Answer:

The adjustment to the equation is made by dividing the tax amount by the percentage to unveil the original cost. Dividing by the percent acts as the inverse to the multiplication by the percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

x(1.06)=5.25

The factor of 1.06 appears because it represents the original price along with the tax. To isolate x, we can divide both sides by 1.06, which gives x about 4.95.

Thus, approximately $4.95 is the camera's cost rounded to the closest cent.

Problem 8-4 A computer time-sharing system receives teleport inquiries at an average rate of .1 per millisecond. Find the probab
Svet_ta [9496]

Response:  a) 0.9980, b) 0.0013, c) 0.0020, d) 0.00000026, e) 0.0318

Detailed explanation:

In Problem 8-4, the computer time-sharing system experiences teleport inquiries at an average rate of 0.1 per millisecond. We are tasked with determining the probabilities of the inquiries over a specific period of 50 milliseconds:

Given that

\lambda=0.1\ per\ millisecond=5\ per\ 50\ millisecond=5

Applying the Poisson process, we find that

(a) at most 12

probability=  P(X\leq 12)=\sum _{k=0}^{12}\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^k}{k!}=0.9980

(b) exactly 13

probability= P(X=13)=\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^{13}}{13!}=0.0013

(c) more than 12

probability= P(X>12)=\sum _{k=13}^{50}\dfrac{e^{-5}.(-5)^k}{k!}=0.0020

(d) exactly 20

probability= P(X=20)=\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^{20}}{20!}=0.00000026

(e) within the range of 10 to 15, inclusive

probability=P(10\leq X\leq 15)=\sum _{k=10}^{15}\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^k}{k!}=0.0318

Thus, a) 0.9980, b) 0.0013, c) 0.0020, d) 0.00000026, e) 0.0318

Evaluate the profit function at each vertex. P = 0.04x + 0.05y + 0.06(16 – x – y) (8, 1) P = (14, 1) P = (3, 6) P = (5, 10) P =
Svet_ta [9496]
The provided function is:
P = 0.04x + 0.05y + 0.06(16-x-y)

To determine the function's value at each vertex, simply plug in the respective x and y coordinates into the equation to find the value of P as shown below:
1- For (8,1):
P = 0.04x + 0.05y + 0.06(16-x-y)
P = 0.04(8) + 0.05(1) + 0.06(16-8-1)
P = 0.79

2- For (14,1):
P = 0.04x + 0.05y + 0.06(16-x-y)
P = 0.04(14) + 0.05(1) + 0.06(16-14-1)
P = 0.67

3- For (3,6):
P = 0.04x + 0.05y + 0.06(16-x-y)
P = 0.04(3) + 0.05(6) + 0.06(16-3-6)
P = 0.84

4- For (5,10):
P = 0.04x + 0.05y + 0.06(16-x-y)
P = 0.04(5) + 0.05(10) + 0.06(16-5-10)
P = 0.76

I hope this is useful:)

Ralph has budgeted $175 for entertainment. He uses this money to go out on dates for $35 or to go out with his friends for $15.
AnnZ [9099]
If Ralph allocated $180 rather than the intended $175 for entertainment, he spent $35 for each date and let's denote "x" as the number of dates he attended. He also spent $15 when going out with friends, where "y" represents his outings with friends.

The accurate equation is "B" which is 35x + 15y = 180.
