O.625 * 112 = 70 people being served chocolate cake
112 - 70 = 42 guests that will get carrot cake

I hope this helps :)

A’s DJ service charges a $200 setup fee and $75 an hour after that.

Bogdan [553]

The total cost includes the setup cost + per hour cost.

Let, x represents the time and y represents the total cost.

$y=200+75x$ .... (1)

Let Y represent the cost for B's DJ service.

$y=125x$ .... (2)

a. Graphing both the equations give the intersection point (solution) as (4,500)

It means for 4 hours, the total cost of both the DJ's is same at $500.

b. Substitution Method.

Plug y = 125x in equation (1)

$125x= 200+75x$

$125x-75x=200$

$50x=200$

$x=4$

$y=125\times 4 =500$

Hence, the total cost for 4 hours in both the service is $500.

c. Addition method.

Multiply equation (2) by -1

$-y = -125x$ .... Equation (3).

Add euation (1) and equation (3)

$y+(-y) = 200+75x-125x$

$0=200-50x$

$50x=200, x=4$

$y=500$

Solution: For x = 4, y = 500 ( same as the previous two methods)

For x = 2, equation (1)

$y=200+(75\times 2) = 350$

For x = 2, equation (2)

$y= 125\times 2 =250$

Hence, for 2 hours, DJ B would be a better choice since it would charge $250.

For x = 6 hours, equation (1)

$y=200+(75\times 6) =650$

For x= 6, equation (2)

$y=125\times 6=750$

For 6 hours, DJ A would be better option since it charges $650 for 6 hours.

The time between calls made to Amazon's customer service is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes (taken between e

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The probability that the time between the next two calls is between 3 minutes and 7 minutes is 0.2442.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = time between calls made to Amazon's customer service.

The average time between calls is, <em>β</em> = 10 minutes.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows an Exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{1}{10}=0.10$

The probability distribution function of <em>X</em> is:

$f_{X}(x)=\left \{ {{\lambda e^{-\lambda x};\ x>0}} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.$

Compute the probability that the time between the next two calls is between 3 minutes and 7 minutes as follows:

$P(3$

Thus, the probability that the time between the next two calls is between 3 minutes and 7 minutes is 0.2442.

What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

defon

ANSWER

The correct answer is C $x=3$ .

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

We have

$4x+2y=12---(1)$

and

$x-y=3---(2)$ .

We solve the two equation simultaneously by elimination method. We need to be smart and eliminate y, since we are looking for $x$ .

We first multiply equation (2) by 2

$2x-2y=6---(3)$ .

We add equation (3) and (1).

$\Rightarrow 6x=18$ .

Dividing through by 6 gives

$x=3$ .
