The following data shows the quarterly profit (in thousands of dollars) made by a particular company in the past 3 years.

laiz [17]

Answer:

208.82 ; 61.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Year Quarter Profit ($1000s)

1 1 45

1 2 51

1 3 72

1 4 50

2 1 49

2 2 45

2 3 79

2 4 54

3 1 42

3 2 58

3 3 70

3 4 56

The 3 period moving average :

Yr Qtr Profit ($1000s)Pt ____ Ft ____ e=(PT-Ft)²

1 _ 1 ___45 __

1 _ 2 __ 51 __

1 _ 3 __ 72 __

1 _ 4 __ 50 ______________56 ____ 36

2 _ 1 __ 49 ______________57.67__ 75.17

2 _ 2__ 45 ______________57 ____ 144

2 _ 3__ 79 ______________48 ____961

2 _ 4__ 54 ______________57.67 _ 13.47

3 _ 1__ 42 ______________59.33__300.33

3 _2 __ 58 ______________58.33__ 0.11

3 _ 3__ 70 ______________51.33__ 348.57

3 _ 4 __56 ______________56.67__0.45

MSE = Σ(Pt - Ft)² ÷ n

MSE = (36+75.17+144+961+13.47+300.33+0.11+348.57+0.75) ÷ 9

= 208.82

Forecast for next quarter :

(58 + 70 + 56) / 3 = 184 /3 = 61.33

A bag of ice pops contains 2 flavored raspberry, 5 flavored lemon, and 3 flavored lime. Find the probability of each event.

alexira [117]

Answer:

A) 2/10 or 20%

B) 3/10 or 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 ice pops.

10 is going to be your denominator

Your numerator is going to be whatever amount of ice pops is.

After finding your fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator.

Lastly turn your decimal into a fraction.

2/10=0.2=20%

Hope I helped you.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the following line:<br><br> (-14,1) and (13,-2)

alex41 [277]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{y = - \frac{1}{9} x - \frac{5}{9} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find an equation of a line with two given ordered pairs. We have to find a slope first which we can do by using the formula below.

$\large \boxed{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }$

m-term is defined as slope in y = mx+b form which is slope-intercept form.

Now we substitute these ordered pairs (x, y) in the formula.

$\large{m = \frac{1 - ( - 2)}{ -14 - 13} } \\ \large{m = \frac{1 + 2}{ - 27} } \\ \large{m = \frac{3}{ - 27} = - \frac{1}{9} }$

After we calculate for slope, we substitute m-value in slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form is

$\large \boxed{y = mx + b}$

We already know m-value as we substitute it.

$\large{y = - \frac{1}{9} x + b}$

We are not done yet because we need to find the b-term which is our y-intercept. (Note that m-term is slope while b-term is y-intercept)

We can find the y-intercept by substituting either (-14,1) or (13,-2) in the equation. I will be using (13,-2) to substitute in the equation.

$\large{y = - \frac{1}{9} x + b} \\ \large{ - 2 = - \frac{1}{9} (13) + b} \\ \large{ - 2 = - \frac{13}{9} + b} \\ \large{ - 2 + \frac{13}{9} = b} \\ \large{ - \frac{5}{9} = b}$

Finally, we know b-value. Then we substitute it in our equation.

$\large{y = - \frac{1}{9} x + b} \\ \large{y = - \frac{1}{9} x - \frac{5}{9} }$

Find the area pls- i need help

Tresset [83]

Answer:

1. 36 sq un

2. 40 sq un

3. 20 sq un

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer for number one is 36 square units because the rectangular area is 24 sq un and the triangular area is 12 sq un so I added them to get 36 sq un. The second answer is 40 sq un because if you cut the shape into 2 shapes you get 2 equal trapezoids. Each trapezoid is 20 sq un so I multiplied it by two to get 40 sq un. The third answer is 20 because the side triangles are 2 sq un each and the square on the bottom is 16 sq un. By the way, sq un means square units lol.

Solve for p 2(p + 1) = 24

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

p=11

Step-by-step explanation:

2(p + 1) = 24

Divide each side by 2

2/2(p + 1) = 24/2

p+1 = 12

Subtract 1 from each side

p+1-1 = 12-1

p =11
