Answer:

  4

Step-by-step explanation:

The 10 non-yellow counters in the bag represent 5/7 of the total number of counters, c.

  10 = (5/7)c

  10(7/5) = c = 14

There are 14 counters in the bag, of which 14-10 = 4 are yellow.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Let y represent the number of yellow counters in the bag. The probability of drawing a yellow counter is the number of yellow counters divided by the total number of counters:

  y/(y +3 +7) = 2/7

Multiply both sides of this equation by 7(y+10) to get ...

  7y = 2(y +10)

  7y = 2y +20 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5y = 20 . . . . . . . . subtract 2y

  y = 20/5 = 4 . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

There are 4 yellow counters in the bag before any are taken.

__

<em>Another alternate solution</em>

If the probability of yellow is 2/7, the ratio of yellow (y) to non-yellow is ...

  yellow : non-yellow = 2 : (7-2) = 2 : 5 = y : (3+7) = y : 10 = 4 : 10

  ⇒ y = 4

There are 4 yellow counters in the bag.

Recycled​ CDs, Incorporated, offers a choice of 5 used CDs for ​$27​, with each additional CD costing ​$5. Write a cost function
notka56 [123]

A function assigns the values. The cost of 6 CDs will be $32.

<h3>What is a Function?</h3>

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

Given that the Recycled​ CDs. Incorporated, offers a choice of 5 used CDs for ​$27​, with each additional CD costing ​$5. Therefore, a cost function for purchasing 5 or more CDs, where x represents the number of CDs over 5 can be written as,

C(x) = $27 + $5(x)

Now, if 6 CDs are purchased then the number of CDs that are more than 5 is 1. therefore, the cost of 6 CDs will be,

C(1) = $27 + $5(1)

     = $27 + $5

     = $32

Hence, the cost of 6 CDs will be $32.

You must first normalize this in order to use a Z-score table. To convert what you have into a Z score you must use this formula: (x- mean) /standard deviation. In your case (334-310)/12=2. So now you want the probability that a score is greater than 334, which in turn means you want P(Z>2)=1-P(Z<2)=1-.9772=0.0228=2.28%.
