Answer:

Here we don't have the options, so i will answer in a general way.

Every sentence that has the general structure like:

"something is greater than something"

"something is smaller than something"

"Something is no greater than something"

"something is no smaller than something"

There are a lot of other sentences, for example the ones like:

"N is at least equal to M" written as: N ≥ M

"N is at most equal to M" written as: N ≤ M

And there may be other ways to represent inequalities in sentences, but this is the most general way

Then the given sentence:

"One-half + k greater than 18"

This is written as:

1/2 + k > 18

Which is an inequality.

find a rational number that is between 5.2 and 5.5. Explain why it is rational Find an irrational number between 5.2 and 5.5. Ex

DedPeter [7]

A rational number is 5.3 . It's rational because it can be written as a fraction a/b

- that is 5 3/10 or 53/10.

An irrational number between the 2 values would be √29

Enter this into ur calculator and you'll get an answer like 5.385164807 but this number carries on beyond bounds and can't be written as a fraction a/b It is irrational.

Sarah is the president of the drama club and wants to publish a newspaper. Expenses are $.90 for printing and mailing each copy,

larisa86 [58]

Let: x = number of copies sold

We can formulate the following equation to solve for x:

1.50x - 0.9x - 600 = 0

x = 1000

Therefore, the club must sell 1000 copies to break even. Among the choices, the correct answer is A.

A pen company averages 1.2 defective pens per carton produced (200 pens). The number of defects per carton is Poisson distribute

nlexa [21]

Answer:

a. P(x = 0 | λ = 1.2) = 0.301

b. P(x ≥ 8 | λ = 1.2) = 0.000

c. P(x > 5 | λ = 1.2) = 0.002

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of defects per carton is Poisson distributed, with parameter 1.2 pens/carton, we can model the probability of k defects as:

$P(k)=\frac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}= \frac{1.2^{k}\cdot e^{-1.2}}{k!}$

a. What is the probability of selecting a carton and finding no defective pens?

This happens for k=0, so the probability is:

$P(0)=\frac{1.2^{0}\cdot e^{-1.2}}{0!}=e^{-1.2}=0.301$

b. What is the probability of finding eight or more defective pens in a carton?

This can be calculated as one minus the probablity of having 7 or less defective pens.

$P(k\geq8)=1-P(k$

$P(0)=1.2^{0} \cdot e^{-1.2}/0!=1*0.3012/1=0.301\\\\P(1)=1.2^{1} \cdot e^{-1.2}/1!=1*0.3012/1=0.361\\\\P(2)=1.2^{2} \cdot e^{-1.2}/2!=1*0.3012/2=0.217\\\\P(3)=1.2^{3} \cdot e^{-1.2}/3!=2*0.3012/6=0.087\\\\P(4)=1.2^{4} \cdot e^{-1.2}/4!=2*0.3012/24=0.026\\\\P(5)=1.2^{5} \cdot e^{-1.2}/5!=2*0.3012/120=0.006\\\\P(6)=1.2^{6} \cdot e^{-1.2}/6!=3*0.3012/720=0.001\\\\P(7)=1.2^{7} \cdot e^{-1.2}/7!=4*0.3012/5040=0\\\\$

$P(k$

c. Suppose a purchaser of these pens will quit buying from the company if a carton contains more than five defective pens. What is the probability that a carton contains more than five defective pens?

We can calculate this as we did the previous question, but for k=5.

$P(k>5)=1-P(k\leq5)=1-\sum_{k=0}^5P(k)\\\\P(k>5)=1-(0.301+0.361+0.217+0.087+0.026+0.006)\\\\P(k>5)=1-0.998=0.002$

Jay King, owner of a local Bed and Bath Store knows that his customers will only pay at most, $299 for a blow up bed. Assuming J

N76 [4]

The answer would be 747.50! Because if you were wanting to decrease the price then you would multiply $299 by 40% So since you are wanting to add to the price then you would divide...Hope that makes since :)
