Answer:
a) 240 ways
b) 12 ways
c) 108 ways
d) 132 ways
e) i) 0.55
ii) 0.4125
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the components:
Receiver, compound disk player, speakers, turntable.
Then a purcahser is offered a choice of manufacturer for each component:
Receiver: Kenwood, Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Sherwood => 5 offers
Compact disc player: Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Technics => 4 offers
Speakers: Boston, Infinity, Polk => 3 offers
Turntable: Onkyo, Sony, Teac, Technics => 4 offers
a) The number of ways one component of each type can be selected =
b) If both the receiver and compact disk are to be sony.
In the receiver, the purchaser was offered 1 Sony, also in the CD(compact disk) player the purchaser was offered 1 Sony.
Thus, the number of ways components can be selected if both receiver and player are to be Sony is:
c) If none is to be Sony.
Let's exclude Sony from each component.
Receiver has 1 sony = 5 - 1 = 4
CD player has 1 Sony = 4 - 1 = 3
Speakers had 0 sony = 3 - 0 = 3
Turntable has 1 sony = 4 - 1 = 3
Therefore, the number of ways can be selected if none is to be sony:
d) If at least one sony is to be included.
Number of ways can a selection be made if at least one Sony component is to be included =
Total possible selections - possible selections without Sony
= 240 - 108
= 132 ways
e) If someone flips switches on the selection in a completely random fashion.
i) Probability of selecting at least one Sony component=
Possible selections with at least one sony / Total number of possible selections
ii) Probability of selecting exactly one sony component =
Possible selections with exactly one sony / Total number of possible selections.
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the minimum amount of items, x, that need to be sold for the manufacturer to make a profit, we can use the quadratic formula
In context of the problem, we can only rely on the positive value, as the negative value would lead to a loss of profit.
Furthermore, we must round to the nearest whole number, as you cannot make part of an item.
Lastly, if you were to plug in 14 into the equation for Profit, you would still have a negative number (i.e. a negative profit), thus requiring the manufacturer to make no less than 15 items to make a profit:
