Answer:

<h2>Each donut costs $1.50.</h2><h2>The cost per unit of dánishes is 89 cents.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • Bill bought 3 dánishes and 8 donuts for $14.67.
  • Mary Ann bought 7 of each for $16.73.

Let's call d dánishes and f donuts.

Bill's purchase can be expressed as

3d+8f=14.67

Mary's purchase can be expressed as

7d+7f=16.73

Let's isolate d from the first equation

3d+8f=14.67\\3d=14.67-8f\\d=\frac{14.67-8f}{3}

Then, we substitute this equivalence in the second equation

7d+7f=16.73\\7(\frac{14.67-8f}{3})+7f=16.73\\\frac{102.69-56f}{3} +7f=16.73\\\frac{102.69-56f+21f}{3}=16.73\\ 102.69-35f=50.19\\-35f=50.19-102.69\\f=\frac{-52.5}{-35}\\ f=1.50

Each donut costs $1.50.

Then, we use this value to find the other one.

3d+8f=14.67\\3d+8(1.50)=14.67\\3d+12=14.67\\3d=14.67-12\\d=\frac{2.67}{3}\\ d=0.89

The cost per unit of dánishes is 89 cents.

Answer:

donuts cost $1.5

danishes cost $1.57

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a typical 2-equation syestem with 2 unknown variables problem. Lets find out which are our equations and unknowns.

Bill ought 3 danishes and 8 filled donuts for ​$14.67. Lets call d the price of donuts and c the price of danishes. We can then write Bill expenditures as an equation (I will omit $ symbol for simplicity):

3 c + 8 d = 14.67 [eq 1]

Now we can do the same for Mary's expenditures, as she bought 7 of each for ​$16.73:

7 c + 7 d = 16.73 [eq. 2]

Now, lets take eq. 1 and try to get the value of one of the variables, for example c, as function of the other -in this case, d. Notice you could also do this with eq. 2.

So:

3 c + 8 d = 14.67

Subtract 8d in both sides:

3c = 14.67 - 8d

Now, divide both sides by 3:

c = (14.67 - 8d)/3

So, we have c in function of d. Now, replace this value in eq 2:

7*(14.67 - 8d)/3 + 7 d = 16.73

(7/3)*(14.67 - 8d) + 7d = 16.73

Applying distributive:

(7/3)*14.67 - (7/3)*8d + 7d = 16.73

34.23 - 18.67d + 7d = 16.73

34.23 - 11.67d = 16.73

Now, subtract 34.23 in both sides:

-11.67 d = -17.5

Dividing both sides by -11.67

d = 1.50

So, every donuts costs $1.5. If we replace this value in any of the equations of the system we get c. Lets replace in eq. 1:

3 c + 8 d = 14.67

3 c + 8*1.5 = 3c + 12 = 14.67

Subtract 12 in both sides:

3c = 4.67

Divide by 3 in both sides:

c = 1.57

Important: notice that the results may variate in some decimals or less depending on how many numbers after the coma you use. For example, d is really 1.49957155098543 but I used 1.50, if you are more precise and use 1.49957 you results may variate a little but not significantly.

So, c=1.57 and d=1.50 is the solution. A donuts cost $1.5 and a danish $1.57.

Travelers who fail to cancel their hotel reservations when they have no intention of showing up are commonly referred to as no-s
notsponge [240]

Answer:

a) 0.0523 = 5.23% probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows.

b) 0 is the most likely value for X.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each traveler who made a reservation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they show up, or they do not. The probability of a traveler showing up is independent of other travelers. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

No-show rate of 10%.

This means that p = 0.1

Four travelers who have made hotel reservations in this study.

This means that n = 4

a) What is the probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows?

This is P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{2} = 0.0486

P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.0036

P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{0} = 0.0001

P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0486 + 0.0036 + 0.0001 = 0.0523

0.0523 = 5.23% probability that at least two of the four selected will turn to be no-shows.

b) What is the most likely value for X?

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{4} = 0.6561

P(X = 1) = C_{4,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{3} = 0.2916

P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{2} = 0.0486

P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.0036

P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.1)^{4}.(0.9)^{0} = 0.0001

X = 0 has the highest probability, which means that 0 is the most likely value for X.
