Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n , then

\frac{1}{4} n + \frac{1}{8} n = 12 ( multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions )

2n + n = 96

3n = 96 ( divide both sides by 3 )

n = 32

The number is 32

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lannister checks out 6 sets of book

Each set had the same number of books

She reads 7 books and has 11 more to go

Therefore the number of books in each set can be calculated as follows

= 11+7

= 18

18/6

= 3

Hence there are 3 books in each set

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires. Given its specific needs, the management feels that there is a 50%
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a) 0.9

b) Mean = 1.58

Standard Deviation = 0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires.

Let X be the variable describing the number of hiring in the company.

Thus, x can take values 0,1 ,2 and 3.

P(x\geq 2) = 50\%= 0.5\\P(x = 0) = 10\% = 0.1\\P(x = 3) = 18\% = 0.18

a) P(firm will make at least one hire)

P(x\geq 2) = P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\0.5 = P(x=2) + 0.18\\ P(x=2) = 0.32

Also,

P(x= 0) +P(x= 1) + P(x= 2) + P(x= 3) = 1\\ 0.1 + P(x= 1) + 0.32 + 0.18 = 1\\ P(x= 1) = 1- (0.1+0.32+0.18) = 0.4

\text{P(firm will make at least one hire)}\\= P(x\geq 1)\\=P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\ = 0.4 + 0.32 + 0.18 = 0.9

b) expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.

E(X) = \displaystyle\sum x_iP(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 2(0.32)+3(0.18) = 1.58

E(x^2) = \displaystyle\sum x_i^2P(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 4(0.32) +9(0.18) = 3.3\\V(x) = E(x^2)-[E(x)]^2 = 3.3-(1.58)^2 = 0.80\\\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{V(x)} = \sqrt{0.8036} = 0.89
