For a given event, what is the result of dividing the number of successful outcomes by the number of possible outcomes?

1 answer:

5 0

Dividing the number of successful outcomes by the number of possible outcomes is the definition of the probability of the given event.

P(E)=n(E)/n(S)

example. let the Experiment be throwing a dice. The sample space, all the possible outcomes, is the set S={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 } and n(S)=6

Let the even E be: getting an even number. The successful outcomes set is E {2, 4, 6 } and n(E)=3

So probability of getting an even number is P(E)=n(E)/n(S)=3/6=0.5

Answer: Probability of the given Event

EM Company produces two types of laptop computer bags. The regular version requires $32 in capital and 4 hours of labor and sell

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that EM company produces two types of laptop computer bags.

Let regular version produced be R and deluxe version be D

Total capital required

= $32R+38D\leq 2100$

Total labor hours required

= $4R+6D\leq 280$

Sales revenue = $46R+55D$

Solving the two constraints we have

10D $\leq$ 140

D can be atmost 14 and hence R can be 49

Otherwise if D is made 0, R = 65 maximum

If R is made 0, D maximum is 46

Thus corner points are (65,0) (0.,46) or (49,14)

Sales revenue for (65,0) = 2990

(0,46) is 2530

(49,14) is 3024

Maximum when R =14 and D is 49

The equation for line r can be written as y=-1/4x+3. Line s which is parallel to lone r includes the point (-4,3). What is the e

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)
Parallel lines always have the same slope

1) Determine the slope of line S using line R (m)

$y=-\frac{1}{4} x+3$

We can identify clearly that the slope of the line is $-\frac{1}{4}$ , as it is in the place of m. Because parallel lines always have the same slope, the slope of line S would also be $-\frac{1}{4}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :
