In an office building, an elevator has a maximum carrying capacity of 2,700 pounds. Based on the average weight (180 pounds male
) (150 pounds female) how many males and females can fit on the elevator.
1 answer:
Answer:
see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of males on the elevator
y ----> the number of females on the elevator
we know that
The inequality that represent this situation is
The solution of the inequality is the shaded area below the solid line
The slope of the solid line is negative
The y-intercept of the solid line is (0,18)
The x-intercept of the solid line is (15,0)
see the attached figure
The solution is the triangular shaded area
The maximum number of females is 18 (when the number of males is zero)
The maximum number of males is 15 (when the number of females is zero)

The binomial probability is the probability of having sucesses on
repeated trials of an experiment that can only have two outcomes. This is why it is called the binomial probability.
Since in our problem there are three possible outcomes, the binomial probability cannot be used.
The correct answer is (B)
(B) No. A binomial probability model applies to only two outcomes per trial.
