3 men

4 women

7 total

3 men/ 7 total = 198 men/ x total

using cross products

3*x = 7 * 198

divide each side by 3

x = 7*198/3

x = 462

There are 462 workers

If you mean 3 men and 1 women for a total of 4 workers when you state a ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4.

3/4 =198/x

Using cross products

3x = 4* 198

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 4*198/3

x =264

264 workers

It all depends on how you define ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4. This is incorrect phrasing and I took it to be men to women. You cannot have a ratio of men and women.

Jessica gets her favorite shade of purple by mixing 1/3 cup of blue with 1/2 of red. How many of blue and red paint does Jessica

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

8 cup of blue

12 cup of red

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to calculate how much black paint is produced, assuming that the volumes add up, we have to:

1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6

5/6 cup of paint is produced, I want to know how much I need to produce 20 cups, I divide the value I want by the ideal value, that is, 5/6 and thus I obtain the factor that I require:

20 / (5/6) = 24

Now I multiply by 24 each quantity of blue and red paint

1/2 * 24 = 12

1/3 * 24 = 8

Which means you need 12 cups of red paint and 8 cups of blue paint

Consider the following probability distribution function of the random variable X which represents the number of people in a gro

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

(a) 3.55

(b) 3.45 and 1.86

(c) 0.25

(d) 0.016

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> denotes the number of people in a group (party) at a restaurant.

(a)

The formula to compute the mean is:

$\mu=\sum {x\cdot P(X=x)}$

Consider the Excel sheet attached.

The mean is, 3.55.

(b)

The formula to compute the variance is:

$\sigma^{2}=[\sum {x^{2}\cdot P(X=x)}]-(\mu)^{2}$

Consider the Excel sheet attached.

Compute the variance as follows:

$\sigma^{2}=[\sum {x^{2}\cdot P(X=x)}]-(\mu)^{2}\\\\=16.05-(3.55)^{2}\\\\=3.4475\\\\\approx 3.45$

The variance is, 3.45.

Compute the standard deviation as follows:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\sigma^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{3.45}\\\\=1.85742\\\\\approx 1.86$

The standard deviation is, 1.86.

(c)

Compute the probability that the next party will be over 4 people as follows:

$P(X>4)=P(X=5)+P(X=6)+P(X=7)+P(X=8)\\\\=0.10+0.05+0.05+0.05\\\\=0.25$

Thus, the probability that the next party will be over 4 people is 0.25.

(d)

Compute the probability that the next three parties will each be over 4 people as follows:

It is provided that the three parties are independent.

P (Next 3 parties will be each over 4) = [P (X > 4)]³

$=(0.25)^{3}\\=0.015625\\\approx 0.016$

Thus, the probability that the next three parties will each be over 4 people is 0.016.

It's only possible for the two lines to intercept isif they have different slopes.

When two lines have the same slope they would be parallel and never intercept.

If the lines have different slopes, they would eventually intercept.
