Answer:

Bag 1: 20

Bag 2: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount taken out of bag 2

Then the amount left in each bag can be written as:

Bag 1: 50-3x

Bag 2: 50-x

Since we know that half of bag 2 is bag 1, that gives us:

50-3x = 1/2(50-x)

-> 50-3x = 25-x/2

Now lets isolate x and solve:

25 = 5x/2

-> 50 = 5x

-> x = 10

So plug x bag in for the original equations:

Bag 1: 50-3x = 50-3(10) = 20

Bag 2: 50-x = 50-10 = 40

Suppose all left-handed people are excluded from a sample. What is this an example of?
Gala2k [10]

The proportion of left-handed people in the general population is about 0.1. Suppose a random sample of 225 people is observed.

1. What is the sampling distribution of the sample proportion (p-hat)? In other words, what can we say about the behavior of the different possible values of the sample proportion that we can get when we take such a sample?

(Note: normal approximation is valid because .1(225) = 22.5 and .9(225) = 202.5 are both more than 10.)

2. Since the sample proportion has a normal distribution, its values follow the Standard Deviation Rule. What interval is almost certain (probability .997) to contain the sample proportion of left-handed people?

3. In a sample of 225 people, would it be unusual to find that 40 people in the sample are left-handed?

4. Find the approximate probability of at least 27 in 225 (proportion .12) being left-handed. In other words, what is P(p-hat ? 0.12)?

Guidance: Note that 0.12 is exactly 1 standard deviation (0.02) above the mean (0.1). Now use the Standard Deviation Rule.

A manufacturer has invested $120,000 in a new product and wants to set a price to earn a $80,000 profit. The variable cost per u
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: 500

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder of the question is:

How many units does the company need to sell to reach the target profit?

The required sales to break even will be calculated as:

= (Fixed cost + Required profit) / ( Price per unit - Variable cost)

= (120000 - 80000) / (100 - 20)

= 40000/80

= 500

The company needs to sell 500 units.
