Calculate the probability that both bids are successful

Answer:

The probability that both contracs are successful is 0.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

E1 = the event that the bid on the first contract is successful

E2 = the event that the bid on the second contract is successful

P(E1) = 0.3

P(E2) = 0.7

Let P(A) represent the event that both contracts are successful

P(A) = P(E1 and E2)

Since both events are independent. P(A) becomes

P(A) = = P(E1 * P(E2)

By substituton

P(A) = 0.3 * 0.7

P(A) = 0.21

Hence the probability that both contracs are successful is 0.21

Identify the vertex of the parabola and tell whether it is a minimum or a maximum.
frozen [14]

Answer:

First parabola's vertex is (-2,2), which is a minimum.

Second parabola's vertex is (3,2), which is a maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply, a vertex of a quadratic is a graph's turning point.

The maximum and minimum can be identified by seeing if the graph curves up or down.

Maximum occurs when your graph is facing down.

Minimum occurs when your graph is facing up.

International Juice Inc. plans to introduce a new line of fruit juices with three different flavors: cherry, grape and apple. 50
Tanya [424]
Cherry sales as a % of total sales = (0.5 x 1.2)/(0.5 x 1.2 + 0.2 x 1.4 + 0.3 x 1.6) = 0.6 / (0.6 + 0.28 + 0.48) = 0.6 / 1.36 = 0.4412 = 44.12%

Therefore, 44.12% of the total sales will be cherry.

Three times x less than y is five times y plus two times x in a verbal sentence please help
tankabanditka [31]
SOLUTION:

As an equation it is:

y - 3x = 5y + 2x

If you are asking for it as a sentence ( I will do it as a written sentence as I unfortunately can't show you the sentence verbally as you had asked ), then it is as you had written in your question so:

Three times x less than y is five times y plus two times x

Or you could write is as:

y subtracted by three times x is equivalent to the sum of five times y and two times x.

Essentially, even with the small alterations that you can make to the phrasing and sentence structure, the concepts are the same so you can use one of the above answers or alter it as you please.

Hope this helps! :)
