Sharon runs a screen-printing business. To print T-shirts each day, it costs her $200 in labor plus $5 per T-shirt for materials

. Her income is $15 for each T-shirt she sells. How many T-shirts does Sharon need to sell each day in order for her costs to equal her income for that day?

Answer:

Equation: 15n = 200 + 5n

Number of T-shirts: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find an expression for the costs for 1 day for making n number of T-shirts and an expression for the income for 1 day for selling n number of T-shirts. Then we set the expressions equal and solve for n, the number of T-shirts.

<u><em>Expenses in 1 day: </em></u>

The expenses are a fixed cost of $200 plus the cost per T-shirt.

$200 plus $5 per T-shirt

We need an expression for the cost per T-shirt in terms of n, the number of T-shirts.

If she makes 1 T-shirt, she spends $5 * 1.

If she makes 2 T-shirts, she spends $5 * 2.

If she makes n T-shirts, she spends $5 * n, or simply 5n.

Her total costs for a day are:

200 + 5n

<u><em>Income in 1 day:</em></u>

All the income comes from selling T-shirts.

She sells 1 T-shirt for $15 * 1.

She sells 2 T-shirts for $15 * 2.

She sells n T-shirts for $15 * n, or simply 15n

Her total income for 1 day is:

15n

Now we set the costs equal to the income and solve for n.

15n = 200 + 5n           <---------   here is the equation you need

Subtract 5n from both sides.

10n = 200

Divide both sides by 10.

n = 20

Answer: She needs to sell 20 T-shirts.

Suppose N has a geometric distribution with parameter p. Derive a closed-form expression for E(N | N &lt;= k), k = 1,2,... Check
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

P(X= k) = (1-p)^k-1.p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of trials is

N < = k, the geometric distribution gives the probability that there are k-1 trials that result in failure(F) before the success(S) at the kth trials.

Given p = success,

1 - p = failure

Hence the distribution is described as: Pr ( FFFF.....FS)

Pr(X= k) = (1-p)(1-p)(1-p)....(1-p)p

Pr((X=k) = (1 - p)^ (k-1) .p

Since N<=k

Pr (X =k) = p(1-p)^k-1, k= 1,2,...k

0, elsewhere

If the probability is defined for Y, the number of failure before a success

Pr (Y= k) = p(1-p)^y......k= 0,1,2,3

0, elsewhere.

Given p= 0.2, k= 3,

P(X= 3) =( 0.2) × (1 - 0.2)²

P(X=3) = 0.128

69) Half-way to the center of a planet of uniform density, your weight compared to that at the surface would be :
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

One- half

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the density is uniform  

Mass of the sphere = [(4/3) π r^3] d

where d is the uniform density.

Mass of the sphere = [(4/3) π d] r^3 = k r^3

where k = [(4/3) π d] is a constant  

Weight = mg = G m M / r^2 = G m [k r^3] /r^2 = G m k r

Using Gauss’ law for gravitation,

Half way to the center of a planet the weight is only due to the inner sphere and the outer sphere does not contribute to his weight,  

Inside his weight is mg’ = (G m k  r) /2   = mg/2  

Answer is one-half.
