In Spetember of 2013, Mario The Baker introduced a new chocolate cake and hired Doug and Jeremy to bake these cakes. Every custo

mer buying this new chocolate cake either gives it a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down".

Answer:

There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 70% probability that Doug bakes the cake.

A 30% probability that Jeremy bakes the cake.

A 40% probability that a cake baked by Doug gets a thumbs up.

A 10% that a cake baked by Jeremy gets a thumbs up.

One cake was selected at random on 10/01/2014 and got a "thumbs up".

1. Find the probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

The probability that a baked cake gets a thumbs up is:

P = 0.7*0.4 + 0.3*0.10 = 0.31

Of those, 0.7*0.4 = 0.28 are baked by Doug.

So the probability is:

P = \frac{0.28}{0.31} = 0.9032

There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of shirts.

Let y represent the number of caps.

Eight friends started a business. They will wear either a baseball cap or a shirt imprinted with their logo while working. This means that

c + y = 8 - - - - - - - - - - -1

They want to spend exactly $36 on the shirts and caps. Shirts cost $6 each and caps cost $3 each. This means that

6c + 3y = 36 - - - - - - - - - - 2

STatiana [176]

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have three groups of cookies as follows:

24   oatmeal

36   vanilla bean

42  chocolate chip

If we breack down into factors we get

24    2       24 = 2³ * 3        36    2   36 = 2²*3³         42   2   42 = 2*3*7

12     2                                 18    2                              21   3

6      2                                   9    3                                7   7

3      3                                   3    3                                1

1                                             1

Fom where we can get that biggest common factor is 6

24 ÷  6      =  4

36 ÷  6      =  6

42 ÷  6      =  7

Then Bakery will have  4 groups of oatmeal cookies, 6 of vanilla bean, and 7 chocolate chip
