Answer: 5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of times that he saved $75 be x.

Let the number of times that he saved $150 be y.

Therefore, based on the information given in the question, we can form an equation which will be:

x + y = 8 ...... i

75x + 150y = 825 ....... ii

From equation I,

x + y = 8

y = 8 - x....... iiii

Put equation iii into ii and this will be:

75x + 150y = 825

75x + 150(8 - x) = 825

75x + 1200 - 150x = 825

75x - 150x = 825 - 1200

-75x = -375

x = 375/75

x = 5

He saved $75 5times from his paycheck.

Ten more than half of a number is eight less than twice the number. What is the number?
Neporo4naja [7]
Ten (10) more than (+) half (\frac{1}{2}) of a number (x) is (=) eight (8) less than (-) twice (2 x ) the number (x).

\frac{1}{2}x + 10 = 2x - 8   Multiply both sides by 2
x + 20 = 4x - 16   Subtract x from both sides
20 = 3x - 16         Add 16 to both sides
36 = 3x                Divide both sides by 3
12 = x

On Friday night, the owner of Chez Pierre in downtown Chicago noted the amount spent for dinner for 28 four-person tables. 95 10
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

(a) The mean is 107.25, median is 106 and mode is 95.

(b) The data set is right-skewed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space of amount spent for dinner for 28 four-person tables is:

S = {95, 103, 109, 170, 114, 113, 107, 124, 105, 80, 104, 84, 176, 115, 69, 95, 134, 108, 61, 160, 128, 68, 95, 61, 150, 52, 87, 136}

There are <em>n</em> = 28 values in the set.

(a)

The mean of this data set is:

\bar x=\frac{1}{n} \sum x=\frac{1}{28} \times3003=107.25

The mean is 107.25.

The data set consists of even number of observations.

The median for an even set of data is the mean of the middle two numbers.

First arrange the data set in ascending order:

52, 61 , 61 , 68 , 69 , 80 , 84 , 87 , 95 , 95 , 95 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 124 , 128 , 134 , 136 , 150 , 160 , 170 , 176

The median is the average value of the 14th and 15th observation.

Median=\frac{14^{th}obs.+15^{th}obs.}{2}=\frac{105+107}{2}=106

The median is 106.

The mode of a data set is the value with the most frequency.

Consider the arranged data set.

52, 61 , 61 , 68 , 69 , 80 , 84 , 87 , 95 , 95 , 95 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 107 , 108 , 109 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 124 , 128 , 134 , 136 , 150 , 160 , 170 , 176

The value 95 is repeated most of the times.

Thus, the mode is 95.

(b)

The value of mean, median and mode are related as follows:

Mean > Median > Mode

This implies that the data is skewed.

In case of a right-skewed data the Mean > Median > Mode.

In case of left skewed data the Mean < Median < Mode.

Thus, the data set is right-skewed.

The least total cost method (LTC) lot-sizing technique calculates the order quantity by comparing the carrying cost and the setu
rewona [7]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The least total cost method is the method in which the total cost of the ordering cost and the total carrying cost is equal among various lot size available.

The order quantity should be choose when the total ordering cost and the total carrying cost equal to each other

The formula to compute the economic order quantity is shown below:

a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

It is always be expressed in units

The formula to compute the ordering cost is

= \frac{Annual\ demand}{Economic\ order\ quantity}\times ordering\ cost\ per\ order

And, the formula to compute the carrying cost is

= \frac{Economic\ order\ quanity}{2}\times carrying\ cost\ per\ unit

Hence, the given statement is true
