Answer:

The chain of supermarkets must order 428.1 gallons of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the random variable X.

X : ''Weekly volume of sales in thousands of gallons''

X is a continuous random variable.

The probability density function for X is

f(x)=7(1-x)^{6} when 0 < x < 1

f(x)=0   Otherwise.

Let's denote as ''a'' to the quantity of milk for the question.

We are looking for :

P(X>a)=0.02

P(X>a)=\int\limits^1_a {f(x)} \, dx

P(X>a)=\int\limits^1_a {7(1-x)^{6}} \, dx

P(X>a)=(1-a)^{7}

(1-a)^{7}=0.02

a=1-\sqrt[7]{0.02}

a=0.4281

a is in thousands of gallons, therefore the chain of supermarkets must order  

428.1 gallons of milk in order to satisfy the question.

Use 3.1 &lt; sqrt 10 &lt;3.2 to find the possible values of each expression. 2+sqrt 10
lilavasa [31]

The inequality which represents possible values of the expression 2+sqrt 10 by virtue of the given inequality; 3.1 < sqrt 10 < 3.2 as in the task content is; 5.1 < 2 + sqrt 10 < 5.2.

<h3>Which inequality correctly expresses the possible values of the expression; 2 + √10 as required in the task content?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the expression given is;

3.1 < sqrt 10 < 3.2

Since the given premises is an inequality, it follows that adding the same number to all parts of the inequality stills holds the inequality true.

Hence by adding 2 to all parts of the inequality, we have;

2 + 3.1 < 2 + sqrt 10 < 2 + 3.2

Therefore, we have;

5.1 < 2 + sqrt 10 < 5.2

Ultimately, 5.1 < 2 + sqrt 10 < 5.2 represent the possible values of the expression 2+sqrt 10 as given by the inequality 3.1 < sqrt 10 < 3.2.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

<h2>1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

15 + 20 / 35

35/35 = 1 (certain)

The probability of choosing a female or senior is 1, because these are the only two groups represented in the class.

I'm always happy to help :)
