Set up an algebraic equation that could represent the following situation:
Nkateko sells bananas at the low but fixed price of R3/kg. In order to ensure that she makes a reasonable profit, she adds a certain fixed amount of money to any quantity of bananas purchased. A customer who bought 4 kg of bananas was observed paying R14.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The profit for any purchased of bananas is R2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 kg banana = R 3

Banana purchased = 4 kg

So, the cost of 4 kg bananas = 4 x 3 = R 12

Amount paid = R 14

Profit = R 14 - R 12 = R 2

So, the profit on any purchased of bananas is R 2.

The order of the lettering is important because the order tells us how the letters pair up.

For DCB and CDJ, we have D and C as the first letters. So that means angle D and angle C are congruent between the triangles. I've marked this in red. The other angles are handled the same way.

A density graph is used to find the probability of a discrete random variable
taking on a range of values.
A. True
B. False

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

This is false because A density graph is not used to find the probability of a discrete random variable taking on a range of values. This is because you have to use a calculations instead of a graph. The correct how to calculate is: Determine a single event with a single outcome. Identify the total number of outcomes that can occur. Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes.

Therefore, it's B ( false).

[tex]2(x+3)=x−4[/tex]

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

[tex]2(x+3)=x−4 \\ (2)(x)+(2)(3)=x+−4(Distribute) \\ 2x+6=x+−4 \\ 2x+6=x−4[/tex]

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

Answers

Answer:

D.  15.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of outcomes:

2¹⁵ =  32768

Number of combinations of getting 6 heads:

15C6 = 15!/6!(15-6)! = 5005

Required probability is:

P(6 heads out of 15 flips) = 5005/32768 = 0.1527... ≈ 15.3%

Correct choice is D

Answer:

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sample space

                               =  [tex]2^{15}[/tex]

Number of ways 6 heads can emerge in 15 flips

                                                                          = [tex]15C_6[/tex]

A manufacturer claims that the mean lifetime,u , of its light bulbs is 51 months. The standard deviation of these lifetimes is 7 months. Sixty bulbs are selected at random, and their mean lifetime is found to be 53 months. Can we conclude, at the 0.1 level of significance, that the mean lifetime of light bulbs made by this manufacturer differs from 51 months?

Can we conclude that the mean lifetime of the bulbs made by this manufacture differ from 51 months?

Answers

Answer:

We reject  H₀, and conclude thet the mean lifetime of the bulbs differ from 51 month

Step-by-step explanation:

Manufacturing process under control must produce items that follow a normal distribution.

Manufacturer information:

μ  =  51 months     mean lifetime

σ  =  7 months       standard deviation

Sample Information:

x  =  51 months

n  =  60

Confidence Interval  =  90 %

Then significance level  α  =  10 %  α  =  0.1    α/2  =  0,05

Since it is a manufacturing process the distribution is a normal distribution, and with   n = 60 we should use a Z test on two tails.

Then from z- table z(c) for  α = 0,05  is  z(c)  = 1.64

Hypothesis  Test:

Null Hypothesis                              H₀            x  =  μ

Alternative Hypothesis                  Hₐ            x ≠  μ

To calculate z statistics  z(s)

z(s)  =   (  x   -  μ )  / σ /√n

z(s)  =   (  53  -  51 ) / 7 /√60

z(s)  =  2 * 7.746 / 7

z(s)  = 2.213

Comparing  z(s)  and  z(c)

z(s)  >  z(c)   then  z(s)  is in the rejection region

We reject  H₀, and conclude thet the mean lifetime of the bulbs differ from 51 month

While eating your yummy pizza, you observe that the number of customers arriving to the pizza station follows a Poisson distribution with a rate of 18 customers per hour. What is the probability that more than 4 customers arrive in a 10 minute interval

Answers

Answer:

0.1848 = 18.48% probability that more than 4 customers arrive in a 10 minute interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

Rate of 18 customers per hour.

This is [tex]\mu = 18n[/tex], in which n is the number of hours.

10 minute interval:

An hour has 60 minutes, so this means that [tex]n = \frac{10}{60} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex], and thus [tex]\mu = 18\frac{1}{6} = 3[/tex]

What is the probability that more than 4 customers arrive in a 10 minute interval?

This is:

[tex]P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1680[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)[/tex] = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 + 0.1680 = 0.8152[/tex]

And

[tex]P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.8152 = 0.1848[/tex]

0.1848 = 18.48% probability that more than 4 customers arrive in a 10 minute interval.

Chris was given 1/3 of the 84 cookies in the cookie jar. He ate 3/4 of the cookies that he was given. How many cookies did Chris eat?

Answers

Answer:

21 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

First we know that Chris was given a third of 84 cookies so we can start working on this problem by figuring out what a third of 84 is. We can do this by multiplying 84 by 1/3 or just dividing by 3, which gives us: 84/3 = 28

So now we know that Chris was given 28 cookies, we can figure out what 3/4 of that is to work out how many cookies he ate. 28 x (3/4) = 21 cookies.

Chris ate 21 cookies.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (0, 1) and a directrix of y = -1. ​

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is y = x²/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given focus of the parabola = (0, 1)

The directrix of the parabola is y = -1

A form of the equation of a parabola is presented as follows;

(x - h)² = 4·p·(y - k)

We note that the equation of the directrix is y = k - p

The focus = (h, k + p)

Therefore, by comparison, we have;

k + p = 1...(1)

k - p = -1...(2)

h = 0...(3)

Adding equation (1) to equation (2) gives;

On the left hand side of the addition, we have;

k + p + (k - p) = k + k + p - p = 2·k

On the right hand side of the addition, we have;

1 + -1 = 0

Equating both sides, gives;

2·k = 0

∴ k = 0/2 = 0

From equation (1)

k + p = 0 + 1 = 1

∴ p = 1

Plugging in the values of the variables, 'h', 'k', and 'p' into the equation of the parabola, (x - h)² = 4·p·(y - k), gives;

(x - 0)² = 4 × 1 × (y - 0)

∴ x² = 4·y

The general form of the equation of the parabola, y = a·x² + b·x + c, is therefore;

y = x²/4.
