Using the probability table, it is found that:

  • a) There is a 0.25 = 25% probability that this couple spends 45 dollars or more.  
  • b) The expected amount the couple actually has to pay is $36.85.

Item a:

To find the probabilities involving the total cost, we have to <u>add the variables X and Y</u> from the table, then:

P(X = 30) = P(X = 15|Y = 15) = 0.2

P(X = 35) = P(X = 15|Y = 20) + P(X = 20|Y = 15) = 0.15 + 0.15 = 0.3

P(X = 40) = P(X = 15|Y = 25) + P(X = 20|Y = 20) + P(X = 25|Y = 15) = 0.05 + 0.15 + 0.05 = 0.25

P(X = 45) = P(X = 20|Y = 25) + P(X = 25|Y = 20) = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2

P(X = 50) = P(X = 25|Y = 25) = 0.05

The probability involving <u>values of 45 or more</u> is:

P(X \geq 45) = P(X = 45) + P(X = 50) = 0.2 + 0.05 = 0.25

0.25 = 25% probability that this couple spends 45 dollars or more.

Item b:

For a <em>discrete distribution</em>, the expected value is the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability</u>, hence, involving the 10% discount for prices above $45:

E(X) = 0.2(30) + 0.3(35) + 0.25(40) + 0.9[0.2(45) + 0.05(50)] = 36.85

The expected amount the couple actually has to pay is $36.85

Xelga [282]

Answer: 19.2 inches would be the most reasonable answer, since the first two is too small, and the last answer would be too tall.

if there was 2 feet of water, it would be 24 inches full. taking 1 gallon out, wouldn't make the difference to make it go up or down much.

Henry and reiko both used 1 yard of ribbon to make bows. write two different fractions to show that Henry and reiko use the same
Natalka [10]
To show that they used the same amount of ribbon you could take the 1 yard and divided into different sized equal groups.

1 yard divided by four equals 1/4 yard for each of four ribbons.

1 yard divided by six equals 1/6 yard for each of six ribbons.

You could have ribbons the size of 1/4 our yard and 1/6 yard, but you would have different amounts of each.

Ali finished his history assignment in 1/4
Lina20 [59]
Hello there!

For this you simply need to give both fractions a common denominator!

The easiest way to do this specific problem would be to make the denominator 12. Why 12? Because 4 x 3 = 12.

So:

1/4 --> ?/12 --> 1 (3) / 12 --> 3/12

2/3 --> ?/12 --> 2 (4) / 12 --> 8/12

Total amount of time means the sum (adding them together).

When adding fractions, you MUST have a common denominator! (Which is what we just did).

So 3/12 + 8/12 = (8+3) / 12 = 11/12 hours

Notice how the denominator stayed the same? When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominator stays the same! :)

Hope this helped!
