Let x represent the amount of frozen yogurt (in hundreds of gallons) sold by the G&T restaurant on any day during the summer

musickatia [10]

Answer:

a) The probability of selling less than 100 gallons (x≤1) is P=0.16.

b) The mean number of gallons is M=80 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of selling x, in hundred of gallons, on any day during the summer is y(x)=0.32x, in a range for x from [0;2.5].

The probability of selling less than 100 gallons (x≤1) is then:

$P(x\leq1)=\int_0^{100}0.32x\cdot dx\\\\P(x\leq1)=0.16(x_b^2-x_a^2)\\\\P(x\leq1)=0.16(1^2-0^2)=0.16$

The mean number of gallons can be calculated as:

$M=\int_0^{2.5}(y(x)/x)\cdot dx=\int_0^{2.5}(0.32)\cdot dx\\\\M=0.32(x_b-x_a)=0.32(2.5-0)=0.32*2.5=0.8$

What's 4.88 rounded to the nearest tenth......

Ugo [173]

The first decimal point is tenth. 4.88
when rounding, we just look at the number right after the number you want to round to. it's 8 right? since 8 is closer to 10 than 0,
we round it to 4.9
(4.8 + 0.10)
