Answer:

The cost of each notebook is $3 and the cost of each thumb drive is $14.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question we will attribute variables to the notebook and thumb drive. The price of a notebook we will call "x" and the price of a thumb drive will be "y". We now can create equations that represents the total amount spent by each person on these items. To do that we need to take the amount of each item that was bought and multiply it by it's price.

For Troy:

4*x + 6*y = 96

For Lisa:

2*x + 4*y = 62

We now have a system of equations and we can solve them by isolate one of he variables in one of the equations and using that value on the other. Using the second equation we have:

2*x + 4*y = 62

4*y = 62 - 2*x

y = 15.5 - 0.5*x

Using this expression on the first equation:

4*x + 6*(15.5 - 0.5*x) = 96

4*x + 93 - 3*x = 96

x = 96 - 93 = 3

We can now find the value of y:

y = 15.5 - 0.5*(3) = 14

The cost of each notebook is $3 and the cost of each thumb drive is $14.

A printer toner company launches a new product. The number of pages that this new toner can print is normally distributed with a
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of pages that this new toner can print is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = the number of pages.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 2300 pages

σ = 150 pages

1)

the probability that this toner can print more than 2100 pages is expressed as

P(x > 2100) = 1 - P(x ≤ 2100)

For x = 2100,

z = (2100 - 2300)/150 = - 1.33

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.092

P(x > 2100) = 1 - 0.092 = 0.908

2) P(x < 2200)

z = (x - µ)/σ/√n

n = 10

z = (2200 - 2300)/150/√10

z = - 100/47.43 = - 2.12

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.017

P(x < 2200) = 0.017

3) for underperforming toners, the z score corresponding to the probability value of 3%(0.03) is

- 1.88

Therefore,

- 1.88 = (x - 2300)/150

150 × - 1.88 = x - 2300

- 288 = x - 2300

x = - 288 + 2300

x = 2018

The threshold should be

x < 2018 pages
