Answer:

The probability that the first two electric toothbrushes sold are defective is 0.016.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event, say <em>E </em>occurring is:

P (E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}

Here,

n (E) = favorable outcomes

N = total number of outcomes

Let <em>X</em> = number of defective electric toothbrushes sold.

The number of electric toothbrushes that were delivered to a store is, <em>n</em> = 20.

Number of defective electric toothbrushes is, <em>x</em> = 3.

The number of ways to select two toothbrushes to sell from the 20 toothbrushes is:

{20\choose 2}=\frac{20!}{2!(20-2)!}=\frac{20!}{2!\times 18!}=\frac{20\times 19\times 18!}{2!\times 18!}=190

The number of ways to select two defective toothbrushes to sell from the 3 defective toothbrushes is:

{3\choose 2}=\frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!}=\frac{3!}{2!\times 1!}=3

Compute the probability that the first two electric toothbrushes sold are defective as follows:

P (Selling 2 defective toothbrushes) = Favorable outcomes ÷ Total no. of outcomes

                                                            =\frac{3}{190}\\

                                                            =0.01579\\\approx0.016

Thus, the probability that the first two electric toothbrushes sold are defective is 0.016.

Explain how you know the number of decimal places that should be in the product when you multiply two decimal numbers together.
Butoxors [25]
When you multiply a decimal with a decimal, you just multiply like you would with whole numbers. Then, you count the numbers to the right of the decimal for both multiplicand an multiplier. If the equation was 8.374 x 1.234, then you would put the decimal 6 spots to the left of the product. For the first step of solving this is just multiply like and decimal is not there. The answer would be 10333516. Then you count the number right of the multiplicand and the multiplier. In total there is 6 numbers, so you put the decimal 6 spots to the right. The end result would be 10.333516. Hope this helped!

A rose garden can be planted for $4000. The marginal cost of growing a rose is estimated to $0.30,
wariber [46]

Answer:

C(x)=4000+0.3x

R(x)=1.75x

Profit= 1.45x-4000

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A rose garden can be planted for $4000.

The marginal cost of growing a rose is estimated to $0.30,

Let x be the number of roses

So, Marginal cost of growing x roses = 0.3x

Total cost = 4000+0.3x

So, Cost function : C(x)=4000+0.3x ---A

Now we are given that the total revenue from selling 500 roses is estimated to $875

So, Marginal revenue = \frac{\text{Total revenue}}{\text{No. of roses}}

Marginal revenue = \frac{875}{500}

Marginal revenue = 1.75

Marginal revenue for x roses  = 1.75x

So, Revenue function =  R(x)=1.75x ----B

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Profit= 1.75x-4000-0.3x

Profit= 1.45x-4000  ---C

Now Plot A , B and C on Graph

C(x)=4000+0.3x  -- Green

R(x)=1.75x  -- Purple

Profit= 1.45x-4000  --- Black
