At a certain coffee shop, all the customers buy a cup of coffee and some also buy a doughnut. The shop owner believes that the n

umber of cups he sells each day is normally distributed with a mean of 320 cups and a standard deviation of 20 cups. He also believes that the number of doughnuts he sells each day is independent of the coffee sales and is normally distributed with a mean of 150 doughnuts and a standard deviation of 12. The shop is open every day but Sunday. Assuming day-to-day sales are independent, what?s the probability he?ll sell over 2000 cups of coffee in a week? If he makes a profit of 50 cents on each cup of coffee and 40 cents on each doughnut, can he reasonable expect to have a day?s profit of over $300? Explain. What?s the probability that on any given day he?ll sell a doughnut to more than half of his coffee customers?

Answer:

(1) The probability that the shop owner sells over 2000 cups of coffee in a week is 0.2514.

(2) The shop owner has no reasonable chance to expect earning a profit more than $300.

(3) The probability that the shop owner will sell a doughnut to more than half of his coffee customers is 0.2611.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of cups of coffee sold and <em>Y</em> = number of donuts sold.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with parameters <em>μ</em> = 320 and <em>σ </em>= 20.

The random variable <em>Y</em> follows a Normal distribution with parameters <em>μ</em> = 150 and <em>σ </em>= 12.

The shop owner opens the shop 6 days a week.

(1)

Compute the probability that the shop owner sells over 2000 cups of coffee in a week as follows:

P(X>2000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{2000-(6\times320)}{6\times20})\\=P(Z>0.67)\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the probability that the shop owner sells over 2000 cups of coffee in a week is 0.2514.

(2)

The equation representing the profit earned on selling 1 cup of coffee and 1 doughnut in a day is:

P = 0.5<em>X</em> + 0.4<em>Y</em>

Compute the probability that the shop owner earns more than $300 as profit as follows:

P(Profit>300)=P(\frac{Profit-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{300-((0.5\times320)+(0.4\times150))}{\sqrt{0.5^{2}(20)^{2}+0.4^{2}(12)^{2}}})\\=P(Z>7.21)\\\approx0

The probability of earning a profit more then $300 is approximately 0.

Thus, the shop owner has no reasonable chance to expect earning a profit more than $300.

(3)

The expression representing the statement "he'll sell a doughnut to more than half of his coffee customers" is:

<em>Y</em> > 0.5<em>X</em>

<em>Y</em> - 0.5<em>X</em> > 0

Compute the probability of the event (<em>Y</em> - 0.5<em>X</em> > 0) as follows:

P(Y - 0.5X > 0)=P(\frac{(Y - 0.5X) -\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{0-(150-(0.5\times320}{\sqrt{12^{2}+0.5^{2}20^{2}}})\\=P(Z>0.64)\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the probability that the shop owner will sell a doughnut to more than half of his coffee customers is 0.2611.

Negative exponents 3-3 x 3-2
patriot [66]

Answer:

3^-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you multiply exponents, you add the values. Negative two plus negative three results in an answer of negative five. This will be the power. You will end up with 3^-5 as your answer.

Solve the following system of equations algebraically:<br> y = x2 - 6x + 9<br> y = -9x + 19
Ratling [72]
{(-5,64), (2,1)}

linear equation: y = -9x + 19
quadratic equation: y = x² - 6x + 9

Substitute the y in the quadratic equation by the its value in the linear equation.

-9x + 19 = x² - 6x + 9
      -  19               - 19    *subtract 19 to both sides
-9x         = x² - 6x -10
+9x              + 9x            *add 9x to both sides
0            = x² + 3x - 10
0            = (x + 5) (x - 2) *Factor

Set each factor = 0 and solve
x + 5 = 0    ;      x - 2 = 0
x = -5         ;      x = 2

Find the corresponding value of y using the linear equation.
y = -9x + 19

x = -5                              x = 2
y = -9(-5) + 19               y = -9(2) + 19
y = 45 + 19                    y = -18 + 19
y = 64                            y = 1

(-5,64)                              (2,1)

Check each value on each equation.
y = x² - 6x + 9
(-5,64)                                                  (2,1)
64 = (-5)² - 6(-5) + 9                          1 = 2² - 6(2) + 9
64 = 25 + 30 + 9                                1 = 4 - 12 + 9
64 = 64                                               1 = 1

y = -9x + 19
64 = -9(-5) + 19                                  1 = -9(2) + 19
64 = 45 + 19                                      1 = -18 + 19
64 = 64                                              1 = 1

If the measure of angle 4 is (11 x) degrees and angle 3 is (4 x) degrees, what is the measure of angle 3 in degrees?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 4 × Angle 3 = 90

Complementary angles

11x + 4x = 90

15x = 90

x = 6

Angle 3 = 4x = 4(6) = 24°
