Answer:

  • A - 16, B - 79, C - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

  • A costs 5$
  • B costs  $0.25
  • C costs $0.05
  • A + B + C = 100
  • 5A + 0.25B + 0.05C = 100 ⇒ 100A + 5B + C = 2000

<u>Subtract the first equation from the second:</u>

  • 99A + 4B = 1900

<u>We have a restriction in numbers:</u>

  • 0 < A, B, C < 100

<u>Since 4B can be max 400, we get 99A > 1500  and 99A < 1900 so:</u>

  • A > 1500/99 > 15

and

  • A < 1900/99 < 19

A can be 16 or 18 as it should be even number to get B the whole number.

<u>If A = 16:</u>

  • 99*16 + 4B = 1900
  • 4B = 1900 - 1584
  • 4B = 316
  • B = 316/4 = 79

<u>If A = 18:</u>

  • 99*18 + 4B = 1900
  • 4B = 1900 - 1782
  • 4B = 118
  • B = 118/4 = 29.5, discarded as decimal

<u>So we get:</u>

  • A = 16, B = 79 and C = 100 - (16 + 79) = 5

<u>Let's proof the numbers:</u>

  • 16*5 + 79*0.25 + 5*0.05 = 100, confirmed

Question 15 of 40
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Option C: n = 32; p^ = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The normal curve can be used in this case if; np ≥ 10 or n(1 - p) ≥ 10

A) For n = 28 and p = 0.3;

np = 28 × 0.3 = 8.4 < 10

Thus, it can't be used.

B) For n = 28 and p = 0.9;

np = 28 × 0.9 = 25.2 > 10 Ok

n(1 - p) = 28(1 - 0.9) = 2.8 Not Ok

Thus, it can't be used

C) For n = 32 and p = 0.4

np = 32 × 0.4 = 12.8 > 10 Ok

n(1 - p) = 32(1 - 0.4) = 19.2 > 10 Ok

Thus, it can be used

D) For n = 32 and p = 0.2

np = 32 × 0.2 = 6.4 < 10 Not Ok

Thus it can't be used.
