The cost of a unit is made up of $6.25 material cost, $4.75 labour cost, and $3.25 overhead. What is the ratio that exists betwe

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The ratio that exist between this three elements are 25 : 19 : 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio compares one thing to another. Ratios indicate the comparison of the size of a number to another . One trick about ratio is that you can multiply or divide the ratios by same number. For example the ratio of boy to girls can be represented as 3 : 4. If you multiply the ratios by 2 you will get the ratio 6 : 8 and it still represent the same ratios of boys to girls. Ratios can be written as a fraction for example 3/4 for our example.

The cost of the unit is made up of $6.25 , $4.75 and $3.25.

$6.25 $4.75 $3.25 . Let us multiply by 100 to remove the decimals.

625 : 475 : 325 . Now let simplify the ratios by dividing through by 25.

625/25 : 475/25 : 325/25 . The simplest ratios can be written as follows

The ratios are 25 : 19 : 13.

A 10-foot ladder leans against a wall so that it is 6 feet high at the top. The ladder is moved so that the base of the ladder t

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The top of the ladder is now at 10 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the start, we have a height H=6, a length L=10 and a base B, that has to be calculated by the Pythagorean theorem:

$B^2=L^2-H^2=10^2-6^2=100-36=64\\\\B=\sqrt{64}=8$

The base is moved twice the distance the height moves up.

We called this distance x, so we have:

$L^2=(H+x)^2+(B-2x)^2=H^2+2Hx+x^2+B^2-4Bx+4x^2\\\\L^2=(H^2+B^2)+5x^2+(2H-4B)x\\\\L^2=L^2+5x^2+(2H-4B)x\\\\0=5x^2+(2H-4B)x\\\\5x+(2H-4B)=0\\\\x=\dfrac{4B-2H}{5}=\dfrac{4*8-2*6}{5}=\dfrac{32-12}{5}=\dfrac{20}{5}=4$

The new height (H+x) is

$H'=H+x=6+4=10$

The base travels 2x=8, so the new base B' is 0.

This means that the ladder is all against the wall (L=H').

A survey conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center reported, among other things, that women spend an average of

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected woman shop exactly two hours online is 0.217.

(b) The probability that a randomly selected woman shop 4 or more hours online is 0.0338.

(c) The probability that a randomly selected woman shop less than 5 hours online is 0.9922.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = time spent per week shopping online.

It is provided that the random variable X follows a Poisson distribution.

The probability function of a Poisson distribution is:

$P (X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!} ;\ x=0,1,2,...$

The average time spent per week shopping online is, λ = 1.2.

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected woman shop exactly two hours online over a one-week period as follows:

$P (X=2)=\frac{e^{1.2}(1.2)^{2}}{2!} =0.21686\approx0.217$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected woman shop exactly two hours online is 0.217.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected woman shop 4 or more hours online over a one-week period as follows:

P (X ≥ 4) = 1 - P (X < 4)

= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1) - P (X = 2) - P (X = 3)

$=1-\frac{e^{1.2}(1.2)^{0}}{0!}-\frac{e^{1.2}(1.2)^{1}}{1!}-\frac{e^{1.2}(1.2)^{2}}{2!}-\frac{e^{1.2}(1.2)^{2}}{3!}\\=1-0.3012-0.3614-0.2169-0.0867\\=0.0338$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected woman shop 4 or more hours online is 0.0338.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected woman shop less than 5 hours online over a one-week period as follows:

P (X < 5) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 4)

$=\frac{e^{1.2}(1.2)^{0}}{0!}+\frac{e^{1.2}(1.2)^{1}}{1!}+\frac{e^{1.2}(1.2)^{2}}{2!}+\frac{e^{1.2}(1.2)^{3}}{3!}+\frac{e^{1.2}(1.2)^{4}}{4!}\\=0.3012+0.3614+0.2169+0.0867+0.0260\\=0.9922$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected woman shop less than 5 hours online is 0.9922.
