The number of customers waiting for gift-wrap service at a department store is an rv X with possible values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and co

rresponding probabilities 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.25, 0.15. A randomly selected customer will have 1, 2, or 3 packages for wrapping with probabilities 0.55, 0.25, and 0.2, respectively. Let Y = the total number of packages to be wrapped for the customers waiting in line (assume that the number of packages submitted by one customer is independent of the number submitted by any other customer). (a) Determine P(X = 3, Y = 3), i.e., p(3,3).

Answer:

P[X=3,Y=3] = 0.0416

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

- X is the RV denoting the no. of customers in line.

- Y is the sum of Customers C.

- Where no. of Customers C's to be summed is equal to the X value.

- Since both events are independent we have:

                         P[X=3,Y=3] = P[X=3]*P[Y=3/X=3]

              P[X=3].P[Y=3/X=3] = P[X=3]*P[C1+C2+C3=3/X=3]

        P[X=3]*P[C1+C2+C3=3/X=3] = P[X=3]*P[C1=1,C2=1,C3=1]        

              P[X=3]*P[C1=1,C2=1,C3=1]  = P[X=3]*(P[C=1]^3)

- Thus, we have:

                        P[X=3,Y=3] = P[X=3]*(P[C=1]^3) = 0.25*(0.55)^3

                        P[X=3,Y=3] = 0.0416

Trig please help
enot [183]

Answer:

One

Step-by-step explanation:

9/sin(34) = 6/sinC

sinC = 0.372795269

C = 21.9, 158.1

Since 158.1 + 34 = 192.1 > 180

It will not form a triangle

So,

Only one triangle with angle 21.9° at C

Write and solve an equation using the constant of proportionality to answer each question.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

15 teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

number of children is c

number of teachers is t

\frac{c}{t} = \frac{14}{3} (rearrange)

t = \frac{3}{14} x C

When C = 70,

t = \frac{3}{14} x 70

t = 15 teachers

2/7x = 10 show work plz
Rashid [163]

Answer:

x = 35

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    2/7*x-(10)=0

                 2

Simplify   —

                  7

  2        

 (— • x) -  10  = 0

  7        

Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  7  as the denominator :

             10             10 • 7

   10 =  ——  =  ——————

               1                 7  

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

           2x - (10 • 7)                       2x - 70

—————————————  =  ———————

                     7                                   7  

Pull out like factors :

  2x - 70  =   2 • (x - 35)

         2 • (x - 35)

 ————————————  = 0

                 7      

When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

      2•(x-35)

 ———————— • 7 = 0 • 7

          7    

Now, on the left hand side, the  7  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  2  •  (x-35)  = 0

Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve  :    x-35 = 0

Add  35  to both sides of the equation :

                     x = 35
