The number of months it would take to recover the cost of the machines is 12 months.

<h3> What is the total cost of the machines and the salary of the operators? </h3>

Total cost of the four machines = $5700 x 4 = $22,800

The total salaries of the machine operators in t months = 4t x $1,00 = $4,400t

Total cost = $22,800 + $4,400t

<h3>What is the amount saved by replacing the 8 clerks in t months? </h3>

($750 x 2t) + ($650 x 3t) + ($950 x 3t)

= $1500t + $1,950t +$2,850t

= $6300t

<h3>In how many months would it take to recover the cost of the machines? </h3>

$22,800 + $4,400t = $6300t

Combine similar terms

$22,800 = $6300t - $4400t

$22,800 = $1900t

Divide both sides by 1900

t = 12 months

grigory [225]

Answer:

The change to the face 3 affects the value of P(Odd Number)

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysing the question one statement at a time.

Before the face with 3 is loaded to be twice likely to come up.

The sample space is:

$S = \{1,1,2,2,2,3\}$

And the probability of each is:

$P(1) = \frac{n(1)}{n(s)}$

$P(1) = \frac{2}{6}$

$P(1) = \frac{1}{3}$

$P(2) = \frac{n(2)}{n(s)}$

$P(2) = \frac{3}{6}$

$P(2) = \frac{1}{2}$

$P(3) = \frac{n(3)}{n(s)}$

$P(3) = \frac{1}{6}$

P(Odd Number) is then calculated as:

$P(Odd\ Number) = P(1) + P(3)$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}$

Take LCM

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2+1}{6}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{6}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{1}{2}$

After the face with 3 is loaded to be twice likely to come up.

The sample space becomes:

$S = \{1,1,2,2,2,3,3\}$

The probability of each is:

$P(1) = \frac{n(1)}{n(s)}$

$P(1) = \frac{2}{7}$

$P(2) = \frac{n(2)}{n(s)}$

$P(2) = \frac{3}{7}$

$P(3) = \frac{n(3)}{n(s)}$

$P(3) = \frac{1}{7}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = P(1) + P(3)$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2}{7} + \frac{1}{7}$

Take LCM

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2+1}{7}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{7}$

Comparing P(Odd Number) before and after

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{1}{2}$ --- Before

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{7}$ --- After

<em>We can conclude that the change to the face 3 affects the value of P(Odd Number)</em>

Why is the slope the same on a line when different points are used to identify the slope?

emmainna [20.7K]

Different points are used to identify the line, this can mean that both points lie on the same line.
Therefore the slope is the same because the line passes through both those points.
