Divide both sides by 4

n=5

5+(3*5)=20

5+15=20

NUMBERS ARE 5 and 15

Answer:

1. cost per chair: $86.40

2. selling price per chair: $146.88

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The total cost per chair will be the sum of the cost of materials and the overhead cost (equipment, energy, labor, marketing). The cost of materials is ...

$500/(16 chairs) = $31.25/chair

So, the total cost is ...

cost of each chair = material cost + overhead cost

= $31.25 +55.15

cost of each chair = $86.40

2. We assume the markup is 70% of the cost, so will be ...

0.70 · $86.40 = $60.48

Then the selling price of the chair will be ...

selling price = cost + markup

selling price = $86.40 +60.48

selling price = $146.88

A coin is tossed 7 times. What is the probability that the number of heads obtained will be between 2 and 7 inclusive? Express y

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

0.9375

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of coin tosses = 7

Probability that number of heads obtained will be between 2 and 7 inclusive?

x = 2,3,4,5,6,7

Probability (P) = number of required outcomes / total possible outcomes

For a coin toss = 1 Head (H), 1 tail (T)

P(H) = 1 / 2

P(X) = C(7,x) * (1/2)^7

P(X) = C(7, x) / 0.5^-7

P(X) = [C(7,2) + C(7, 3)+ C(7,4) +C(7,5) + C(7,6) +C(7,7)] / 128

P(X) = (21 + 35 + 35 + 21 + 7 + 1) / 128

P(X) = 120 / 128

P(X) = 0.9375
