Answer: the ordered pair negative 3 over 8, negative 5 over 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$290
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that 1 out of 5 buyers change to a more expensive sofa than the one in the sale advertisement.
Now we are told that the advertised sofa is $250 and the more expensive sofa is $450.
Thus;
P(x) for expensive sofa = 1/5
P(x) for sofa in sale advertisement = 4/5
Thus, expected value is;
E(X) = (1/5)450 + (4/5)250
E(x) = 90 + 200
E(x) = $290
Simplifying
8x + -10 = 62
Reorder the terms:
-10 + 8x = 62
Solving
-10 + 8x = 62
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 10 + 8x = 62 + 10
Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + 8x = 62 + 10
8x = 62 + 10
Combine like terms: 62 + 10 = 72
8x = 72
Divide each side by '8'.
x = 9
Simplifying
x = 9
