To determine the probability that exactly two of the five marbles are blue, we will use the rule of multiplication. 

Let event A = the event that the first marble drawn is blue; and let B = the event that the second marble drawn is blue. 
To start, it is given that there are 50 marbles, 20 of them are blue.  Therefore, P(A) = 20/50
After the first selection, there are 49 marbles left, 19 of them are blue. Therefore, P(A|B) = 19/49
Based on the rule of multiplication:P(A ∩ B) = P(A)*P(A|B)P(A ∩ B) =  (20/50) (19/49)P(A ∩ B) = 380/2450P(A ∩ B) = 38/245 or 15.51%

The probability that there will be two blue marbles among the five drawn marbles is 38/245 or 15.51%

We got the 15.51% by dividing 38 by 245. The quotient will be 0.1551. We then multiplied it by 100% resulting to 15.51%

The price p in dollars and the quantity x sold of a certain product obey the demand equation -1/5x+100 (0≤ x ≤ 500)
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We have:</u>

  • p = -1/5x + 100 = -0.2x + 100

a) <u>The revenue is:</u>

  • R = px
  • R = x( -0.2x + 100)
  • R= -0.2x² + 100x

b) <u>x = 200, find R:</u>

  • R = -0.2(200²) + 100(200) = 12000

c) <u>This is a quadratic function and the maximum value is obtained at vertex.</u>

  • x = -100/(-0.2*2) = 250 is the required quantity

d) <u>The max revenue is obtained when -0.2x + 100 at max:</u>

  • The maximum possible is p = 100 when x = 0
