Answer:

Pecan cheesecake = $11

Strawberry cheesecake= $19

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will need to set up a system of equations:

Let's call "Pecan cheesecakes" 'x', and

"Strawberry cheesecakes" 'y'.

We can set up the equations once we have our variables:

276= 13x + 7y

295 = 13x +8y

We will need to subtract these equations from each other to get rid of the 'x' variable. This gives us:

295 = 13x+ 8y

276 = 13x+ 7y

19 = y

Therefore, Strawberry cheesecakes cost $19. Plug this into an equation to get the value of 'x':

276= 13x + 7(19)

276 = 13x + 133

143 = 13x

x= $11.

Therefore, Pecan cheesecakes cost $11.

Piravena must make a trip from A to B then from B to C, then from C to A. Each of these three parts of the trip is made entirely

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

a) Cost of flying from A to B = $425

b) Total distance travelled by Piravena during the complete trip = 7,500 km

c) To minimize cost and arrive at the final cost given, she must have travelled by bus from B to C and then travelled by taking an airplane from C to A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is presented in the attached image to this question.

Full Question

a) To begin her trip she flew from A to B. Determine the cost of flying from A to B.

b) Determine the distance she travels for her complete trip.

c) Piravena chose the least expensive way to travel between cities and her total cost was $1012.50. Given that she flew from A to B, determine her method of transportation from B to C and her method of transportation from C to A.

Solution

a) The distance from A to B is given as 3250 km.

To take an airplane, it costs her a $100 booking fee, plus $0.10 per kilometer.

So, to fly 3250 km, she will pay

100 + (0.10×3250) = $425

b) For her complete journey, she is to make a trip from A to B then from B to C, then from C to A.

Her complete distance travelled = AB + BC + CA

But it is given that the three cities form a right angled triangle as given in the question with AB serving as the hypotenuse side.

Pythagoras theorem gives that the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of the respective squares of the other two sides

AB² = BC² + CA²

3250² = BC² + 3000²

BC² = 3250² - 3000² = 1,562,500

BC = √1,562,500 = 1,250 km

Total distance covered by Piravena during the entire trip = AB + BC + CA = 3250 + 1250 + 3000 = 7,500 km

c) Her total cost of travel = $1012.50

But she definitely flew from A to B at a cost of $425

This means she spent (1012.50 - 425) on the rest of the journey, that is, $587.5

Note that to travel by bus, it is $0.15 per kilometre and to travel by airplane is $100 + $0.10 per kilometre. Indicating that the airplane saves cost on long distance travels while the bus saves cost on short distance travels.

To confirm this, we calculate the two options (bus or airplane) for each route.

If she travels B to C by bus, cost = 0.15 × 1250 = $187.5

If she travels B to C by airplane, cost = 100 + (0.10×1250) = $225

Hence, the bus obviously minimizes cost here.

If she travels from C to A by bus, cost = 0.15 × 3000 = $450

If she travels from C to A by airplane, cost = 100 + (0.10×3000) = $400

Here, travelling by airplane minimizes the cost.

So, if we confirm now that she travelled from B to C by bus and then from C to A by airplane, total cost = 187.5 + 400 = $587.5

which is the remaining part of her total cost is she minimized expenses!

Hope this Helps!!!

An example problem in a Statistics textbook asked to find the probability of dying when making a skydiving jump.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

(a) 0.999664

(b) 15052

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data of recent years, there were about 3,000,000 skydiving jumps and 21 of them resulted in deaths.

So, the probability of death is $\frac{21}{3000000}==0.000007$ .

Assuming, this probability holds true for each skydiving and does not change in the present time.

So, as every skydiving is an independent event having a fixed probability of dying and there are only two possibilities, the diver will either die or survive, so, all skydiving can be regarded as is Bernoulli's trial.

Denoting the probability of dying in a single jump by $q$ .

$q=7\times 10^{-6}=0.000007$ .

So, the probability of survive, $p=1-q$

$\Rightarrow p=1-7\times 10^{-6}=0.999993.$

(a) The total number of jump he made, n=48

Using Bernoulli's equation, the probability of surviving in exactly 48 jumps (r=48) out of 48 jumps (n=48) is

$=\binom(n,r)p^rq^{n-r}$

$=\binom(48,48)(0.999993)^{48}(0.000007)^{48-48}$

$=(0.999993)^{48}=0.999664$ (approx)

So, the probability of survive in 48 skydiving is 0.999664,

(b) The given probability of surviving =90%=0.9

Let, total $n$ skydiving jumps required to meet the surviving probability of 0.9.

So, By using Bernoulli's equation,

$0.9=\binom {n }{r} p^rq^{n-r}$

Here, r=n.

$\Rightarrow 0.9=\binom{n}{n}p^nq^{n-n}$

$\Rightarrow 0.9=p^n$

$\Rightarrow 0.9=(0.999993)^n$

$\Rightarrow \ln(0.9)=n\ln(0.999993)$ [ taking $\log_e$ both sides]

$\Rightarrow n=\frac {\ln(0.9)}{\ln(0.999993)}$

$\Rightarrow n=15051.45$

The number of diving cant be a fractional value, so bound it to the upper integral value.

Hence, the total number of skydiving required to meet the 90% probability of surviving is 15052.

Mia opens a coffee shop in the first week of January. The function W(x) = 0.002x3 - 0.01x2 models the total number of customers

Len [333]

We need to know the function that models the difference in the number of customers visiting the two stores.
We know the function that models the number of customers in the cafeteria
W (x) = 0.002x3 - 0.01x2
We also know the function that models the number of customers who visit the ice cream parlor
R (x) = x2 - 4x + 13
Therefore the difference, D (x), in the number of customers visiting the two stores is:
D (x) = W (x) - R (x)
D (x) = 0.002x ^ 3 - 0.01x ^ 2 - (x ^ 2 -4x +13)
D (x) = 0.002x ^ 3 - 0.01x ^ 2 - x ^ 2 + 4x -13

D (x) = 0.002x ^ 3 - 1.01x ^ 2 + 4x -13
<span> The answer is the third option</span>
