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

NeTakaya

(5x + 7)(8x + 7) \\  \\ 5x + 7 = 0 \\  \\ 5x =  - 7 \\  \\ x =  \frac{ - 7}{5}  \\  \\ 8x + 7 = 0 \\  \\ 8x =  - 7 \\  \\ x =  \frac{ - 7}{8} .

the values of x are -7/5 and -7/8 .

saveliy_v [14]
The best way to find your answer is to divide 193 by 400 to get .4825 and to make sure if it is the answer you take 400 and multiply .4825 and it will be 193 so .4825 = 48.25%

If a(x) = 2x - 4 and b(x) = x + 2, which of the following expressions produces a quadratic function
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying a(x) and b(x) together results in a quadratic equation (a trinomial).  This trinomial looks like (a·b)(x) = (2)(x - 2)(x + 2).  Note that this is a "special product;"  (2)(x^2 - 4); there is no middle term.

Which algebraic expressions are polynomials? Check all that apply. PLEASE HELP
dexar [7]
Selections 2, 3, 5, 6 are polynomials.

1 and 4 are not. The coefficients don't have to be integers, but the powers of the variables need to be positive integers. In 1, you have x^-1. in 4, you have x^(1/2).
