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". Based on the data accumulated between 10/2013 and 9/2014, we know that 40% of the cakes baked by Doug gets a "thumbs up", while only 10% of those baked by Jeremy gets a "thumbs up". About 70% of the cakes are baked by Doug. 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.

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.

In Problems 23–30, use the given zero to find the remaining zeros of each function
Talja [164]

Answer:

x =  2i, x = -2i and x = 4 are the roots of given polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following expression in the question:

f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2+ 4x - 16

One of the zeroes of the above polynomial is 2i, that is :

f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2+ 4x - 16\\f(2i) = (2i)^3 - 4(2i)^2+ 4(2i) - 16\\= -8i+ 16+8i-16 = 0

Thus, we can write

(x-2i)\text{ is a factor of polynomial }x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16

Now, we check if -2i is a root of the given polynomial:

f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2+ 4x - 16\\f(-2i) = (-2i)^3 - 4(-2i)^2+ 4(-2i) - 16\\= 8i+ 16-8i-16 = 0

Thus, we can write

(x+2i)\text{ is a factor of polynomial }x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16

Therefore,

(x-2i)(x+2i)\text{ is a factor of polynomial }x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16\\(x^2 + 4)\text{ is a factor of polynomial }x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16

Dividing the given polynomial:

\displaystyle\frac{x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16}{x^2+4} = x -4

Thus,

(x-4)\text{ is a factor of polynomial }x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16

X = 4 is a root of the given polynomial.

f(x) = x^3 - 4x^2+ 4x - 16\\f(4) = (4)^3 - 4(4)^2+ 4(4) - 16\\= 64-64+16-16 = 0

Thus, 2i, -2i and 4 are the roots of given polynomial.

A movie rental website charges $5.00 per month for membership and $1.25 per movie.How many movies did Andrew rent this month if
Oksanka [162]
So to start subtract $5 from $16.25 for the monthly membership
That gives you $11.25
So then you Just divide...
$11.25 divided by $1.25
which gives you 9
So bill rented 9 movies for the month

Hope this helped! :)
