Answer:

The average yearly salary of the architect is $62,000 and the lawyer is $100,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The average yearly salary of a lawyer is $24 thousand less than twice that of an architect.

Combined, an architect and a lawyer earn $ 210 thousand.

Now, to find the average yearly salary of an architect and a lawyer.

Let the average yearly salary of an architect be $x.$

So, the average yearly salary of the lawyer = $2x-24,000.$

Combined, architect and lawyer earn = $\$210,000.$

Now, to get the average salary of the architect and lawyer:

$x+(2x-24000)=210000$

$x+2x-24000=210000\\\\3x-24000=210000$

Adding both sides 24000 we get:

$3x=186,000\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\ we\ get:\\\\x=62000.$

The average salary of architect = $62,000.

Now, to get the average salary of lawyer by substituting the value of $x$ :

$2x-24000\\\\=2(62000)-24000\\\\=124000-24000\\\\=\$100,000.$

The average salary of lawyer = $100,000.

Therefore, the average yearly salary of the architect is $62,000 and the lawyer is $100,000.

A travelling salesman sells milkshake mixing machines and on average sells 8.9 machines per month. He needs to sell at least 3 m

Goshia [24]

Answer:

0.67% probability he will have to shut down after this month

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

On average sells 8.9 machines per month.

So $\mu = 8.9$

Using the Poisson distribution, what is the probability he will have to shut down after this month

If he sells less than 3 machines.

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-8.9}*8.9^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0001$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-8.9}*8.9^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0012$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-8.9}*8.9^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0054$

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0001 + 0.0012 + 0.0054 = 0.0067$

0.67% probability he will have to shut down after this month
