Answer: 7 baskets can hold 17.5 pounds of apples.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that each basket can hold 2.5 pounds of apples.

We are to find the number of pounds that 7 baskets can hold.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

We have

Quantity of apples that 1 basket can hold = 2.5 pounds.

Therefore, the quantity of apples that 7 baskets can hold is given by

$2.5\times7=17.5~\textup{pounds}.$

Thus, 7 baskets can hold 17.5 pounds of apples.

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires. Given its specific needs, the management feels that there is a 50%

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a) 0.9

b) Mean = 1.58

Standard Deviation = 0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires.

Let X be the variable describing the number of hiring in the company.

Thus, x can take values 0,1 ,2 and 3.

$P(x\geq 2) = 50\%= 0.5\\P(x = 0) = 10\% = 0.1\\P(x = 3) = 18\% = 0.18$

a) P(firm will make at least one hire)

$P(x\geq 2) = P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\0.5 = P(x=2) + 0.18\\ P(x=2) = 0.32$

Also,

$P(x= 0) +P(x= 1) + P(x= 2) + P(x= 3) = 1\\ 0.1 + P(x= 1) + 0.32 + 0.18 = 1\\ P(x= 1) = 1- (0.1+0.32+0.18) = 0.4$

$\text{P(firm will make at least one hire)}\\= P(x\geq 1)\\=P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\ = 0.4 + 0.32 + 0.18 = 0.9$

b) expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.

$E(X) = \displaystyle\sum x_iP(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 2(0.32)+3(0.18) = 1.58$

$E(x^2) = \displaystyle\sum x_i^2P(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 4(0.32) +9(0.18) = 3.3\\V(x) = E(x^2)-[E(x)]^2 = 3.3-(1.58)^2 = 0.80\\\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{V(x)} = \sqrt{0.8036} = 0.89$

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

2(5)+2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

if a = 5 and b=2,

you add it into the expression.

2a + b -3 --> 2(5) + 2 - 3

all you have to do is replace the letters with the (given) numbers.

then, solve.

2(5) = 10

2-3= 1

10+1 =11

the answer is 11.
