A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires. Given its specific needs, the management feels that there is a 50%

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a) 0.9

b) Mean = 1.58

Standard Deviation = 0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires.

Let X be the variable describing the number of hiring in the company.

Thus, x can take values 0,1 ,2 and 3.

$P(x\geq 2) = 50\%= 0.5\\P(x = 0) = 10\% = 0.1\\P(x = 3) = 18\% = 0.18$

a) P(firm will make at least one hire)

$P(x\geq 2) = P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\0.5 = P(x=2) + 0.18\\ P(x=2) = 0.32$

Also,

$P(x= 0) +P(x= 1) + P(x= 2) + P(x= 3) = 1\\ 0.1 + P(x= 1) + 0.32 + 0.18 = 1\\ P(x= 1) = 1- (0.1+0.32+0.18) = 0.4$

$\text{P(firm will make at least one hire)}\\= P(x\geq 1)\\=P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\ = 0.4 + 0.32 + 0.18 = 0.9$

b) expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.

$E(X) = \displaystyle\sum x_iP(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 2(0.32)+3(0.18) = 1.58$

$E(x^2) = \displaystyle\sum x_i^2P(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 4(0.32) +9(0.18) = 3.3\\V(x) = E(x^2)-[E(x)]^2 = 3.3-(1.58)^2 = 0.80\\\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{V(x)} = \sqrt{0.8036} = 0.89$

Shreya and Shanice are selling pies for a

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

$26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let blueberry pies = x and lemon pies = y.

4x + 13y = 230

4x + 2y = 76

Using elimination, we see that 11y = 154. Therefore, y = 14.

4x + 2(14) = 76

4x + 28 = 76

4x = 48

x = 12

x + y = 12 + 14 = 26.

$26 is your answer.

How many degrees are each angle of a regular 7 sided shape?

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a diagram of a seven sided regular polygon. You use this diagram to find out how many degrees total are in the interior of a the heptagon. There are 5 such triangles which means that since each triangle has 180o the total amount of the interior angles must be 5 * 180 = 900

Since there are 7 interior angles, the answer to how large each one of them is is found by

900/7 = 129.57 which is slightly off because it is a rounded error.

In general, the size of the angles in a regular polygon

180(n - 2 ) / n

Where n is the number of degrees in each interior angle. For example for an 8 sided figure you would get

180(8 - 2) / 8 = 180 * 6/8 = 133 degrees.
