The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning any lettuce that is left from the previ

Given Information:

Cost price = $4

Selling price = $10

Salvage value = $1.50

Average demand = μ = 250 boxes

Standard deviation = σ = 34 boxes

Required Information:

Number of lettuce boxes = ?

Answer:

The supermarket should purchase 268 boxes of lettuce

Step-by-step explanation:

The required number of lettuce boxes that supermarket should purchase is given by

Number of lettuce boxes = μ + (z*σ)

Where μ is the average demand of lettuce boxes, σ is the standard deviation, and z is the z-score which is given by

p = C_us/(C_us + C_os)

The z-score corresponding to probability p will be obtained.

The cost of under stocking is given by

C_us = Selling price - Cost price

C_us = $10 - $4

C_us = $6

The cost of over stocking is given by

C_os = Cost price - Salvage value

C_os = $4 - $1.50

C_os = $2.50

p = C_us/(C_us + C_os)

p = 6/(6 + 2.50)

p = 0.7058

p = 70.58%

The z-score corresponding to 70.58% probability is approximately 0.54

Number of lettuce boxes = μ + (z*σ)

Number of lettuce boxes = 250 + (0.54*34)

Number of lettuce boxes = 250 + (18.36)

Number of lettuce boxes = 268.36

Number of lettuce boxes ≈ 268

Therefore, the supermarket should purchase 268 boxes of lettuce.

How to use z-table?

Step 1:

In the z-table, find the probability you are looking for and note down the two-digit number of the given row. (e.g 0.5, 2.2, 0.5 etc.)

Step 2:

Then look up at the top of z-table and note down the value in the column for the remaining decimal point in the range of 0.00 to 0.09.

Step 3:

Finally, add the numbers obtained from step 1 and step 2.

PLEASE NO LINKS, I will report you.

Answer:

for 18 x is 6 and for 20 it is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

For 18, since -1+2x and 5+x is the same thing, set up and equation. WE can simplify to -1+x=5 and then we get x=6

For 20, 18 is 11 since 18=-4+2x. If we simplify we get 22=2x then we can use algebra to say that x=11

Hope this helps :)

3. In a single growing season at the Smith Family Orchard, the average yield per apple tree is 150 apples when the number of tre

g100num [7]

Answer:

A.10000

B.25 more trees must be planted

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒Given:

The intial average yield per acre $y_{i}$ = 150

The initial number of trees per acre $t_{i}$ = 100

For each additional tree over 100, the average yield per tree decreases by 1 i.e , if the number trees become 101 , the avg yield becomes 149.
Total yield = (number of trees per acre) $*$ (average yield per acre)

A.

⇒If the total trees per acre is doubled , which means :

total number of trees per acre $t_{f}$ = $2*t_{i}$ = 200

the yield will decrease by : $t_{f}$ - $y_{i}$

$y_{f}= 150-100= 50$

⇒total yield = $50*200=10000$

B.

⇒to maximize the yield ,

let's take the number of trees per acre to be 100+y ;

and thus the average yield per acre = 150 - y;

total yield = $(100+y)*(150-y)\\=15000+50y-y^{2} \\$

this is a quadratic equation. this can be rewritten as ,

⇒ $=15000+50y-y^{2}\\=15000+625 - (625 - 50y +y^{2})\\=15625 - (y-25)^{2}$

In this equation , the total yield becomes maximum when y=25;

⇒Thus the total number of trees per acre = 100+25 =125;
