Joey is buying plants for his garden. He wants to have at least twice as many flowering plants as nonflowering plants and a mini

mum of 36 plants in his garden. Flowering plants sell for $8, and nonflowering plants sell for $5. Joey wants to purchase a combination of plants that minimizes cost. Let x represent the number of flowering plants and y represent the number of nonflowering plants.
What are the vertices of the feasible region for this problem?
(0, 0), (0, 36), (24, 12)
(0, 36), (24, 12)
(0, 36), (24, 12), (36, 0)
(24, 12), (36, 0)

(24, 12) and (36, 0).  The least amount of flowering plants occurs when x=2y, and the largest amount occurs when y=0.  These two points satisfy both conditions and both sum to 36.

Answer: (24, 12), (36, 0)


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of flowering plants and y be the number of non- flowering plants.

According to the question, we need to minimize the cost of plants.

Minimize:8x+5y

Subject to the constraints,

2y\leq\ x\\x+y\geq36

To find the feasible region find the points of the equation to plot it on graph.

For the first equation 2y=x , at x=0 y=0 and at x=4, y=2

For the second equation x+y=36 , at x=0 y=36 and at x=36, y=0

Thus points for eq (1) are (0,0) and (4,2) and points for equation (2) are (0,36) and (36,0).

Now, plot it on graph, we get the shaded feasible region as shown in the graph.

and we can see the  vertices of the feasible region = (24, 12), (36, 0)

The weather forecast for the weekend is a 34% chance of rain for Saturday and a 32% chance of rain for Sunday. If we assume that
kaheart [24]

Answer:

P( A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B) = 0.34*0.32 = 0.1088

And then replacing in the total probability formula we got:

P(A \cup B) = 0.34+0.32 - 0.1088 = 0.5512

And rounded we got P(A \cup B ) = 0.551

That represent the probability that it rains over the weekend (either Saturday or Sunday)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the following notaton for the events:

A = It rains over the Saturday

B = It rains over the Sunday

We have the probabilities for these two events given:

P(A) = 0.34 , P(B) = 0.32

And we are interested on the probability  that it rains over the weekend (either Saturday or Sunday), so we want to find this probability:

P(A \cup B)

And for this case we can use the total probability rule given by:

P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

And since we are assuming the events independent we can find the probability of intersection like this:

P( A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B) = 0.34*0.32 = 0.1088

And then replacing in the total probability formula we got:

P(A \cup B) = 0.34+0.32 - 0.1088 = 0.5512

And rounded we got P(A \cup B ) = 0.551

That represent the probability that it rains over the weekend (either Saturday or Sunday)

If a coin is flipped 20 times and a head comes up 7 times, what is the relative frequency of a head coming up?
Tju [1.3M]
Relative frequency is the absolute frequency (i.e. the number of times of the wanted result) divided by the total  number of events.

In this case you have to calculate: the number of heads that came up divided by the number of times the coin was flipped.

Number of times the coin was flipped: 20
Numbef of times head came up: 7

Relative frequency: 7 / 20 = 0.35, which is the option B.
