Answer:

A is better, you pay 0.015 less than option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 gallon = 128 oz so:

3 x 128 = 384 oz

9.60 / 384 = $0.025 per oz

16.00 / 400 = $0.04 per OZ

Suppose that p is the probability that a randomly selected person is left handed. The value (1-p) is the probability that the pe

solmaris [256]

Answer:

a) 1/2

b) 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for $p$ such that $1000p(1-p)$ is maximized. Once we have that $p$ , we can easily find the answer to part b.

Finding the value that maximizes $1000p(1-p)$ is the same as finding the value that maximizes $p(1-p)$ , just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize $p(1-p)$ . To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.

$p(1-p)=p-p^2=-p^2+p=-(p^2-p)=-(p^2-p+1/4)-(-1/4)=-(p-1/2)^2+1/4$ .

Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of $p$ such that the inner part of the square term is equal to $0$ .

$p-1/2=0\\p=1/2$ .

So, the answer to part a is $\boxed{1/2}$ .

We can then plug $1/2$ into the equation for p to find the answer to part b.

$1000(1/2)(1-1/2)=1000(1/2)(1/2)=1000*1/4=250$ .

So, the answer to part b is $\boxed{250}$ .

And we're done!

HELP ASAP Three generous friends, each with some cash, redistribute their money as follows: Ami gives enough money to Jan and To

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

$252

Step-by-step explanation:

This is quite a neat question, with no fixed equation. Given that each person gives the other two enough money to double their cash, if Toy had 36 dollars beginning, and 36 at the end - presumably the cash of each person, ( their starting and original ) should be the same as well. Respectively each should be a multiple of 36 dollars.

Jan's " give away " = Ami + 36, Jan - 108, Toy + 72

Toy's " give away " = Ami + 72, Jan + 36, Toy - 108

Therefore, we can conclude that Ami = 144 at the start, presuming he gave away 108 dollars, with a remaining 36. Jan, having 144 dollars ( after having his 72 dollars doubled by Ami ) gives 36 to Ami to double his amount, and 72 to double Toy's doubled amount, remaining with 36 dollars. Now Ami has 72 dollars, Jan has 36, and Toy has 144. Then, Toy double's Ami and Jan's amount, giving away 72 and 36 dollars, remaining with 36 dollars himself. Therefore, Ami has 144 dollars, Jan has 72 dollars, and Toy has 36 dollars both at the beginning and end.

144 + 72 + 36 = 252 dollars ( in total )
