Answer:
- 3 pounds at $3.87
- 19 pounds at $0.94
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pounds of high-priced jelly beans sold. Then the total revenue was ...
3.87x + 0.94(22 -x) = 29.47
2.93x + 20.68 = 29.47 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms
2.93x = 8.79 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 20.68
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2.93
3 pounds of $3.87 jelly beans were sold; 19 pounds of $0.94 jelly beans were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
answer is 40.56
approx 40.60
Answer:
3.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:
Payout ($) (x) : 0 2 4 8 10
Probability p(x) : 0.35 0.2 0.1 0.2 0.15
The expected winning ; E(X) = Σ(x * p(x))
Σ(x * p(x)) = (0*0.35)+(2*0.2)+(4*0.1)+(8*0.2)+(10*0.15)
= 0 + 0.4 + 0.4 + 1.6 + 1.5
= 3.9
Answer: Choice C. mean > median
================================================
Explanation:
Multiply each measure with their corresponding frequency.
- 8*1 = 8
- 10*3 = 30
- 14*2 = 28
Add up those products: 8+30+28 = 66
Then divide by the total frequency n = 1+3+2 = 6 to get 66/6 = 11 as the mean.
mean = 11
----------------
Since we have n = 6 values in this list, this means the median is between slot n/2 = 6/2 = 3 and slot 4.
Note how that places us in the middle row because 1+3 = 4 encapsulates both of those slots mentioned. So the median is 10.
Or you could list out the values in roster notation {8, 10, 10, 10, 14, 14} to see that {10,10} occupy the middle most slots. So the median is (10+10)/2 = 20/2 = 10.
median = 10
-----------------
The mode is simply the most frequent value. The table shows that mode = 10 since it occurs 3 times, compared to 8 showing up 1 time and 14 showing up twice.
-----------------
We have the following summary
- mean = 11
- median = 10
- mode = 10
With that in mind, let's go through the answer choices.
- We can see that mean < mode is false, since it should be mean > median, so cross choice A off the list.
- mean = median is also false, so choice B is crossed off as well.
- mean > median is true since 11 > 10 is true. Choice C is the answer. Note how this being true directly contradicts choice B, which is another reason to see why choice B is false.
- median > mode is false because 10 > 10 is false. It should be median = mode. Choice D is crossed off the list.
