Two florists purchased flower bouquets and vases at the same store.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
5 0
The answer is:
flower bouqet = $2.75
vase = $3.50

x - the number of flower bouquets
y - the number of vases

<span>The first florist bought 3 flower bouquets and 5 vases for a total of $25.75:
3x + 5y = 25.75

</span><span>The second florist bought 8 flower bouquets and 2 vases for a total of $29.00:
8x + 2y = 29

This is the system of two equations:
</span>3x + 5y = 25.75
8x + 2y = 29
____
Divide the second equation by 2:
3x + 5y = 25.75
4x + y = 14.50
____
Express the second equation in the terms of y:
3x + 5y = 25.75
y = 14.50 - 4x
____
Substitute y in the first equation:
3x + 5(14.50 - 4x) = 25.75
3x + 72.50 - 20x = 25.75
-17x = 25.75 - 72.50
-17x = -46.75
x = -46.75/-17
x = $2.75

y = 14.50 - 4 * 2.75
y = 14.50 - 11
y = $3.50

16. A telemarketer makes six phone calls per hour and is able to make a sale on 30% of these contacts. During the next two hours
Reika [66]

Answer:

a) 23.11% probability of making exactly four sales.

b) 1.38% probability of making no sales.

c) 16.78% probability of making exactly two sales.

d) The mean number of sales in the two-hour period is 3.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each phone call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a sale is made, or it is not. The probability of a sale being made in a call is independent from other calls. 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.

A telemarketer makes six phone calls per hour and is able to make a sale on 30% of these contacts. During the next two hours, find:

Six calls per hour, 2 hours. So

n = 2*6 = 12

Sale on 30% of these calls, so p = 0.3

a. The probability of making exactly four sales.

This is P(X = 4).

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

P(X = 4) = C_{12,4}.(0.3)^{4}.(0.7)^{8} = 0.2311

23.11% probability of making exactly four sales.

b. The probability of making no sales.

This is P(X = 0).

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

P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{12} = 0.0138

1.38% probability of making no sales.

c. The probability of making exactly two sales.

This is P(X = 2).

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

P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.1678

16.78% probability of making exactly two sales.

d. The mean number of sales in the two-hour period.

The mean of the binomia distribution is

E(X) = np

So

E(X) = 12*0.3 = 3.6

The mean number of sales in the two-hour period is 3.6.

Find the missing length indicated. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
musickatia [10]

Answer:

1). x = 81

2). x = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

1). By applying geometric mean theorem in the given triangle,

   \frac{x}{18\sqrt{14}}= \frac{18\sqrt{14}}{56}

   56x = (18√14)²

   56x = 4536

   x = \frac{4536}{56}

   x = 81

2). By applying geometric mean theorem,

    \frac{x}{8\sqrt{21}}= \frac{8\sqrt{21} }{16}

    16x = (8√21)²

    16x = 1344

    x = \frac{1344}{16}

   x = 84
