Will, Mike, and Sue went to dinner. Will paid 1/3 of the dinner bill. Micah and Sue paid in the ratio 2:3. If Sue paid $6 more t

raketka [301]

Let's call their parts w,m and s

if will paid 1/3, then m+s=2w (they paid 2/3, which is twice as much as will did)

Now, we know that:
Micah and Sue paid in the ratio 2:3.
this means the 3m=2s

and m=2/3s

Again:
m+s=2w

and we substitute m:
2/3s+s=2w
5/3s=2w// multiply both sides by 3
5s=6w

we also know that s=w+6 (from the last sentence) so we substitute:

5(w+6)=6w
5w+30=6w
30=w

so, Will paid 30, Sue paid 36 (six more than him), Mike paid 24 (24:36 is the same ratio as 2:3, you can check this by dividing both 24 and 36 by 12: you have 2 and 3)

and the total was 30+36+24=90.

Anyone know how to simplify a whole number into a mixed number or a improper fraction???

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Example any whole number over one would be an improper fraction, so 2=2/1, something like 5/3=1 2/3 would be a mixed number, subtract the numerator by the denominator, how ever many times you can subtract is the whole number and the amount remaining is the numerator, keep the same denominator,,, hope that makes sense

Occasionally an airline will lose a bag. Suppose a small airline has found it can reasonably model the number of bags lost each

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a) The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108

b) The probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227

c) I would recommend taking a Poisson model with mean 4.4 instead of a Poisson model with mean 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability mass function of X, for which we denote the amount of bags lost next monday is given by this formula

$P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-2.2} * {2.2}^k }{k!}$

$P(X=0) = \frac{e^{-2.2} * {2.2}^0 }{0!} = 0.1108$

The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108.

b) Note that $P(X \in \{0,1,2\} = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)$ . And

$P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2) = e^{-2.2} * (1 + 2.2 + 2.2^2/2) = 0.6227$

Therefore, the probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227.

c) If the double of flights are taken, then you at least should expect to loose a similar proportion in bags, because you will have more chances for a bag to be lost. WIth this in mind, we can correctly think that the average amount of bags that will be lost each day will double. Thus, i would double the mean of the Poisson model, in other words, i would take a Poisson model with mean 4.4, instead of 2.2.
