A tech company bought a number of computers for its employees: 66 costing \$1600$1600 each, 44 costing \$1200$1200 each, and yy

daser333 [38]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

A tech company bought a number of computers for its employees: 6 costing $1600 each, 4 costing $1200 each, and y costing $900 each, where y is a positive odd integer. what is the greatest possible value of y

Solution:

The median of a group of numbers is the middle number when the group of numbers have been arranged either in ascending of descending other. The median of an even group of numbers is the average of the two most middle most numbers while the median of an odd group of numbers is the middle number.

Since there are 6 computers costing $1600, 4 computers costing $1200 each and y computers costing $900 each. Since y is odd, hence y + 6 + 4 would be odd and the median would be the middle number.

Given that the median price = $1200, this means that the middle of the group of numbers is $1200

900, 900, ..., 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

Since y is odd, for the median price to be $1200, y has to be 3 or 5.

If y = 3:

900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

median = $1200

If y = 5:

900, 900, 900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

Median = $1200

Therefore the greatest possible value of y is 5

What is the equation of a parabola with a directrix of y=2 and a focus point of 0,-2

KiRa [710]

Hope this helped. :)

Any point, (x0,y0)(x0,y0) on the parabola satisfies the definition of parabola, so there are two distances to calculate:

Distance between the point on the parabola to the focusDistance between the point on the parabola to the directrix

To find the equation of the parabola, equate these two expressions and solve for y0y0 .

Find the equation of the parabola in the example above.

Distance between the point (x0,y0)(x0,y0) and (a,b)(a,b) :

(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2

Distance between point (x0,y0)(x0,y0) and the line y=cy=c :

∣∣y0−c∣∣| y0−c |

(Here, the distance between the point and horizontal line is difference of their yy -coordinates.)

Equate the two expressions.

(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√=∣∣y0−c∣∣(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2=| y0−c |

Square both sides.

(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2=(y0−c)2(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2=(y0−c)2

Expand the expression in y0y0 on both sides and simplify.

(x0−a)2+b2−c2=2(b−c)y0(x0−a)2+b2−c2=2(b−c)y0

This equation in (x0,y0)(x0,y0) is true for all other values on the parabola and hence we can rewrite with (x,y)(x,y) .

Therefore, the equation of the parabola with focus (a,b)(a,b) and directrix y=cy=c is

(x−a)2+b2−c2=2(b−c)y

Out of 431 applicants for a job, 142 have over 5 years of experience and 103 have over 5 years of experience and have a graduate

Savatey [412]

Answer:

0.2390

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total applicants = 431
Applicants with graduate degree and over 5 years of experience = 103

Probability = favorable outcomes/total outcomes

Required probability

103/431 = 0.2390 rounded to 4 decimal places
