Pablo's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs Pablo $5.50 per pound, and type B coffee costs $4.40 per
pound. This month, Pablo made 174 pounds of the blend, for a total cost of $869.00. How many pounds of type B coffee did he use?
Number of pounds of type B coffee:

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

We know blend A costs 5.50 and blend B costs 4.30. We know that Pablo made 153 pounds of coffee this month. Let's let A=amount of blend A used and B=amount of blend B used. Since he made 153lbs coffee, we know that

A+B=153.

But he spent 756.30. The total amount he spent on a blend of coffee is the price * amount used. So he spent 5.50*A on blend A and 4.30*B on B, so in total, he spent 5.50*A+4.30*B in coffee. But this must add to 756.30! So

5.5A+4.3B = 756.30

Now we have two equations:

A+B = 153

5.5A + 4.3B = 756.30

We need to solve for B. I hate decimals so let's get rid of them in the second equation by multiplying both sides of the equation by 100 (which simply moves the decimals on everything two to the right). So now we have

A+B = 153

550A + 430 B = 75630

Now let's multiply the first equation by 550 (so we can eventually get rid of pesky A). So multiply the left and right side of the first equation by 550, so we have

550A + 550B = 84150

550A + 430B = 75630

Now subtract the second equation from the first, notice that since both have 550A, they cancel, so we obtain

120B = 8520

Now divide by 120 into both sides to solve for B, we get

B= 8520/120 = 71

So Pablo used 71lbs of blend B.

Two cards are drawn from a standard deck without replacement. What is the probability that the first card is a heart and the second card is red

Answers

Answer:

25/208 or 12.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

P(heart) = 13/52 = 1/4

P(red) = 26/52 = 1/2

because we are not replacing the first card drawn, the deck has 51 cards remaining

P(heart, red) = 1/4 × 25/52

= 25/208 or 12.2%

There is a bag filled with 3 blue and 4 red marbles.
A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is not replaced.
Another marble is taken at random.
What is the probability of getting 2 of the same colour?

Answers

Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.4286 = 42.86% probability of getting 2 of the same colour.

The marbles are chosen without replacement, hence the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

What is the hypergeometric distribution formula?

The formula is:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.N is the size of the population.n is the size of the sample.k is the total number of desired outcomes.

In this problem:

There is a total of 3 + 4 = 7 marbles, hence N = 7.Of those, 3 are blue, hence k = 3.2 marbles will be taken, hence n = 2.

The probability of getting 2 of the same colour is the sum of P(X = 0), which is both red, with P(X = 2), which is both blue, then:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = h(0,7,2,3) = \frac{C_{3,0}C_{4,2}}{C_{7,2}} = 0.2857[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = h(2,7,2,3) = \frac{C_{3,2}C_{4,0}}{C_{7,2}} = 0.1429[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 2) = 0.2857 + 0.1429 = 0.4286[/tex]

0.4286 = 42.86% probability of getting 2 of the same colour.
