A company knows that if it sets the price of a product at p dollars, the number of units sold will be x million, where p = 2 - x. If the cost of the product is given by 0.25 + 0.5x million dollars. What price should be set to make a profit of $ 0.25 million?

Answers

Answer 1
Two Answers: p = 1.5 or p = 1

====================================================

Explanation:

x = number of products, in millions, sold

p = price per product

R = revenue

R = (number of products sold)*(price per product)

R = x*p

R = x(2-x)

R = 2x-x^2

C = costs

C = 0.25 + 0.5x

F = profit

F = revenue - costs

F = R - C

F = (2x - x^2) - (0.25 + 0.5x)

F = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25

We want a profit of 0.25 million, so plug in F = 0.25 and solve for x

F = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25

0.25 = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25

0 = -x^2 + 1.5x - 0.25 - 0.25

-x^2 + 1.5x - 0.5 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to find the two solutions to be x = 0.5 and x = 1

If x = 0.5, then p = 2-x = 2-0.5 = 1.5

If x = 1, then p = 2-1 = 1

There are two price points  (p = 1.5 and p = 1) that lead to the same profit F = 0.25

Gene is playing a game with a bag of marbles. 3 of the marbles are blue, 4 are green, and 7 are yellow. See below for awarded prizes. $2 green $0.5 yellow $4 blue What is the expected cost (or payout for Gene's game?

Answers

Answer:

$23.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Gene is playing a game with a bag of marbles. If 3 of the marbles are blue, 4 are green, and 7 are yellow and awarded prices for the marbles are $2 green $0.5 yellow $4 blue, the expected payout for Gens game is expressed as shown;

If a blue marble costs $4, 3 blue marbles will cost 3*$4 = $12

If a green marble costs $2, 4 green marbles will cost 4*$2 = $8.0

If a yellow marble costs $0.5, 7 yellow marbles will cost 7*$0.5 = $3.5

Total payout for Gene's game will be the equivalent to $12+ $8 + $3.5 = $23.5.

Hence Gene expected cost will be $21.5

For a sample of eight bears, researchers measured the distances around the bears' chests and weighed the bears. Minitab was used to find that the value of the linear correlation coefficient is r=0.989. Using alph=0.05, determine if there is a linear correlation between chest size and weight. What proportion of the variation in weight can be explained by the linear relationship between weight and chest size?

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Correlation Coefficient (r) = 0.989

alph=0.05

Number of observations (n) = 8

determine if there is a linear correlation between chest size and weight.

Yes, there exists a linear relationship between chest size and weight as the value of the correlation Coefficient exceeds the critical value.

What proportion of the variation in weight can be explained by the linear relationship between weight and chest size?

To determine the the proportion of variation in weight that can be explained by the linear regression line between weight and chest size, we need to obtain the Coefficient of determination(r^2) of the model.

r^2 = square of the correlation Coefficient

r^2 = 0.989^2 = 0.978121

Hence, about 0.978 (97.8%) of the variation in weight can be explained by the linear relationship between weight and chest size.

If the geometric mean of a and 120 is 60, find the value of a.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is option 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the mean formula is total score/number of score. So we can assume that total score is (a+120), number of score is 2 and the mean value is 60. Then you have to find the value of a :

[tex] \frac{a + 120}{2} = 60[/tex]

[tex]a + 120 = 60 \times 2[/tex]

[tex]a + 120 = 120[/tex]

[tex]a = 120 - 120[/tex]

[tex]a = 0[/tex]

[tex] \text{ Geometric mean of two numbers } a \text{ and } b , \text{ where } a,b>0 \text{ is given by } G= \sqrt{ab}[/tex]

[tex] \sqrt{a\cdot120}=60 [/tex]

Yes, because the P(A)P(B) = P(A and B). No, because the P(A) + P(B) ≠ P(A and B). Yes, because the P(A) + P(B) is greater than 100%.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, because the P(A)P(B) = P(A and B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent Events are events that occurs simultaneously i.e they occur at the same time. This means that the occurrence of one does not affect the other. If A and B are two events, for the to be independent then;

P(A and) = P(A)P(B)

Given: P(A) = watching a movie = 62% = 0.62

P(B) = going out to dinner = 46% = 0.46

The probability of watching a movie and going out to dinner will be

P(A and B)

P(A and B) = 0.62×0.46

P(A and B) = 0.2852

P(A and B) = 28.52%

Since the probability of watching a movie and going out to dinner is 28.52% which tallies with the question, hence it can be concluded that watching a movie and going out to dinner are independent events.

Piper deposited $734.62 in a savings account that earns 2.6% simple interest. What is Piper's account balance after seven years?

Answers

Answer:

Piper's account balance after 7 years = 734.62+133.70084=868.32084 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

first see te interest :

A=prt   (p is the deposited amount, r is the rate ,  t is the time)

A=734.62 *(2.6/100)* 7

A=133.70084

Piper's account balance after 7 years = 734.62+133.70084=868.32084 dollars

Answer:

$868.32

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to multiply 734.62 by 2.6%.

734.62 x 0.026 = 19.1

Then we need to multiply that by 7 (because 7 years).

19.1 x 7 = 133.7

Then add that to the initial deposit.

734.62 + 133.7 = 868.32

So after 7 years in a savings account your $734.62 would become $868.32.

What is Addition?

Addition can be defined as the process of adding two numbers such that the result is the combined value of the two numbers.

Given that in a 10-team league, each team play every other team exactly twice. Therefore, the total number of games that will be played by the first team is 18, similarly, the number of games that will be played by the second team is 16.

Therefore, as mentioned above the series will continue with a common difference of -2 and will continue till 0. Thus, the total number of games played in the league is,

Total number of games = 18 + 16 + 14 + 12 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 90

Answers

Answer:

The discount allowed per bag is kshs 4

while the discount allowed on all the 300 bags is kshs 1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the discount allowed on the sales of the bag of maize.

From the question, we are told that the sales man allowed a discount of 0.2% on the maize sold.

Now, to find the amount of this, we proceed as follows;

What we simply need to do is to find 0.2% of the each of the price of the maize bags, and then we can proceed to find the total discount given on all maize bags sold.

The discount on each bag of maize would be;

0.2% of kshs 2000

That would be;

0.2/100 * 2,000 = 400/100 = kshs 4

Since there are 300 bags, the total amount of discount allowed is 300 * kshs 4 = kshs 1,200

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

PART A

Let's look at our two equations.

y=3x-5

y=6x-8

We will solve this with substitution because we have two different values for y, so it will be be very easy to substitute.

We know that y is equal to 6x-8. This means that we can replace the y in the first equation with 6x-8 and then solve for x.

6x-8=3x-5

We add 8 to both sides.

6x=3x+3

We subtract 3x from both sides.

3x=3

We divide both sides by 3.

x=1

We can plug this x-value into either of our equations to figure out what y is.

y=6(1)-8

y=6-8

y=-2

Therefore, our solution is x=1 and y= -2.

PART B

When graphing the two equations in a systems of equation, the point where they intersect is the solution. We already have our solution, so now we will just write it as a point, which is (1,-2).

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x − 5

y = 6x − 8

I will use substitution by substituting for y in the first equation

y = 3x − 5

6x -8 = 3x-5

Subtract 3x from each side

6x-3x -8 = 3x-5-3x

3x-8 = -5

Add 8 to each side

3x-8+8 = -5+8

3x =3

Divide by 3

3x/3= 3/3

x =1

Now find y

y = 3x − 5

  = 3(1) -5

  =3-5

  = -2

( 1,-2)

The two lines will intersect at ( 1,-2)

The solution to the two equations is where the lines intersect.
