Answer:
0.857 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the information provided we can create the following equations for the total amount Mallory (M) and Aimee (A) will save after x number of weeks...
M = 35 + 15x
A = 5 + 50x
Now we would need to make both of these equations equal one another and solve for x to calculate after how many week both Aimee and Mallory will have saved the same amount of money
35 + 15x = 5 + 50x ... subtract 5 and 15x from both sides
30 = 35x ... divide both sides by 35
or 0.857 = x
Finally, we can see that after 0.857 weeks both Mallory and Aimee will have saved the same amount of money.
*** The process provided is correct but I believe that the actual values for Aimees savings should be $50 and plans to save $5 a week, this would make the final result 1.5 weeks which would make more sense***
Using the probability table, it is found that:
- a) There is a 0.25 = 25% probability that this couple spends 45 dollars or more.
- b) The expected amount the couple actually has to pay is $36.85.
Item a:
To find the probabilities involving the total cost, we have to <u>add the variables X and Y</u> from the table, then:
The probability involving <u>values of 45 or more</u> is:
0.25 = 25% probability that this couple spends 45 dollars or more.
Item b:
For a <em>discrete distribution</em>, the expected value is the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability</u>, hence, involving the 10% discount for prices above $45:
The expected amount the couple actually has to pay is $36.85
