A pizza shop sells three sizes of pizza, and they track how often each size gets ordered along with how much they profit from ea

ch size. Let X represent the shop's profit on a randomly selected pizza. Here's the probability distribution of XXX along with summary statistics:
Small Medium Large
X= Profit($) 4 8 12
P(X) 0.18 0.50 0.32
Mean μx= $8.56
Standard Deviation σx ≈ 2.77

The company is going to run a promotion where customers get $2 off any size pizza. Assume that the promotion will not change the probability that corresponds to each size. Let Y represent their profit on a randomly selected pizza with this promotion. What are the mean and standard deviation of Y?

Answer:

μy = $6.56 ; σy = 2.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Mean μx= $8.56

Standard Deviation σx ≈ 2.77

Profit, Y on pizza with current promo :

Price off on pizza = $2

Y = x - 2

μx = E(x) = $8.56

μy = μ(x - 2)

μy = μx - $2

μy = $8.56 - $2

μy = $6.56

For the standard deviation of y

σx ≈ 2.77

σy = σ(x - 2)

σy = σx - 2

Constants are treated as 0 for standard deviation

σy = 2.77

Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}. n distinct integers will be chosen from A. How big does n have to be
Hitman42 [59]
Partition the set A into 4 subsets: {1, 8}, {2, 7}, {3, 6}, and {4, 5}, each consisting of two integers whose sum is 9. If 5 integers are selected from A, then by the Pigeonhole Principle at least two must be from the same subset. But then the sum of these two integers is 9.

A number greater than a thousand whos prime factorization contains one prime number that does not repeat, one prime number that
Nikitich [7]

You can build as many numbers as you like: just pick three primes and repeat them as required.

The only caution is that you have to pick large enough primes to make sure that the result is larger than 1000.

Since 10^3 = 1000, it is enough that the prime repeating three times is larger than 10.

So, for example, we can pick

  • 2, not repeating
  • 3, repeating twice
  • 11, repeating 3 times

The result is

2 \times 3^2 \times 11^3 = 23958
