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

3(c+5)=12. Distributive property
avanturin [10]

Answer:

c = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(c+5)=12

3 × c = 3c

3 × 5 = 15

3c + 15 = 12

<u>      - 15   -15</u>

   3c = -3

c = -3 ÷ 3 = -1

Check:

3(-1+5)=12

-3 + 15 = 12

A newly established clothing shop analyzed their monthly profit compared to the amount spent on advertising each month. The foll
Reil [10]
The maximum profit is the highest point on the curve at (3, 45), and since the y-value is the profit in hundreds of dollars, the maximum profit is $4500.
The shop is making a profit as long as the curve is above the x-axis, so this is over the given interval (0, 10).
The maximum profit is earned at x = 3, and the x-value is the money spent on advertising in hundreds of dollars, so this means that $300 was spent of advertising.

15/5 is 3

So then you change the equation to be 12=15z-3 ( don’t forgot the negative sign)

Move the constant to the right side and change the sign

-15z= -3 -12

-3-12 is -15

Divide -15z= -15

Your final answer will be z= 1

Rewrite In simplest radical form x^5/6/x^1/6
Nady [450]
I assume you mean:

[x^(5/6)]/[x^(1/6)]

The rule for dividing similar bases with different exponents is:

(a^b)/(a^c)=a^(b-c)

In this case we have:

x^(5/6-1/6)

x^(4/6)

x^(2/3)
