Answer:

(a) S = {MR, MJ, MD, MC, RJ, RD, RC, JD, JC, DC}

(b) The probability that Roberto and John attend the​ conference is 0.10.

(c) The probability that Clarice attends the​ conference is 0.40.

(d) The probability that John stays​ home is 0.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that :

Marco (<em>M</em>), Roberto (<em>R</em>), John (<em>J</em>), Dominique (<em>D</em>) and Clarice (<em>C</em>) works for the company.

The company selects two employees randomly to attend a statistics conference.

(a)

There are 5 employees from which the company has to select two employees to send to the conference.

So the total number of ways to select two employees is:

{5\choose 2}=\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}=\frac{5\times 4\times 3!}{2\times 3!}=10

The 10 possible samples are:

MR, MJ, MD, MC, RJ, RD, RC, JD, JC, DC

(b)

The probability of the event <em>E</em> is:

P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}

Here,

n (E) = favorable outcomes

N = Total number of outcomes.

The variable representing the selection of  Roberto and John is, <em>RJ</em>.

The favorable number of outcomes to select Roberto and John is, 1.

The total number of outcomes to select 2 employees is 10.

Compute the probability that Roberto and John attend the​ conference as follows:

P(RJ)=\frac{n(RJ)}{N}=\frac{1}{10}=0.10

Thus, the probability that Roberto and John attend the​ conference is 0.10.

(c)

The favorable outcomes of the event where Clarice attends the conference are:

n (C) = {MC, RC, JC and DC} = 4

Compute the probability that Clarice attends the​ conference as follows:

P(C)=\frac{n(C)}{N}=\frac{4}{10}=0.40

Thus, the probability that Clarice attends the​ conference is 0.40.

(d)

The favorable outcomes of the event where John does not attends the conference are:

n (J') = MR, MD, MC, RD, RC, DC

Compute the probability that John stays​ home as follows:

P(J')=\frac{n(J')}{N}=\frac{6}{10}=0.60

Thus, the probability that John stays​ home is 0.60.

Using the following image, solve for SR. Look at the image closely.
iren [92.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume

SR = 2x + 23

RQ = x + 21

if that is true, then the situation is completely simple :

14 = (2x + 23) + (x + 21) = 3x + 44

3x = -30

x = -10

SR = 2×-10 + 23 = -20 + 23 = 3

RQ = -10 + 21 = 11

2) Find the probability of rolling a 2 or smaller.
Mamont248 [21]

There are 6 numbers in one die.

There are 2 numbers that are less than or equal to 2, they are 1 and 2

The probability of something happening is the number of chances / total number

The probability would be 2/6, which can be reduced to 1/3

Molly's Custom Kitchen Supplies sells handmade forks and spoons. It costs the store $1.70 to buy the supplies to make a fork and
Alika [10]

Answer:

3 spoons were sold last April

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of forks that they made last month.

Let y represent the total number of spoons that they made last month.

It costs the store $1.70 to buy the supplies to make a fork. This means that the cost of making x spoons will be 1.70×x = 1.7x

It costs the store $1.30 to buy the supplies to make a spoon. This means that the cost of making y spoons will be 1.30×y = 1.3y.

Total cost of making x forks and y spoons is 1.7x + 1.3y

Last April Molly's Custom Kitchen Supplies spent $37.90. This means that

1.7x + 1.3y = 37.90 - - - - - - - - - - 1

The store sells forks for $5.60. This means that the total amount for x forks will be 5.60×x = 5.6x

The store sells spoons for $5.40. This means that the total amount for y spoons will be 5.40×y= 5.4y.

Total amount made from selling x forks and y spoons is 5.6x + 5.4y. They sold the finished products for a total of $147.20. This means that

5.6x + 5.4y = 147.20 - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 5.6 and equation 2 by 1.7, it becomes

9.52x + 7.28y = 212.24

9.52x + 9.18y = 250.24

Subtracting

- 1.9x = - 38

x = - 38/- 1.9

x = 20

Substituting x = 20 into equation 1, it becomes

1.7×20 + 1.3y = 37.90

34 + 1.3y = 37.90

1.3y = 37.90- 34 = 3.9

y = 3.9/1.3

y = 3
