Answer:

(D)$81

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of purses a vendor sells daily has the probability distribution represented in the table.

Expected Value, E(x)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}x\cdot p(x)

Therefore:

E(x)=(0X0.35)+(1X0.15)+(2X0.2)+(3X0.2)+(4X0.03)+(5X0.07)\\=0+0.15+0.4+0.6+0.12+0.35\\E(x)=1.62

If each purse sells for $50.00, the number of expected daily total dollar amount taken in by the vendor from the sale of purses

=Expected Value X $50

=1.62 X $50

=$81

The correct option is D.

During a blizzard it snowed 5 and 8/10in after a week the sun had melted 3 and 1/2 inches of snow how many inches of snow is lef
WITCHER [35]

2\frac{3}{10} inches of snow is left

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

From given,

Original\ amount\ of\ snow = 5\frac{8}{10}\ inches = \frac{10 \times 5 + 8}{10} = \frac{58}{10}\ inches

Sun\ melted = 3\frac{1}{2}\ inches = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}\ inches

<em><u>how many inches of snow is left</u></em>

Snow left = original amount of snow - sun melted

Snow\ left = \frac{58}{10} - \frac{7}{2}\\\\Snow\ left = \frac{58}{10} - \frac{7 \times 5}{2 \times 5}\\\\Snow\ left = \frac{58}{10} - \frac{35}{10}\\\\Snow\ left = \frac{58 - 35}{10}\\\\Snow\ left = \frac{23}{10}\\\\\In\ mixed\ fractions\\\\Snow\ left = 2\frac{3}{10}

Thus 2\frac{3}{10} inches of snow is left

A cable company uses the formula S = 20,000 (1 + 0.08)y to estimate the number
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

C. Every year the number of subscribers is estimated to increase by 8% over the

number of subscribers the year before.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula :

S = 20,000 (1 + 0.08)^y to estimate ;

S = number of subscribers ; y = years

The expression : (1 + 0.08)^y

0.08 = 0.08 * 100% = 8%

(1 + 0.08)^y represents a continous growth or increase in the number of subcsribers by 8% over the number of subscribers the preceeding year

In politics, marketing, etc. we often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is t
klemol [59]

Answer:

The conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality is  

   0.325  <  p <  0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sample proportion is  \r p =  0.35

    The  margin of error is  E =  0.025

The confidence interval is mathematically represented as

           \r p  -E  <  p <  \r p +E

=>        0.35 - 0.025 <  p <  0.35 + 0.025

=>      0.325  <  p <  0.375

Describe an example in which two variables are strongly correlated, but changes in one do not cause changes in the other.
miv72 [106K]

Just because 2 things are related doesn't mean they will both be changed when one thing happens. For example steak and candy, just because they are both food doesn't mean they taste the same or interact with each other.
