Answer:
C) The expected value is -$2000, so the detective should not take the job.
Step-by-step explanation:
The expected value is the sum of products of income and probability:
E = -10,000·1.00 + 80,000·0.10 = -10,000 +8,000 = -2,000
The detective can be expected to lose money on the job, so should not take it.
The greates amount of pieces he would be able to use would be 9 because 8 divided by 5/6= 9 and 3/5.the 3/5 piece is too short.
Answer: 2.4 pounds of the type of nut that sells for $3.00/lb and 4.8 pounds of the type of nut that sells for $5.40/lb would be needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pounds of the type of nut that sells for $3.00/lb that you would need.
Let y represent the number of pounds of the type of nut that sells for $5.40/lb that you would need.
You would like to have 7.2 lbs of a nut mixture. It means that
x + y = 7.2
The mixture would sell for $4.60/lb. It means that the cost of the mixture would be
4.6 × 7.2 = $33.12
This means that
3x + 5.4y = 33.12- - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 7.2 - y Intl equation 1, it becomes
3(7.2 - y) + 5.4y = 33.12
21.6 - 3y + 5.4y = 33.12
- 3y + 5.4y = 33.12 - 21.6
2.4y = 11.52
y = 11.52/2.4
y = 4.8
x = 7.2 - y = 7.2 - 4.8
x = 2.4
This is just the number of permutations of the set {0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2}. There are 9 elements in the set, so there are 9! = 362,880 possible ternary strings with exactly 3 each of 0, 1, and 2.
