Step-by-step answer:

The steps are much easier to follow when we know how many product it sells. The number does not really matter, because we need the profit per item.

Say, the company made and sold 100 items of the product.

The revenue = 100*5 = $500.

On the average, 2 out of 100 are defective and need to be replaced at a cost of $100 each, so

replacement cost = 2* 100 = 200

So net profit for 100 items = $500 -$200 = $300

Net profit for each item = $300/100 = $3.00

Remark: since the product is replaced, no refund is necessary, so revenue stays at $300.

Mathswatch Question! Mr Powers checks his electricity bill. Here are his meter readings. New reading: 6538 units, Old reading: 6

Answer:

$Cost = 284 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Old = 6245\ units$

$New = 6538\ units$

Required

The cost of units used

First, calculate the number of units used.

$Units = New - Old$

$Units = 6538 - 6254$

$Units = 284$

Next, multiply the units used by the cost per units,

Since the cost per unit is not given, we assume that it is x.

So, the total cost is:

$Cost = Units * Cost\ per\ units$

$Cost = 284 * x$

$Cost = 284 x$

The accompanying data represent the actual amount (in mL) poured into a short, wide glass for individuals asked to pour 44.3 mL

kherson [118]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data below :

x : 89.3 68.6 32.7 37.3 39.7 46.7 66.1 79.4 66.4 52.1 47.3 64.4 53.7 63.4 46.2 63.0 92.1 57.6

Mean(m) = ΣX / n

ΣX = 1066 ; n = number of observations = 18

Mean(m) = 1066 / 18

Mean = 59.22

Standard deviation (σ) :

Using the online standard deviation calculator :

σ = √(Σ(x - m)²/n-1)

σ = √264.198395

σ = 16.72

The mean amount poured into a glass for the 18 samples is 59.22 while the variation in the data samples from the mean value is 16.72.

typical amount poured into a short, wide glass is 19.7 mL. A typical deviation from the mean amount poured is_____mL.

(59.22 - 19.7) mL = 39.52mL

Mean amount poured into a tall slender glass = 51.283

Mean (short wide glass) = 59.22mL

Mean (tall slender glass) = 51.283mL

Short wide glass > tall slender glass
