GIVEN
1) Females outnumber males by 3 to 2.
2) There are 1770 people in the city.
SOLUTION
Let the number of males be x and the number of females y. Therefore, the total number of people can be written to be:
If there are 3 females for every 2 males, we have that:
We can substitute equation (2) into equation (1) and solve for y:
Dividing both sides by 5, we have
There are 1062 females in the county.
Answer:
P(a junior or a senior)=1
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of the probability is given by:
Where P(A) is the probability of occurring an event A, n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes and N is the total number of outcomes.
In this case, N is the total number of the students of statistics class.
N=18+10=28
The probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events is given by:
Therefore:
P(a junior or a senior) =P(a junior)+P(a senior)
Because a student is a junior or a senior, not both.
n(a junior)=18
n(a senior)=10
P(a junior)=18/28
P(a senior) = 10/28
P(a junior or a senior) = 18/28 + 10/28
Solving the sum of the fractions:
P(a junior or a senior) = 28/28 = 1
Answer:
5 more than 30 trees should be planted, for a total of 40 trees per acre.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of trees beyond 30 that are planted on the acre
The number of oranges produced = Oranges(x) = (number of trees) (yield per tree)
We are given that For each additional tree in the acre, the yield is reduced by 7 oranges per tree
So, number of oranges produced =
=
=
The derivative Oranges'(x) = 100-20x
Substitute first derivative equals to 0
Using the second derivative test,
Oranges"(x) = -20
20 is negative,
So, this is the case of maximum.
Thus, 5 more than 30 trees should be planted, for a total of 40 trees per acre.
