Suppose that the weather forecast indicates a 10% chance that cold weather will reduce the citrus grower’s profit from $100,000 to $85,000 and a 10% chance that cold weather will reduce the profit to $75,000. Should the grower spend $5000 to protect the citrus fruit against the possible bad weather?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We can think in this situation as:

There is 10% (or a probability equal to 0.1) where the citrus grower's profit will be reduced by $15,000

There is 10% (or a probability equal to 0.1) where the citrus grower's profit will be reduced by $25,000

And in the remaining 80% (or a probability equal to 0.8), the profit does not change.

Then the expected value for the total profit can be written as:

EV = $100,000 + ( 0.1*(-$15,000) + 0.1*(-$25,000) + 0.8*$0)

     =  $96,000

In the case where the citrus grower spends $5000 to protect the fruits against possible bad weather, there is a 100% that is profit will not change, but he must pay $5,000

Then his profit will be:

P = $100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000

So in this case, the profit is $1000 less than the expected profit in the prior case. So the scenario where he does not buy the protection has a larger expected profit, which may mean that is better to not buy it (in a straight mathematical point of view)

One also could think that  the values are really close together, so buying the protection does not mean a big change, and increases the security

To make a sand sculpture Arthur used 2 cm³ of red sand with a density of 4 g/cm³ 7 cm³ of yellow sand with a density of 5 g centimeter and 5 cm³ of brown sand with a density of 6 g cubiccm³ what is the average density of the sculpture in grams per cubic centimeter express your answer as decimal to the nearest 10th.

Answers

Answer:

  5.2 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a sculpture consisting of 2 cm³ at 4 g/cm³, 7 cm³ at 5 g/cm³, and 5 cm³ at 6 g/cm³, you want its average density.

Mass

The total mass of the sculpture is the sum of the masses of the components. Each of those is the product of its volume and density.

  red sand: (2 cm³)(4 g/cm³) = 8 g

  yellow sand: (7 cm³)(5 g/cm³) = 35 g

  brown sand: (5 cm³)(6 g/cm³) = 30 g

The total mass of the sculpture is ...

  total mass = 8 g + 35 g + 30 g = 73 g

Volume

The total volume of the sculpture is the sum of the volumes of its parts:

  total volume = 2 cm³ +7 cm³ +5 cm³ = 14 cm³

Average density

The density is the ratio of mass to volume:

  ρ = (total mass)/(total volume) = (73 g)/(14 cm³) = 73/14 g/cm³

  = 5 3/14 g/cm³ ≈ 5.2 g/cm³

The average density of the sculpture is about 5.2 g/cm³.

Answers

The equation of circle is [tex]x^2+y^2=100[/tex]

The standard equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is given by:

[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex] ........(1)

This is the equation needed for the circle with a center at A(h, k) and a radius equal to r since it describes the relationship between the coordinates of any point on the circumference.

Now according to the question, it is given that the circle has the center at origin and length of its radius is 10.

Center = (h, k)=(0, 0)

Radius(r) = 10 units

Now, substituting the given values in (1) we get;

⇒[tex]x^2+y^2=100[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of circle centered at origin with radius 10 is [tex]x^2+y^2=100[/tex]

Answers

The length and width is 32 inches and 10 inches.

Let us assume the width of rectangle be w. So, length of rectangle = 3w + 2. As per the known fact, the length and width of rectangle for perimeter is related as - Perimeter = 2 (length + width)

Keep the values in formula to find the value of width

84 = 2 (3w + 2 + w)

Performing addition in bracket

84 = 2 (4w + 2)

Performing multiplication

84 = 8w + 4

8w = 84 - 4

Performing subtraction

8w = 80

w = 80 ÷ 8

Performing division

w = 10 inches

Finding length now -

Length = 3×10 + 2

Length = 30 + 2

Length = 32 inches

Hence, the length and width is 32 inches and 10 inches.

4m - t=m, for m
Solving for M

Answers

The solution of the given equation 4m - m - t = 0  for m is t/3.

According to the given question.

We have a linear equation in two variables i.e. 4m - t = m.

As we know that, an equation is said to be linear equation in two variables if it is written in the form of ax + by + c=0, where a, b & c are real numbers and the coefficients of x and y, i.e a and b respectively, are not equal to zero.

Since, we have to solve the given equation 4m - t = m for m. So, the solution of the equation 4m - t = m for m is given by

4m - t = m

⇒ 4m - m - t = 0   (subtracting m both the sides)

⇒ 3m - t = 0

⇒  3m = t   (adding t both the sides)

⇒ m = t/3.

Hence, the solution of the given equation 4m - m - t = 0  for m is t/3.

What is an equation?

An equation is a mathematical expression or statement that shows that two values are equal.

An equation uses the equation mark (=).

Data and Calculation:

To have an average attendance per show of 3,000 for three shows, a total of 9,000 people must attend the three shows (3,000 x 3).

Attendance for the first show = 2,580

Attendance for the second show = 2,920

Total attendance for the two shows = 5,500

Required attendance for the third show, x = 9,000 = 2,580 + 2,920 + x

x = 9,000 - 5,500

x - 3,500

Thus, the equation for the third show attendance is 9,000 = 2,580 + 2,920 + x where x = 3,500.

What is tangent?

The tangent line to a plane curve at a given point is the straight line that "just touches" the curve at that point

Given

f at x=3 is y= 4x+2

g at x=3 is y=6x-1

f(3)= 4x+2  and g(3)=6x-1

y=f(x)g(x)

at x=3,

Solution for a:

y=f(3)g(3)

=(4x+2)(6x-1)

=24x²-4x+12x-2

=24x²+8x-2

So y=24x²+8x-2 at x=3.

Solution for b:

y=f(3)/g(3)

=(4x+2)/(6x-1)

So y=(4x+2)/(6x-1) at x=3.

Therefore y=24x²+8x-2 at x=3 for y = f(x)g(x) and  y=(4x+2)/(6x-1) at x=3 for y = f(x)/g(x).

To get to 1 we have to divide 60 by 60, and to get 25 we have to multiply 60 with 5/12 or 0.41.

Given that we have to get 1 by dividing 60 by something and multiply 60 by something to get 25.

We are required to find those numbers.

Take first result:

Suppose the number which divides 60 be x.

So,

60/x=1

x=60

Number will be 60.

Take second result:

Suppose the number which multiplied with 60 to get 25 be y.

So,

60*y=25

y=25/60

y=0.41

Number will be 0.41.

Hence to get to 1 we have to divide 60 by 60, and to get 25 we have to multiply 60 with 5/12 or 0.41.

The sequence starting with 0 but each number is two times three less than the previous number is as follows:

How to find sequence?

A sequence is defined as an arrangement of numbers in a particular order.

The most common sequence are the arithmetic and the geometric sequence.

The sequence starts with 0 but each number is two times three less than the previous number.

This means the first term of the sequence is 3.

Hence,

2 times 3 less than the previous number means:

Aₙ = Aₙ₋₁ - 2(3)

where,

n = number of terms

Let's use the formula to find the other numbers in the sequence,

A₂ = A₂₋₁ - 2(3) = 0 - 6 = -6

A₃ = A₃₋₁ - 2(3) = -6 - 6 = -12

A₄ = A₄₋₁ - 2(3) = -12 - 6 = - 18

A₅ = A₅₋₁ - 2(3) = -18 - 6 = - 22
