A citrus grower anticipates a profit of $100,000 this year if the nightly temperatures remain mild. Unfortunately, the weather f

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The grower should spend the $5,000, thereby reducing the profit to $95,000.

But, this is based on a 20% probability of freezing temperature during the next week.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) If freezing weather happens with a 20% chance, the profit will be reduced to $60,000.

With this probability, the probable loss will be 20% X $40,000 = $8,000.

B) If the grower can protect the fruit against freezing weather at a cost of $5,000, then she should go ahead. Doing this, the profit will be reduced to $95,000 because of the cost.

However, it is worthy to note that freezing weather happens at 20% chance. This implies that the freezing weather might not happen, 80% chance. But, prudence still demands that necessary precautions are taken, and this includes protecting the crop at a cost of $5,000.

I don’t know the answer. Please someone help :)

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, all we need is to points on the line.

Judging by that graph, we can see a point at (0,1) and at (5,4).

Simply enter this into the slope formula and you'll have your slope.

$\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Your y1 term is 1, your y2 term is 4.

Your x1 term is 0, your x2 term is 5.

$\frac{4-1}{5-0} \\\\\frac{3}{5}$

Your slope is $\frac{3}{5}$ .

Burka [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is 2.94 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The monthly precipitation for August in 20 different U.S. cities are observed in inches.

The data is given by: 3.5, 1.6, 2.4, 3.7, 4.1, 3.9, 1.0, 3.6, 4.2, 3.4, 3.7, 2.2, 1.5, 4.2, 3.4, 2.7, 0.4, 3.7, 2.0 and 3.6.

We intend to find the mean of the given data.

Therefore mean of the precipitation is ∑data ÷ 20 = $\frac{58.8}{20}$ = 2.94 inches.

Thus the mean of the data is 2.94 inches.
