eturns in batches of 12, find the mean and standard deviation for the number of erroneous returns per batch.

Answer:

mean=4.44

standard deviation=1.67

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean and standard deviation for the number of erroneous returns per batch can be calculated using binomial distribution. The binomial distribution is used because

i) There are one of two possible outcomes( error or no error) that can be categorized into success and failure.

ii) The experiment is repeated fix number of times 12.

iii) The probability of success remains constant at each trial i.e. 37%

iv) The trails are independent.The mean and standard deviation of binomial distribution are np and √npq

Here, n=12, p=0.37 and q=1-0.37=0.63

mean=12*0.37=4.44

standard deviation=√12*0.37*0.63=√2.8=1.67

Sutopa has 3/4 of the money Maneet has. Maneet has $18 less than Kim. Together, they have $286.40. How much money does each of t

anastassius [24]

Solving a system of equations we can see:

Sutopa has $73.20
Maneet has $97.60
Kim has $115.60

<h3>How much money each of them has?</h3>

First, let's define the variables:

S = money that Sutopa has.
M = money that Maneet has.
K = money that Kim has.

We can write the system of equations:

S = (3/4)*M

M = K - $18

S + M + K = $286.40

First, we can rewrite the second equation to get:

K = M + $18

Now we can replace the first and second equations into the third one:

(3/4)*M + M + (M + $18) = $286.40

Now we can solve this for M:

M*(1 + 1 + 3/4) = $286.40 - $18

M = $268.40*(4/11) = $97.60

Now we can find the other two values:

K = M + $18 = $97.60 + $18 = $115.60

S = (3/4)*M = (3/4)*$97.60 = $73.20

What is the result of a dilation of scale factor 3 centered at the origin of the line 2y + 3x=10?? PLEASE HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEE

maks197457 [2]

Given:

The equation of a line is:

$2y+3x=10$

The line is dilated by factor 3.

To find:

The result of dilation.

Solution:

The equation of a line is:

$2y+3x=10$

For $x=0$ ,

$2y+3(0)=10$

$2y+0=10$

$y=\dfrac{10}{2}$

$y=5$

For $x=2$ ,

$2y+3(2)=10$

$2y+6=10$

$2y=10-6$

$2y=4$

Divide both sides by 2.

$y=\dfrac{4}{2}$

$y=2$

The given line passes through the two points A(0,5) and B(2,2).

If the line dilated by factor 3 with origin as center of dilation, then

$(x,y)\to (3x,3y)$

Using this rule, we get

$A(0,5)\to A'(3(0),3(5))$

$A(0,5)\to A'(0,15)$

Similarly,

$B(2,2)\to B'(3(2),3(2))$

$B(2,2)\to B'(6,6)$

The dilated line passes through the points A'(0,15) and B'(6,6). So, the equation of dilated line is:

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

$y-15=\dfrac{6-15}{6-0}(x-0)$

$y-15=\dfrac{-9}{6}(x)$

$y-15=\dfrac{-3}{2}x$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$2(y-15)=-3x$

$2y-30=-3x$

$2y+3x=30$

Therefore, the equation of the line after the dilation is $2y+3x=30$ .

Walter buys a bus pass for $30 every time he rides the bus money is deducted from the value of the pass he rode 12 times and $24

klemol [59]

So each time, 24/12 or $2 was deducted per trip

he has 30-24=$6 left

$6/$2=3, he has 3 trips left

I wonder what your question is
