Answer: C $1.51

To solve this, start with a proportion. Put the CPI numbers on the left and the apple juice prices on the right.

You will have:

82.4/130.7 = 0.95/x

Cross multiply to solve and you will get the price of the juice is $1.51.

Answer:

The cost of the gallon of the apple juice is approximately $1.51 in 1990. (Option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

As it can be assumed that the increase of the gallon of apple juice is proportional to the increase of the CPI, we can state that the rate of the price of 1990 to the price of 1980 is the same than the rate of the CPI in 1990 to the CPI in 1980:

$130.7 / $82.4 = Pg (1990)/ $0.95

Where Pg (1990) is the apple juice gallon cost for 1990. By solving the equation above:

$130.7 / $82.4 * $0.95 = Pg (1990)

Pg (1990) = $1.5068 ---> Pg (1990) = $1.51

Margot is trying to decide between cable and satellite TV. Cable has a package of $49.99 a month for the basic package, plus $9.
VashaNatasha [74]
The cost of cable (c) in terms of months (m) is
  c = (49.99 +9.95 +9.95 -10.00)m
  c = 59.89m

The cost of satellite TV (s) in terms of months is
  s = 125.00 +49.95m

The difference in price is ...
  s - c = (125 +49.95m) -(59.89m)
  s - c = 125 -9.94m

At 12 months, the difference in price is
  s - c = 125 -9.94*12 = 5.72
This number is positive, which means ...
  the Cable company will save Margot money over a 12-month period.

At 24 months, the difference in price is
  s - c = 125 -9.94*24 = -113.56
This number is negative, which means ...
  the Satellite TV company will save Margot money over a 24-month period.


_____
A graph of the costs shows a cross-over at 12.5 months. Until then, the Cable provider is less expensive. Over terms longer than that, the Satellite TV provider is less expensive.

George Martin loves The Beatles. Honestly, who doesn’t? On George’s favorite Spotify playlist, 40% of the songs are by The Beatl
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

17.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, see this situation as a cumulative binomial distribution. You have isolated trials with a probability of success. This makes it binomial. The wording of the question "what is the probability of at least half..." makes this cumulative.

There are a few ways to calculate this, and I'm not quite sure which way you're familiar with. I'll show the cumbersome way and use wolfram to make the calculation.

First, I'll calculate the probability for 15 success, given 30 trials.

30c15*0.4^15*0.6^15

Since the question asks for the probability of at least 15 success, I'll have to make a calculation for the probability of 16 successes, then 17, and so on. Then I'll have to add all the probabilities together. So, I'll use wolfram for that (see attached)
