Answer:

The price of T-shirts before the sale = 42 euros

The price of scarves before the sale = -77/2 euros

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the items Zina buys from the store initially are;

Two scarves and three T-shirts for 49 euros

The reduction in the price of scarves a week later during sales = 1.5 euros

The reduction in the price of T-shirts a week later during sales = 2 euros

The items Zina bought for 40 euros at the reduced price of the sales opportunity are;

Four scarves and five T-shirts for 40 euros

Let 'x' represent the initial price of a scarf and let 'y' represent the initial price of a T-shirt, we  have;

2·x + 3·y = 49...(1)

4·(x - 1.5) + 5·(y - 2) = 40...(2)

Expanding equation (2) gives;

4·x - 6 + 5·y - 10 = 40

4·x + 5·y = 40 + 6 + 10 = 56

∴ 4·x + 5·y = 56...(3)

By multiplying equation (1) by 2 and subtracting the result from equation (3), we get;

4·x + 5·y - 2 × (2·x + 3·y) = 56 - 2 × 49 = -63

-y = -42

y = 42

The price of T-shirts before the sale = 42 euros

x = (49 - 3 × 42)/2 = -77/2

x = -77/2

The price of scarves before the sale = -77/2 euros

(However, if the had bought the 4 scarves and 5 T-shirts during sales at 70 euros, we get;

The price of T-shirts before the sale = 12 euros

The price of scarves before the sale = 6.5 euros.

The allowable total price for the reduced 4 scarves and 5 T-shirts is between 66 and about 82 for both initial prices to be +ve)

A product is made up of components A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J. Components A, B, C, and F have a 1/10,000 chance of failure
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The overall reliability is 99.7402 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The overall reliability of the product is calculated as the product of the working probability of the components.

For components A,B,C and F we have :

P(failure)=\frac{1}{10000}

⇒

P(Work)=1-\frac{1}{10000}=\frac{9999}{10000}=0.9999

For components D,E,G and H we have :

P(failure)=\frac{3}{10000}

⇒

P(Work)=1-\frac{3}{10000}=\frac{9997}{10000}=0.9997

Finally, for components I and J :

P(failure)=\frac{5}{10000}

⇒

P(Work)=1-\frac{5}{10000}=\frac{9995}{10000}=0.9995

Now we multiply all the working probabilities. We mustn't forget that we have got ten components in this case :

Components A,B,C and F with a working probability of 0.9999

Components D,E,G and H with a working probability of 0.9997

Components I and J with a working probability of 0.9995

Overall reliability = (0.9999)^{4}(0.9997)^{4}(0.9995)^{2}=0.997402

0.997402 = 99.7402 %
