Answer:

W = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify 21/42 into 1/2

w/ 14 = 1/2

2) Multiply both sides by 14.

W = 1/2 · 14

3) Simplify

W = 14/29

4) Simplify (again)

W = 7

Coffee beans worth $ 10.50 $10.50 per pound are to be mixed with coffee beans worth $ 13.00 $13.00 per pound to make 50 50 pound
MAVERICK [17]

Answer: 30 pounds of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound was used.

20 pounds of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound was used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound that should be mixed.

Let y represent the number of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound that should be mixed.

50 pounds of beans worth $11.50 per pound is to be made. The total cost of the mixture would be

50 × 11.5 = 575

This means that

10.5x + 13y = 575 - - - - - - - 1

The total number of pounds of each type of coffee used is 50. This means that

x + y = 50

Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes.

10.5(50 - y) + 13y = 575

525 - 10.5y + 13y = 575

- 10.5y + 13y = 575 - 525

2.5y = 50

y = 50/2.5 = 20

x = 50 - 20= 30

Calculate each probability
GREYUIT [131]

Complete question:

Calculate each probability given that P(A) = 0.2, P(B) = 0.8, and A & B are independent.

a) compute P(A and B)

b) If P(A|B) = 0.7, compute P(A and B).

Answer:

(a) P(A and B) = 0.16

(b) P(A and B) = 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events are independent if occurrence of one event does not affect possibility of occurrence of another.

(a) if A and B are independent, then P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)

                                                                               = 0.2 x 0.8

                                                                               = 0.16

(b)  If P(A|B) = 0.7, compute P(A and B)

Considering the notations of independent events,

P(A/B) = P(A)\\\\\frac{P(A \ and \ B)}{P(B)} = P(A)\\\\Thus, P(A/B) = \frac{P(A \ and \ B)}{P(B)}\\\\P(A \ and \ B) = P(A/B) *P(B)

                     = 0.7 x 0.8

                     = 0.56
