A fast-food restaurant has determined that the chance a customer will order a soft drink is 0.90. The proba- bility that a custo

mer will order a hamburger is 0.60. The probability that a customer will order french fries is 0.50. a) If a customer places an order, what is the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries if those two events are independent? b) The restaurant has also determined that if a customer orders a hamburger, the probability the customer will order fries is 0.80. Determine the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries.

Answer:

(a) The probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries is 0.45.

(b) The probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries is 0.48.

Explanation:

Let the events be denoted as follows:

S = an order of soft drink

H = an order of hamburger

F = an order of french fries.

Given:

P (S) = 0.90

P (H) = 0.60

P (F) = 0.50

(a)

It is provided that the event of ordering a soft drink and fries are independent.

If events A and B are independent then the probability of event (A ∩ B) is:

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)

Compute the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries as follows:

P(S\cap \bar F)=P(S)\times P(\bar F)\\=P(S)\times[1-P(F)]\\=0.90\times (1-0.50)\\=0.45

Thus, the probability that the order will include a soft drink and no fries is 0.45.

(b)

It is provided that the conditional probability that a customer will order fries given that he/she has already ordered a hamburger as, P (F|H) = 0.80.

The conditional probability of an event B given another event A has already occurred is:

P(B|A)=\frac{P(A\cap B}{P(A)}

Compute the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries as follows:

P(F|H)=\frac{P(H\cap F)}{P(H)}\\P(H\cap F)=P(F|H)\times P(H)\\=0.80\times 0.60\\=0.48

Thus, the probability that the order will include a hamburger and fries is 0.48.

“If the minimum wage rate is higher than the equilibrium wage rate, fewer people will be hired because the cost of labor is too
icang [17]

If the minimum wage rate is higher than the equilibrium wage rate, fewer people will be hired because the cost of labor is too high. I agree.

Explanation:

  • If the minimum wage is set above the equilibrium wage rate, it has powerful effects. The Labor Market and the Minimum Wage The equilibrium wage rate is $4 an hour. The minimum wage rate is set at $5 an hour. So the equilibrium wage rate is in the illegal region
  • If the minimum wage is set below the equilibrium wage rate, it has no effect. The market works as if there were no minimum wage. If the minimum wage is set above the equilibrium wage rate, it has powerful effects.
  • The equilibrium market wage rate is at the intersection of the supply and demand for labour. Employees are hired up to the point where the extra cost of hiring an employee is equal to the extra sales revenue from selling their output.
  • When the labor market is in equilibrium, the economy is at full employment.

erastova [34]
If Chloe did not pay off the loan, she will payout 263.75 x 12 = $3165.00 

However, if Chloe pays off the loan with the sixth payment, she will pay out (263.75 x 5) + 1,786.20 = $3,086.95.

But the question is how much will she save? To get the answer just follow this:  3165.00 - 3086.95 = $78.05 

Therefore, Chloe saves $78.05

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The answer is: Taylorism

Explanation:

Frederick Winslow Taylor and Henry Fayol are considered the "fathers" of management theory, but had opposing views on how businesses should work and be organized. Taylor was responsible for developing the Scientific Management theory (Taylorism) and led the Efficiency Movement.

He was obsessed with increasing labor productivity. Most of his theories are considered archaic now, but he was the first man to really try to understand this concept. Most of his ideas still serve as a basis for modern management and some companies like McDonald's still follow several of his basic concepts like work specialization.

Suppose that the spot price of the US dollar is 1 ($/Canadian dollar) and the one-year forward rate is 1.2 ($/Canadian dollar),
natima [27]

Answer:

6 percent.

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will take help of the Fisher equation,

Therefore,

(Spot rate/Forward rate) = (interest rate in US/Interest rate in Canada),

(1/1.2) = (0.05/x), Now solving for 'x'.

There fore,

x = (1.2 * 0.05) / 1

x = 0.06.

Hope this clear things up

Thankyou.
