Answer:

a) mean = 20.75

b) variance = 1.6274

c) standard deviation = 1.2757

d) 145 arrangements per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following distribution:

x       19      20    21     22      23

P(x) 0.21  0.22  0.30  0.15    0.12

Mean: Is the average of the data. To find the mean, you need to take every x and multiply it by its corresponding P(x) and sum these values. The result will be the mean.

μ =∑ (x·P(x))

Therefore, in this case we have:

μ = 19(0.21) + 20(0.22) + 21(0.30) + 22(0.15) + 23 (0.12) = 20.75

Thus, the mean is 20.75

Variance: To calculate the variance you need to subtract the mean to every value x, then square the result and multiply it by the probability. Finally, you sum up these results and you get the variance.

In this case we will have

19 - 20.75 = -1.75 ⇒ (-1.75)²(0.21) =<u> 0.6431</u>

20 - 20.75 = -.75 ⇒(0.75)²(0.22) = <u>0.1237</u>

21 - 20.75 = 0.25 ⇒(0.25)²(0.30) = <u>0.0187</u>

22 - 20.75 = 1.25 ⇒(1.25)²(0.15) = <u>0.2344</u>

23 - 20.75 = 2.25 ⇒ (2.25)²(0.12) = <u>0.6075</u>

Now we need to sum up these results:

0.6431 + 0.1237 + 0.0187 + 0.2344 + 0.6075 = 1.6274

The variance is 1.6274.

Standard Deviation: It is the root of the variance.

Therefore, the standard deviation will be √1.6274 = 1.2757

b) How many arrangements should the florist expect to deliver each week, rounded to the nearest whole number?

To answer this question we'll work with the mean, he expects to deliver 20.75 arrangements per day, therefore, per week he'd deliver:

20.75 (7) = 145.25 = 145 arrangements.

You only need two numbers to do that.
The numbers are  16  and  -3 .

           16  -  3  =  13

         (16) x (-3)  =  -48

3c+6=18 how do you work this problem?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

c = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3c + 6 = 18

Reorder the terms:

6 + 3c = 18

Solving

6 + 3c = 18

Solving for variable 'c'.

Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 3c = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 3c = 18 + -6

3c = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 18 + -6 = 12

3c = 12

Divide each side by '3'.

c = 4

Simplifying

c = 4

Mon wants to make 5 lbs of the sugar syrup. How much water and how much sugar does he need to make 75% syrup?
Julli [10]

Answer:

He needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 1.25 lbs of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x lbs be the amount of sugar in the syrup. Then 5-x lbs is the amount of water in this syrup.

Note

5 lbs - 100%

x lbs - 75%

Write a proportion:

\dfrac{5}{x}=\dfrac{100}{75}

Cross multiply:

100x=5\cdot 75\\ \\100x=375\\ \\x=\dfrac{375}{100}=3.75

So, he needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 5 - 3.75 = 1.25 lbs of water.
