The probability of selecting a cookie with either chocolate chips or pecans from a plate of 50 cookies is 36%.

The question asks about the probability of selecting a cookie with either chocolate chips or pecans from a plate of 50 cookies, with some overlapping flavors. Given the information:

Total cookies: 50

Chocolate chip cookies: 10

Pecan cookies: 14

Cookies with both flavors: 6

To calculate the probability of choosing a cookie with either chocolate chips or pecans (or both), we can use the formula:

P(C OR N) = P(C) + P(N) \'u2013 P(C AND N)

where:

P(C) is the probability of choosing a chocolate chip cookie,

P(N) is the probability of choosing a pecan cookie, and

P(C AND N) is the probability of choosing a cookie with both flavors.

Thus:

P(C) = 10/50 = 0.20,

P(N) = 14/50 = 0.28, and

P(C AND N) = 6/50 = 0.12.

Therefore:

P(C OR N) = 0.20 + 0.28 - 0.12 = 0.36 or 36%.

This is the probability that a randomly selected cookie from the plate will have either chocolate chips, pecans, or both.

Answer: 0.3173

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A machine that cuts corks for wine bottles operates in such a way that the distribution of the diameter of the corks produced is well approximated by a normal distribution with

[tex]\mu=4\ cm[/tex] and [tex]\sigma=0.2\ cm[/tex]

The specifications call for corks with diameters between 3.8 and 4.2 cm.

Let x be the random variable that represents the  the diameter of the corks.

Using formula [tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex], the z-score corresponding to x= 3.8 will be :_

[tex]z=\dfrac{3.8-4}{0.2}=1[/tex]

z-score corresponding to x= 4.2 will be :_

[tex]z=\dfrac{4.2-4}{0.2}=1[/tex]

Now, by using the standard normal distribution table for z, we have

[tex]\text{P value}=P(-1<z<1)=2P(z<1)-1\\\\=2(0.8413447)-1\\\\=0.6826894\approx0.6827[/tex]

∴The proportion of corks produced by this machine are meeting the specifications=0.6827

∴The proportion of corks produced by this machine are defective = [tex]1-0.6827=0.3173[/tex]

The question asks about the proportion of defective corks produced by a machine. Given that the corks diameters' are normally distributed with a mean of 4cm and a standard deviation of 0.2cm, and the specifications are between 3.8cm and 4.2cm, about 68% of corks will meet the specification. This implies that about 32% will be defective.

The subject of this question is statistics, specifically dealing with normal distribution, mean and standard deviation. To find the proportion of corks produced by the machine that are defective, we can use the properties of normal distribution where the diameters of the corks represent a normal distribution with µ (mean) = 4 cm and σ (standard deviation) = 0.2 cm.

As the corks' specification falls between 3.8 cm and 4.2 cm, these values are 1 standard deviation below and above the mean respectively. In normal distribution, the area (i.e., proportion) within one standard deviation is approximately 0.68 (or 68%). So, the proportion within the specification is 0.68.

To obtain the proportion of defective corks, you subtract the proportion within specification from 1 (the total proportion). Hence, the proportion of defective corks is 1 - 0.68 = 0.32 or 32%. This means that approximately 32% of the corks produced are outside the specification and are deemed defective.

Answer: 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The sweater department ran a sale last week and sold 95% of the sweaters that were on sale.

95% can be written as 0.95  [ by dividing 100 ]

Also, the number of sweaters sold = 38

Let x be the number of sweaters were on sale.

Then , we have the following equation :_

[tex]0.95x=38\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{38}{0.95}=\dfrac{3800}{95}=40[/tex]

Hence, 40 sweaters were on sale.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the revenue from manufacturing and selling x units of toaster ovens is given by [tex]R(x)=-0.3x^2+200x-82,000[/tex].

To find the amount of revenue earned from selling 3,000 toaster, we will substitute [tex]x=3,000[/tex] in the given formula as:

[tex]R(3,000)=-0.03(3,000)^2+200(3,000)-82,000[/tex]

[tex]R(3,000)=-0.03*9,000000+600,000-82,000[/tex]

[tex]R(3,000)=-270,000+518,000[/tex]

[tex]R(3,000)=248,000[/tex]

Therefore, the company should expect revenue of $248,000 from selling 3,000 toaster ovens.

Answer:

240

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The cost function for canoes, c(x) = 24,000 + 100x

Revenue function for canoes, R(x) = 200x

here, x is the number of canoes sold

Fixed cost = $24,000

Cost of production = $100

now at break even point, Revenue = cost

thus,

200x = 24,000 + 100x

or

100x = 24,000

or

x = 240 canoes

Hence, at breakeven, the number of canoes sold is 240

Answer:

The range represents the number of users each month for 24 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The range depends on the y axis. Looking at the y axis we see the number of users for each month. Looking at the x axis we see that it's 24 months not 20 months

From the graph, we can interpret the range represents the number of users each month for 24 months. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

We need to find what can be interpreted from the range of the given graph.

The range is the difference between the smallest and highest numbers in a list or set. To find the range, first put all the numbers in order. Then subtract (take away) the lowest number from the highest.

From the given graph, we can see the x-axis represents the number of months and the y-axis represents the number of users.

So, the range represents the number of users each month for 24 months

20-15.8=4.2

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Answer:

You can make 180 meals.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can look at this problem the following way:

For each appetizers, we can choose 3 salads.

For each salad, we can choose 5 entrees. So we already have 3 salads, each with 5 possible entrees, so there are already 3*5 = 15 possibilities.

For each entree, we can choose 4 desserts. So for each of the 15 possibilites of salad and entrees, there are 4 desserts. So there are 15*4 = 60 possibilities.

There are also 3 appetizers possible for each of the 60 possibilities of salads, entrees and desserts. So there are 60*3 = 180 possibilities.

Answer: SERIES = 670  Ω

PARALLEL = 91.94 Ω

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, resistors in series obey the following equation :

R1+ R2 = RT

RT is the equivalent resistance. We have the value of both resistances, so we apply the ecuation:

R1 = 110Ω, and R2 = 560Ω

110Ω+ 560Ω = 670 Ω

When resistors are in parallel, resistors obey the following equation:

1/R1 + 1/R2= 1/RT

so, in our case:

1/ 110Ω +1/560Ω = 1/rt

0.01087Ω = 1/RT

RT= 1/0.01087 Ω= 91.94 Ω

Answer:

The distance between the origin and the given point is 13.9283 units.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of origin are (0,0,0)

We are given a point R(9,7,80

The distance formula:

[tex]\sqrt{(y_1 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -x_2)^2 + (y_3 -x_3)^2}[/tex], where [tex](x_1, x_2, x_3)[/tex] are coordinates of one point and  [tex](y_1, y_2, y_3)[/tex] are coordinates of other point.

Putting the values as:

[tex]y_1 = 9, y_2 = 7, y_3 = 8\\x_1 =0, x_2 = 0, x_3 = 0[/tex]

We get d = [tex]\sqrt{81 + 64 + 49}[/tex]

d = [tex]\sqrt{194}[/tex]

d = 13.9283

Thus, the distance between the origin and the given point is 13.9283 units.

Sets and set operations are ways of organizing, classifying and obtaining information about objects according to the characteristics they possess, as objects generally have several characteristics, the same object can belong to several sets, an example is the subjects of a school , where students (objects) are classified according to the subject they study (set).

The intersection of sets is a new set consisting of those objects that simultaneously possess the characteristics of each intersected set, the intersection of two subjects will be those students who have both subjects enrolled.

Setting each factor equal to zero we get:

[tex]q=3\text{ or }q=\displaystyle-\frac{769}{200}[/tex]

Only a positive quantity makes sense, so q=3 is the equilibrium quantity.

To get the equilibrium price we just plug 3 in place of q in any of the functions. Let us use the demand function which is easier to handle:

[tex]D(3)=-338(3)+4634=3620[/tex]

Therefore the equilibrium price is p=3620

Answer:

a)Total Labor Cost = $600x + $30y.

b) Total variable cost = $3000.

c) Total labor cost last month = $6000.

d) Unit cost of labor per class = $60.

e) Total variable labor cost = $30 * 150 = $4500, Total Labor Cost = $3000 + $4500 = $7500, and Unit cost of labor per class = $7500/150 = $50.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) It is given that the labor cost includes two components: cost of trainers, which is actually their salaries, and cost of a fitness class taught. Fitness trainer costs $600 and one fitness class costs $30. Assuming there are x number of trainers and y number of classes, therefore the model can be expressed as:

Total Labor Cost = Fitness Trainer Cost * number of trainers + Fitness Class Cost * number of classes.

Total Labor Cost = $600x + $30y.

b) The total variable labor cost will be the cost spent on the number of classes. Since number of classes are 100 and the cost of one class is $30, therefore:

Total variable cost = cost of one class * number of classes.

Total variable cost = $30 * 100.

Total variable cost = $3000.

c) Furthermore, last month, x = 5 and y = 100. Plug these values in the total labor cost equation:

Total labor cost last month = $600(5) + $30(100).

Total labor cost last month = $3000 + $3000.

Total labor cost last month = $6000.

d) The total labor cost is $600. Number of classes are 100. Therefore:

Unit cost of labor per class = Total Labor Cost/Number of classes.

Unit cost of labor per class = $6000/100.

Unit cost of labor per class = $60.

e) If the number of classes are increases by 50%, this means that the number of classes will be 150 instead of 100. Therefore:

Total variable labor cost = $30 * 150 = $4500.

Total Labor Cost = $3000 + $4500 = $7500.

Unit cost of labor per class = $7500/150 = $50!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve your problem is knowing what is a column vector:

A column vector is a matrix that only has one column, and multiple rows.

The problem wants the vector to range from 15 to -25.

It means that the biggest value in the vector is 15, and the smallest is -25. Since it is from 15 to -25, the first element of your column vector is 15, and the last element is -25.

With a step size of 5

At each element, you decrease 5. So you have: 15,10,..,-20,-25.

The vector is:

8 rental movies will make the costs of the two stores be the same

Step-by-step explanation:

- Mr Cosgrove is comparing movie rentals deals

- Netflix charge a flat rate of $8.50

- Blockbuster charge $4.50 plus a $0.50 per movie

- We need to find how many movie rental make the costs of the two

  stores will be the same

- Assume that the number of rental movies is m

∵ Blockbuster charge $4.50 plus a $0.50 per movie

∴ Blockbuster cost = 4.50 + 0.50 m

∵ The cost of Netflix = 8.50

- Equate the two costs to find the number of the rental movies

∵ 4.50 + 0.50 m = 8.50

- Subtract 4.50 from both sides

∴ 0.50 m = 4

- Divide both sides by 0.50

∴ m = 8 movies

8 rental movies will make the costs of the two stores be the same

The problem states that there is a 40% chance of receiving it through the email. 23% just through email and 17% by both the email and the webpage.

By webpage only

There is a 35% chance of receiving it through the webpage. With this information, we have the following equation:

[tex]B + (A \cap B) = 0.35[/tex]

[tex]B + 0.17 = 0.35[/tex]

[tex]B = 0.18[/tex]

where B is the probability that the system receives the virus just through the webpage.

The problem states that there is a 35% chance of receiving it through the webpage. 18% just through the webpage and 17% by both the email and the webpage.

What is the probability that the virus does not enter the system at all?

So, we have the following probabilities.

- The virus does not enter the system: P

- The virus enters the system just by email: 23% = 0.23

- The virus enters the system just by webpage: 18% = 0.18

- The virus enters the system both by email and by the webpage: 17% = 0.17.

The sum of the probabilities is 100% = 1. So:

P + 0.23 + 0.18 + 0.17 = 1

P = 1 - 0.58

P = 0.42

There is a probability of 42% that the virus does not enter the system at all.

Answer:

(14a+3, 21+4) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to use the Euclidean Algorithm to prove that these two integers have a gcd of 1.

gcd (14a + 3, 21a + 4) = gcd (14a+3, 7a + 1) = gcd (1, 7a+1) = 1

Therefore,

(14a + 3, 21a + 4) = 1

Answer:

[tex]52\times \frac{7}{6}[/tex]

[tex]60\frac{2}{3}\text{ pounds}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total pounds eaten by cat in 3 weeks = [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex]= [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

∵ Each day the pounds of eaten is same,

⇒ Total pounds eaten in each week = [tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex]

∵ 1 year = 52 weeks,

So, the pounds eaten in 52 weeks or 1 year = 52 × pounds eaten in each week

= 52 × [tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex]

Which is the required expression,

By solving it,

The number of pounds eaten by cat in a year

[tex]=\frac{364}{6}[/tex]

[tex]=60\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Answer: The attendance before the increase was 4712.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the attendance before the increase be 'x'.

Rate of increment = 5%

so, Attendance after increment becomes

[tex]\dfrac{100+5}{100}\times x = 4948\\\\\dfrac{105}{100}\times x=4948\\\\1.05\times x=4948\\\\x=\dfrac{4948}{1.05}\\\\x=4712.38\\\\x=4712[/tex]

Hence, the attendance before the increase was 4712.

Final answer:

To find the original attendance, an equation was formulated where the original attendance (x) increased by 5% equals 4,948. By solving for x, the original attendance before the increase was determined to be approximately 4,712 when rounded to the nearest whole number.

Explanation:

The question asks to find the original attendance before a 5% increase that resulted in a final attendance of 4,948. To calculate the initial attendance, you can set up an equation where the original attendance (which we will call 'x') plus 5% of the original attendance equals the final attendance (4,948).

This can be expressed algebraically as:
x + 0.05x = 4948

Solving for x gives you:
1.05x = 4948
x = 4948 / 1.05
x = 4,712 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, the attendance before the increase was approximately 4,712.
