Farmers often sell fruits and vegetables at farmers’ markets during the summer. Each tomato stand at the Bentonville farmers’ ma

rket has a daily demand for tomatoes that is approximately normally distributed with a mean equal to 125 tomatoes per day and a standard deviation equal to 30 tomatoes per day. If a stand has 83 tomatoes available to be sold at the beginning of the day, what is the approximate probability that they will all be sold?

Answer:

the probability that all tomatoes are sold is  0.919 (91.9%)

Step-by-step explanation:

since the random variable X= number of tomatoes that are demanded,  is normally distributed we can make the standard random variable Z such that:

Z=(X-μ)/σ = (83 - 125)/30 = -1.4

where μ= expected value of X= mean of X (since X is normally distributed)  , σ=standard deviation of X

then all tomatoes are sold if the demand surpasses 83 tomatos , therefore

P(X>83) = P(Z>-1.4) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4)

from tables of standard normal distribution →P(Z≤-1.4)=0.081 , therefore

P(X>83) = 1- P(Z≤-1.4)  = 1 - 0.081 = 0.919 (91.9%)

thus the probability that all tomatoes are sold is  0.919 (91.9%)

Solve the following System Of Equations Using Substitution or Elimination Methods. Show Work.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

There are two pairs of solutions: (2,7) and (-1,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use substitution.

y = x^2 + 3

y = x +5

Since the second equation is equal to y, replace y in the first equation with the second equation.

y = x^2 + 3

x + 5 = x^2 + 3

Rearrange so that one side is equal to 0.

5 - 3 = x^2 - x

2 = x^2 - x

0 = x^2 - x - 2

You may use quadratic formula or any form of factoring to find the zeros (x values that make the equation equal to 0).

a = 1, b = -1, c = -2

Zeros = \frac{-b + \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac }  }{2a} and \frac{-b - \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac }  }{2a}

Zeros = 2 and -1

Now that you have your x values, plug them into the equations to find their corresponding y values.

y = x^2 + 3

y = (2)^2 + 3

y = 7

Pair #1: (2,7)

y = x^2 + 3

y = (-1)^2 + 3

y = 4

Pair #2: (-1,4)

Therefore, there are two pairs of solutions: (2,7) and (-1,4).
