About 57 red pens were sold

<h3>Ratios and proportion</h3>

According to the information given:

number of packs of black pens sold: number of packs of red pens sold: number of packs of green pens sold = 7:3:4

  • Total ratio = 7 + 3 + 4 = 14
  • Total pen sold = 268

Number of red pens sold = 3/14 * 268

Number of red pens sold = 57 pens

Hence about 57 red pens were sold

The reference desk of a university library receives requests for assistance. Assume that a Poisson probability distribution with
NISA [10]

Answer:

a) 0.125

b) 7

c) 0.875 hr

d) 1 hr

e) 0.875

Step-by-step explanation:l

Given:

Arrival rate, λ = 7

Service rate, μ = 8

a) probability that no requests for assistance are in the system (system is idle).

Let's first find p.

a) ρ = λ/μ

\frac{7}{8} = 0.875

Probability that the system is idle =

1 - p

= 1 - 0.875

=0.125

probability that no requests for assistance are in the system is 0.125

b) average number of requests that will be waiting for service will be given as:

λ/(μ - λ)

= \frac{7}{8 - 7}

= 7

(c) Average time in minutes before service

= λ/[μ(μ - λ)]

= \frac{7}{8(8 - 7)}

= 0.875 hour

(d) average time at the reference desk in minutes.

Average time in the system js given as: 1/(μ - λ)

= \frac{1}{(8 - 7)}

= 1 hour

(e) Probability that a new arrival has to wait for service will be:

λ/μ =

{7}{8}

= 0.875

Answer:

The area of a rectangle is 520 square inches. The length is 3 more than twice the width. The equation 520 = 2w2 + 3w can be used to find the length and width of the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st statement:

l= 2w+3

A= l × w

520= w×(2w+3)

520= 2w²+ 3w

2nd statement:

length of fencing= w+2l

120= w+2l

l= 60-w/2

A= (60-w/2) × w

A= 60w- w²/2

Hence this statement is incorrect

3rd statement:

H= x

B= x-4

P= x-2

Accoriding to pythagoras theorem

H²=P²+B²

x²=(x-4)²+(x-2)²

x²= x²-8x+16 + x²-4x+4

0= x²-12x+20

Hence this statement is incorrect

4th statement:

two consecutive even numbers are given by n and n+2

So this statement is incorrect

A billboard is 2.5 times as long as it is wide.The area of the billboard is 2,250 ft.A scale drawing is made of the billboard,an
GaryK [48]
Width = w
Length = 2.5w

Area of Rectangle: Width × Length
w (2.5w) = 2250
2.5w^2 = 2250
w^2 = 2250/2.5 = 900
w = Sq rt of 900 = 30
l = 75

Ratio of inches to ft
x/30 = 160/2250
cross multiply: 2250x = 160 × 30
2250x = 4800
x = 4800/2250 = 2.13333...

length
x/75=160/2250
2250x = 75(160)
2250x = 12,000
x= 12,000/2250
x = 5.3333...

scale is 2.13" × 5.33"
