Red : Yellow
6 : 8
(÷6) (÷6)
1 : 8/6
1 : 4/3

therefore, R = 4/3Y

Answer: R = 4/3Y

A coin is tossed, and a standard number cube is rolled. What is the probability that the coin shows heads and the number cube sh

Ainat [17]

So,

Since this is independent probability, the probability of the event above occurring is:
$(probability\ of\ heads)(probability\ of\ even\ no.)$

First, the probability of landing on heads.
$\frac{1}{2}$

Now, the probability of rolling an even number.
<u /> $\frac{3}{6}\ or\ \frac{1}{2}$

Plug it into the equation.
$\frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}$

The correct option is C.

If exactly 180 people sign up for a charter flight, Leisure World Travel Agency charges $298/person. However, if more than 180 p

Answer:

The max. revenue is $57,121.

This happens with 239 passengers.

The price of the ticket is $239 per person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variable "P" denote the number of passengers.

If P=180, then the ticket cost is $298/person. Then the price is reduced by $1 for each additional person.

In general, if P=(180+x), then the ticket cost becomes (298-x) per person.

The revenue can be defined as the ticket cost multplied by the number of passengers:

$R=P*T=(180+x)(298-x)=53,640-180x+298x-x^2\\\\R(x)=-x^2+118x+53,640$

We can derive R and equal to zero to maximize the function.

$dR/dx=-2x+118=0\\\\x=118/2=59$

The amount of passengers is:

$P=180+x=180+59=239$

The price of the tickets is

$T=298-59=239$

The revenue is:

$R(59)=(180+59)(298-59)=239*239\\\\R(59)=57,121$
