Answer:

  a) no

  b) 143 rectangular containers

  c) 157 cylindrical containers

  d) both (preferring rectangular for the bulk of an order)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If the company needs to package 6,400 candles, should it use only rectangular or only cylindrical containers to minimize costs?

  No.*

For packaging 41 candles or fewer, the cylindrical container costs less than the rectangular one.

For packaging 6400 candles, there will be 10 candles left over if rectangular containers are used for most of the packaging needs. A dollar can be saved by packaging these remaining candles in a cylindrical container.

__

b) How many rectangular containers will be necessary to package 6,400 candles?

  6400/45 = 142 10/45

If rectangular containers are used for all, then 143 are needed.

__

c) How many cylindrical containers will be necessary to package 6,400 candles?

  6400/41 = 156 4/41

If cylindrical containers are used for all, the 157 are needed.

__

d) Which container should the company use to minimize costs?

  The cost of 143 rectangular containers is 143×$16 = $2288

  The cost of 157 cylindrical containers is 157×$15 = $2355

  The cost of 142 rectangular and 1 cylindrical container is $2287

If only one shape container is used, the company should use rectangular containers to minimize cost. If either shape can be used, cost will be minimized by using one cylindrical container for the remnant of the order.

_____

* This question is directed solely at the cost of materials required for packaging. We have advocated that both rectangular and cylindrical containers be made available. As a practical matter, the cost to the company of maintaining inventory of both sizes of containers may exceed the savings associated with using a cheaper container for smaller orders.

Answer:

y= -2+\frac{2}{3}x

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by 2

2x=3y+6

Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sing

-3y=6-2x

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

y= -2+\frac{2}{3}x

A bag of lollipops contains red lollipops and purple lollipops. 80% of the lollipops in the bag are red. A number generator simu
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

  The number generator is fair. It picked the approximate percentage of red lollipops most of the time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other answer choices represent various misinterpretations of the nature of the experiment or the meaning of the numbers generated.

___

A number generator can be quite fair, but give wildly varying percentages of red lollipops. Attached are the results of a series of nine (9) simulations of the type described in the problem statement. You can see that the symmetrical result shown in the problem statement is quite unusual. A number generator that gives results that are too ideal may not be sufficiently random.

Which system of equations has exactly one solution?
tester [92]

Answer: Most of them cross each other once so I am not sure which one is the answer (sorry)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=7 is parallel to 3x+3y=3 and -6x-6y=3

3x+y=-1 and 6x+2y=-2 have infinite solutions togther (both are on top of each other)

The rest of the ways cross each other once
