Answer:

Chocolate cones = x = 167 cones

Vanilla cones = y = 334 cones

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The number of Chocolate cones = x

Vanilla cones = y

Ike's igloo sold 501 ice cream cones today.

x + y = 501.... Equation 1

They sold half as many chocolate ice cream cone as vanilla ones.

x = 1/2y

x = y/2

Cross multiply

y = 2x

We substitute 2x for y in Equation 1

x + 2x = 501

3x = 501

x = 501/3

x = 167

Solving for y

y = 2x

y = 2 × 167

y = 334

Therefore,

The number of

Chocolate cones = x = 167 cones

Vanilla cones = y = 334 cones

The probability that your call to a service line is answered in less than 30 seconds is 0.75. Assume that your calls are indepen

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

a) 0.2581

b) 0.4148

c) 17

Step-by-step explanation:

For each call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are answered in less than 30 seconds. Or they are not. The probabilities for each call are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.75$

a. If you call 12 times, what is the probability that exactly 9 of your calls are answered within 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X = 9)$ when $n = 12$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.75)^{9}.(0.25)^{3} = 0.2581$

b. If you call 20 times, what is the probability that at least 16 calls are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

This is $P(X \geq 16)$ when $n = 20$

So

$P(X \geq 16) = P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.75)^{16}.(0.25)^{4} = 0.1897$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,17}.(0.75)^{17}.(0.25)^{3} = 0.1339$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.75)^{18}.(0.25)^{2} = 0.0669$

$P(X = 19) = C_{20,19}.(0.75)^{19}.(0.25)^{1} = 0.0211$

$P(X = 20) = C_{20,20}.(0.75)^{20}.(0.25)^{0} = 0.0032$

So

$P(X \geq 16) = P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.1897 + 0.1339 + 0.0669 + 0.0211 + 0.0032 = 0.4148$

c. If you call 22 times, what is the mean number of calls that are answered in less than 30 seconds? Round your answer to the nearest integer.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

In this question, we have $n = 22$

So

$E(X) = 22*0.75 = 16.5$

The closest integer to 16.5 is 17.

Andrea has a goal of running at least 50 miles this month. She has already run 7 miles. How many miles does Andrea need to run e

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

At least 1.72 miles per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Goal of running is at least 50 miles in a month.

Andrea have already run 7 miles.

Days left in the month is 25.

As given, Andrea have already run 7 miles.

∴ Andrea need to run this month= $50\ miles - 7\ miles= 43\ miles$

Days remaining this month is 25.

Now, finding miles need to run each day to meet her goal.

Miles need to run each day= $\frac{remaining\ miles}{remaining\ days}$

⇒ Miles need to run each day= $\frac{43}{25} = 1.72\ miles$

∴ Andrea need to run at least 1.72 miles to meet her goal this month.
