7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

in total we have 3+4 = 7 balls.

when we draw the first ball, the probability to draw a red ball is 3/7, and a blue ball 4/7.

when we draw the second ball, we have now only 6 balls in total.

the probabilty to draw a red back now depends also on the result of the first draw.

if the first ball was already red, then we have only a chance now of 2 out of 6.

if the first ball was blue, then we have now a chance of 3 out of 6.

so, the probably to draw at least 1 red ball in 2 draws is the probability of drawing one on the first draw plus the probability of drawing one on the second :

1 - probability to see 2 blue balls

1 - 4/7 × 3/6 = 1 - 12/42 = 30/42 = 0.714285714...

the expected number of red balls in 2 draws is

1 red in first red in first red in second

but not second and second but not first

1×(3/7 × 4/6) + 2×(3/7 × 2/6) + 1×(4/7 × 3/6) = 12/42 + 12/42 + 12/42 = 36/42 = 6/7 = 0.857142857 ≈ 0.8571

Rebotar Inc.makes basketballs.Their fixed costs are $3,450.
melomori [17]

Answer:

<em>Since the profit is positive, Rebotar not only broke even, they had earnings.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Function Modeling</u>

The costs, incomes, and profits of Rebotar Inc. can be modeled by means of the appropriate function according to known conditions of the market.

It's known their fixed costs are $3,450 and their variable costs are $12 per basketball produced and sold. Thus, the total cost of Rebotar is:

C(x) = 12x + 3,450

Where x is the number of basketballs sold.

It's also known each basketball is sold at $25, thus the revenue (income) function is:

R(x) = 25x

The profit function is the difference between the costs and revenue:

P(x) = 25x - (12x + 3,450)

Operating:

P(x) = 25x - 12x - 3,450

P(x) = 13x - 3,450

If x=300 basketballs are sold, the profits are:

P(300) = 13(300) - 3,450

P(300) = 3,900 - 3,450

P(300) = 450

Since the profit is positive, Rebotar not only broke even, they had earnings.

If 1-cosA = 1/2 , Then find the value of sinA.
zimovet [89]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

1- cosA = 1/2

or, CosA = 1 -1/2

Therefore ; CosA = 1/2 = b/h

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

P = root under h^2 - b^2

= root under (2)^2 - (1)^2

= root under 4 -1

= root 3

Again,

SinA = P/h

= root 3 / 2
