Answer:

a. The expected or average costs for all weekly rat purchases is $20.00

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A mean value of $20.00 means that over a period of 52 weeks, the company can expect to spend $20.00 per week on rat purchases.

b. This is incorrect since individual values don't interfere in the mean. For instance, if half the weeks had a cost of $19.00 and the other half had a cost of $21.00, the mean cost would still be $20.00 even though no particular week had a $20.00 cost

c. Incorrect. The median is the central value in a distribution; the median and the mean are not necessarily the same.

d. Incorrect, same as item b.

A coffee shop collected the following information regarding purchases from 110 of its customers 59 purchased coffee 39 purchased
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Let X be the number of customer purchased coffee

Let Y be the number of customer purchased donuts

Then X\cap Y is the number of customer purchased both coffee and donuts

X\cup Y  is the number of customer purchased both coffee or donuts

<em><u>The Number of customers purchased  only Coffee:</u></em>

Number of customers purchased  only donuts =n(X -Y)

n( X -Y) = n(X) - n(X \cap Y)

n(X-Y) = 59 -16

n(Y - X) = 43

<em><u>The Number of customers purchased  only donuts:</u></em>

Number of customers purchased  only donuts =n(Y -X)

n(Y - X) = n(Y) - n(X \cap Y)

n(Y - X) = 39 -16

n(Y - X) = 23

<u>The Number of customers did not purchase either of these items:</u>

Number of customers did not purchase either of these items = n(X\cup Y)^{\prime}

First lets find   n(X\cup Y)

n(X\cup Y) = n(X) +  n(Y) - n( X \cap Y)

n(X\cup Y) = 59 + 39 - 16

n(X\cup Y)  = 82

n(X\cup Y)^{\prime}  =110 -  n(X\cup Y)  = 28
