Jim decides to start a small nonprofit business of renting out motor scooters to help out his area residents. He puts in his own

money and buys 5 motor scooters, each priced at $3,000. He incurs no other costs because he keeps the motor scooters in his own garage. The motor scooters last for 5 years. The number of motor scooters and the probability that they would be rented per month is shown in the table.
Number of Scooters 0         1          2           3            4       5
Probability              1/32     5/32     10/32     10/32     5/32    1/32


At what price per month should Jim rent out a scooter in order to break even?

A) 50
B)150
C)200
D)250
E)300

First, find the expected number of scooters rented per month:

As the data is symmetrical, E(X) (the expected value) is the middle value. So, on average, 2.5 scooters should be taken per month.

His total costs were 5 * 3000 = $15,000

So, to break even, he needs to make $15,000.

He will be selling for 5 years, or 60 months.

As a result, he needs to make 15000/60 = $250/month

As he is selling 2.5 scooters on average, he needs to rent each for:

$250/2.5 = <u>$100/month</u>

Factor and add steps please<br><br> 81u^6+192
attashe74 [19]
ANSWER : (9u - 8)2



STEPS:

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 81 • 64 = 5184

Step-2 : Find two factors of 5184 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -144 .

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -72 and -72
81u2 - 72u - 72u - 64

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
9u • (9u-8)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(9u-8) • (9u-8)
Which is the desired factorization

On a scale drawing inch = 1 foot. What are the dimensions on the scale for a room that is 27 feet by 20 feet?
Rufina [12.5K]
If 1 inch = 1 foot then 1 foot = 1 inch.
With this, you can make a ratio of 1 foot:1 inch, or 1:1.
Starting with the first dimension, 27 feet, just change the 1 to 27 in the ratio.
27:?
To find how many inches this is in the scale drawing, find how much 1 had to be multiplied by to get to 27. This is 27, since anything times 1 is itself.
Just multiply the other side by 27 as well to get the answer for the first dimension.
1 • 27 = 27
So 27 feet = 27 inches in the scale drawing.
Now do the same for the second dimension.
1:1
20:?
1 • 20 = 20
20:20
The answer is that the scale drawing has dimensions of 27 inches by 20 inches if 1 inch = 1 foot is the scale
