Hommie Delicacies produces two products (Orapine and Banango) from a joint process. The joint cost of production is GH¢80,000. F

ive thousand units of Orapine can be sold at split-off for GH¢20 per unit or processed further at an additional cost of GH¢20,000 and sold for GH¢25 per unit. Ten thousand units of Banango can be sold at split-off for GH¢15 per unit or processed further at an additional cost of GH¢20,000 and sold for GH¢16 per unit. Advise Hommie on further processing each of the products?

Answer:

  • Orapine: do additional processing
  • Banango: no additional processing

Step-by-step explanation:

The processing cost of split-off Orapine units is ...

  GH¢20,000/(5000 units) = GH¢4/unit

The increase in revenue from the further processing is ...

  GH¢25 -GH¢20 = GH¢5

The increased processing cost is less than the increased revenue, so there is additional profit from further processing 5000 units.

__

The processing cost of split-off Banango units is ...

  GH¢20,000/(10000 units) = GH¢2/unit

The increase in revenue from the further processing is ...

  GH¢16 -GH¢15 = GH¢1

The increased processing cost is more than the increased revenue, so the company takes a loss from further processing 10000 units. No additional processing of Banango units should be undertaken.

Roughly 75% of students take the bus to school. If you were to ask 9 students in your class, what is the probability that at mos
GREYUIT [131]

The probability that at most 8 of them take the bus to school is 0.925, written in percentage form this is 92.5%

<h3>How to find the probability?</h3>

We know that roughly 75% of the students take the bus, then, if we select a student at random.

  • There is a probability of 0.75 that the student takes the bus.
  • There is a probability of 0.25 that the student does not take the bus.

The probability that at most 8 out of 9 students take the bus, is equal to one minus the probability of the 9 taking the bus, which is:

p = (0.75)^9 = 0.075

Then we have:

P = 1 - 0.075 = 0.925

The probability that at most 8 of them take the bus to school is 0.925, written in percentage form this is 92.5%

A new test to detect TB has been designed. It is estimated that 88% of people taking this test have the disease. The test detect
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Correct option: (a) 0.1452

Step-by-step explanation:

The new test designed for detecting TB is being analysed.

Denote the events as follows:

<em>D</em> = a person has the disease

<em>X</em> = the test is positive.

The information provided is:

P(D)=0.88\\P(X|D)=0.97\\P(X^{c}|D^{c})=0.99

Compute the probability that a person does not have the disease as follows:

P(D^{c})=1-P(D)=1-0.88=0.12

The probability of a person not having the disease is 0.12.

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does have the disease as follows:

P(X^{c}\cap D)=P(X^{c}|D)P(D)\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times P(D)\\=[1-0.97]\times 0.88\\=0.03\times 0.88\\=0.0264

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative but does not have the disease as follows:

P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})=P(X^{c}|D^{c})P(D^{c})\\=[1-P(X|D)]\times{1- P(D)]\\=0.99\times 0.12\\=0.1188

Compute the probability that a randomly selected person is tested negative  as follows:

P(X^{c})=P(X^{c}\cap D)+P(X^{c}\cap D^{c})

           =0.0264+0.1188\\=0.1452

Thus, the probability of the test indicating that the person does not have the disease is 0.1452.
