Answer:

b=3, y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the 2 equations:

2b +6y= 42 -----(1)

2b +4y= 30 -----(2)

(1) -(2):

(2b +6y) -(2b +4y)= 42 -30

2b +6y -2b -4y= 12

2y= 12

y= 12 ÷2 (÷2 on both sides)

y= 6

Susbt. y=6 into (2):

2b +4(6)= 30

2b +24=30

2b= 30 -24 (-24 on both sides)

2b= 6

b= 6 ÷2

b= 3

Answer:

y = 6, b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both equations have 2b in them, subtracting them gets you a quick result because the 2b-2b cancels out!

2b + 6y = 42

2b + 4y = 30

------------------ -

2y = 12

y = 6

Then 2b = 42 - 36 = 6, so b = 6/2 = 3

John is going camping, and he needs to buy a tent. The outdoor store has one that cost $90, but it's on sale for 25% off. What i

pochemuha

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so, im not the best at explaining, but so we have a percentage. its 25%. you want to take the 25% and put it over 100 because a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. so it will be written as 25%/100

divide 25 by 100 and you get 0.25, correct? so that's one step further towards the answer.

then we write x/90 because we don't know (well we do) what we're gonna put. but, we're gonna multiply 0.25 by 90 and we get 22.5, which is equivalent to 22.50.

The price of Stock A at 9 A.M. was $14.83. Since then, the price has been increasing at the rate of $0.12 each hour. At noon

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

0.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the x be the number of hours after noon.

We have the following equation:

14.83 + 0.12(x + 3) = 15.33 - 0.15x
14.83 + 0.12x + 0.36 = 15.33 - 0.15x
0.12x + 0.15x = 15.33 - 15.19
0.27x = 0.14
x = 0.14/0.27
x ≈ 0.5

A pen company averages 1.2 defective pens per carton produced (200 pens). The number of defects per carton is Poisson distribute

nlexa [21]

Answer:

a. P(x = 0 | λ = 1.2) = 0.301

b. P(x ≥ 8 | λ = 1.2) = 0.000

c. P(x > 5 | λ = 1.2) = 0.002

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of defects per carton is Poisson distributed, with parameter 1.2 pens/carton, we can model the probability of k defects as:

$P(k)=\frac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}= \frac{1.2^{k}\cdot e^{-1.2}}{k!}$

a. What is the probability of selecting a carton and finding no defective pens?

This happens for k=0, so the probability is:

$P(0)=\frac{1.2^{0}\cdot e^{-1.2}}{0!}=e^{-1.2}=0.301$

b. What is the probability of finding eight or more defective pens in a carton?

This can be calculated as one minus the probablity of having 7 or less defective pens.

$P(k\geq8)=1-P(k$

$P(0)=1.2^{0} \cdot e^{-1.2}/0!=1*0.3012/1=0.301\\\\P(1)=1.2^{1} \cdot e^{-1.2}/1!=1*0.3012/1=0.361\\\\P(2)=1.2^{2} \cdot e^{-1.2}/2!=1*0.3012/2=0.217\\\\P(3)=1.2^{3} \cdot e^{-1.2}/3!=2*0.3012/6=0.087\\\\P(4)=1.2^{4} \cdot e^{-1.2}/4!=2*0.3012/24=0.026\\\\P(5)=1.2^{5} \cdot e^{-1.2}/5!=2*0.3012/120=0.006\\\\P(6)=1.2^{6} \cdot e^{-1.2}/6!=3*0.3012/720=0.001\\\\P(7)=1.2^{7} \cdot e^{-1.2}/7!=4*0.3012/5040=0\\\\$

$P(k$

c. Suppose a purchaser of these pens will quit buying from the company if a carton contains more than five defective pens. What is the probability that a carton contains more than five defective pens?

We can calculate this as we did the previous question, but for k=5.

$P(k>5)=1-P(k\leq5)=1-\sum_{k=0}^5P(k)\\\\P(k>5)=1-(0.301+0.361+0.217+0.087+0.026+0.006)\\\\P(k>5)=1-0.998=0.002$
