Answer:

0.2406 = 24.06% probability that exactly two of the selected major customers accept the plan

Step-by-step explanation:

The customers are chosen without replacement, which means that we use the hypergeometric distribution to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

50 major customers, 15 would accept the plan.

This means that N = 50, k = 15

The utility selects 10 major customers randomly (without replacement) to contact and promote the plan.

This means that n = 10

a. What is the probability that exactly two of the selected major customers accept the plan

This is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 2) = h(2,50,10,15) = \frac{C_{15,2}*C_{35,8}}{C_{50,10}} = 0.2406

0.2406 = 24.06% probability that exactly two of the selected major customers accept the plan

David bought 3 dvds and 4 books for $40 at a yard sale. Anna bought 1 dvd and 6 books for $18. How much did each dvd and book co
Ber [7]

Answer:

A book is worth $1 and a DVD is worth $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations (2 unknowns and two equations, d is for a DVD and b is for a book):

For David: 3d+4b=40

For Anna: d+6b=18

Now multiply the second equation with -3 and add to the first equation:

3d+4b=40

−3d−18b=−54

Combined equation: −14b=−14 and b=1 (means that each book is worth $1).

 

Now for DVD price, use the second equation:

d=18−6 or d=12 (means that each DVD  is worth $12).

A book is worth $1 and a DVD is worth $12.
