A gallon of gas costs:
- $4.00 if paid by card,
- $3.50 if paid by cash.
0.2  * 4.00 + 0.8 * 3.50 = 0.8 + 2.8 = $3.60
Answer:
The expected revenue for a gallon of gas is $3.60.

Answer: The expected revenue for a gallon of gas sold at this station is $3.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Percentage of people who pays by credit card = 20% =x_1= 0.2

Percentage of people who pays by cash = x_2= 80% = 0.8

Cost of a gallon of gas paid by card =p(x_1) = $4.00

Cost of a gallon of gas paid by cash = p(x_2)=$ 3.50

So, Expected revenue for a gallon of gas sold at this station is given by

E(x)=\sum xp(x)

so, it becomes,

E(x)=0.2\times 4+0.8\times 3.5\\\\E(x)=0.8+2.8\\\\E(x)=\$3.60

Hence, the expected revenue for a gallon of gas sold at this station is $3.60.

zysi [14]

Answer:

About 3891 people saw that movie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Day 1: 985 people

Day 2: (985*8)/10 (20% gone) = 788

Day 3: (788*8)/10 (20% gone) = 630.4

Day 4: (630.4*8)/10 (20% gone) = 504.32

Day 5: (504.32*8)/10 (20% gone) = 403.456

Day 6: (403.456*8)/10 (20% gone) = 322.7648

Day 7: (322.7648*8)/10 (20% gone) = 258.21184

Adding this up:

985+788+630.4+504.32+403.456+322.7648+258.21184=

985+788+630+504+403+323+258=3891

Solve the equation for the indicated variable.<br>1. y= 3/8 (x+4) for x​
madam [21]

Answer:

x=8y/3-4

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have to do to solve for X into re arrange the equation so that X is by itself on one side of the equation.  To start we will divide both sides by 3/8 to move it away from the X side and we get

8y/3=x+4 then we will subtract both sides by 4 to get x all by itself

8y/3-4=x

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
