = 280,000 ..............(1)

also,

x = 5y  ................(2)

and,

y = 2z  

or

z = \frac{\textup{y}}{\textup{2}}   ............(3)

substituting y from 2 and 3 in equation 1,  we get

(500 × 5y) + (2000 × y) + (5000 × \frac{\textup{y}}{\textup{2}} ) = 280,000

or

2500y + 2000y + 2500y = 280,000

or

7000y = 280,000

or

y = 40

substituting y in equation 2, we get

x = 5 × 40 = 200

substituting y in equation 3 we get

z = \frac{\textup{40}}{\textup{2}}

or

z = 20

hence,

the number of tablets  200

the number of laptops  40

and, the number of servers 20

slega [8]

Answer: 0.1008188

Step-by-step explanation:

The question will usng the poisson distribution formula:

Given :

Mean(λ) number of occurrence in a given interval = 3

P(X=x) = Probability of exactly x occurrence in a given interval

Number of desired occurence(x) = 5

P(X=x) = [(λ^x) * (e^-λ)] / x!

Where ; e = base of natural logarithm = 2.7182818

P(X=5) = [(3^5) * (e^-3)] / 5!

P(X=5) = [(243) * (0.0497870)] / 120

P(X=5) = [12.098257] / 120

P(X=5) = 0.1008188
