Why might soft drink companies be interested in the dimensions that give the minimum surface area?

1 answer:

8 0

When surface area is minimized, that means the less material companies would have to use for the can. Companies can spend less money on aluminum for the can and still hold the same amount of that beverage inside the can.

3. From the table below, find Prof. Xin expected value of lateness. (5 points) Lateness P(Lateness) On Time 4/5 1 Hour Late 1/10

wariber [46]

Answer:

The expected value of lateness $\frac{7}{20}$ hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution of lateness is as follows:

Lateness P (Lateness)

On Time 4/5

1 Hour Late 1/10

2 Hours Late 1/20

3 Hours Late 1/20

The formula of expected value of a random variable is:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)$

Compute the expected value of lateness as follows:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)$

$=(0\times \frac{4}{5})+(1\times \frac{1}{10})+(2\times \frac{1}{20})+(3\times \frac{1}{20})\\\\=0+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{3}{20}\\\\=\frac{2+2+3}{20}\\\\=\frac{7}{20}$
