Korey is planning to open a comic book store. His store will cost $12,500 to open and will come with a $8,000 total annual operational cost. If his store makes $12,000 in profit during the first year, and profits increase by 6% each year from then, how long will it take for Korey to see an overall profit in his business (where total profits exceed total expenses)? a. Korey will see an overall profit in his first year of business. b. Korey will see an overall profit in his second year of business. c. Korey will see an overall profit in his third year of business. d. Korey will see an overall profit in his fourth year of business.

Answers

Answer:

c. Korey will see an overall profit in his third year of business

Step-by-step explanation:

His cost for first year

= 12500+8000

=$ 20500

Profit first year= $12000

Net Profit first year= -$8500

Second year cost= $8000

Profit second year

= 12000+12000(0.06)

= 12000+720

=$ 12720

Net profit second year = -8500+12720-8000

= -3780

Third year

Cost = $8000

Profit= 12720+12720(0.06)

Profit=$13483.2

Net profit= 13483.2-8000-3780

Net profit= $1703.2

Korey will see an overall profit in his third year of business.

What is profit?

The amount of money earned by any seller on the cost price is called the yield.

His cost for the first year

=  12500 + 8000

=$ 20500

Profit first year= $12000

Net Profit first year= -$8500

Second year cost= $8000

Profit second year

= 12000+12000(0.06)

= 12000+720

=$ 12720

Net profit second year = -8500+12720-8000

= -3780

Profit for Third-year

Cost = $8000

Profit= 12720+12720(0.06)

Profit=$13483.2

Net profit= 13483.2-8000-3780

Net profit= $1703.2

Therefore Korey will see an overall profit in his third year of business.

Answers

Answer:

(1) Cluster sample

(2) Systematic sample

(3) Random sample

(4) Systematic sample

(5) Stratified sample

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple random sample is a part of a statistical population in which every individual of the population has an equal probability of being selected.

Assigning each individual of the population a unique number and using a computer or random number generator for selection is a procedure to select a simple random sample.

Stratified sampling is a kind of sampling in which whole-population is distributed into homogeneous subgroups before one takes a sample. These subgroups are called strata which is mutually exclusive or related.

In this process the population members cannot be excluded.

Cluster Sampling is a method to randomly select samples from a population that is too enormous for simple random sampling.  

Using cluster sampling, the experimenter distributes the entire-population into distinct groups, called clusters. Then, a simple random sample of clusters is chosen from the population. Then the experimenter performs the analysis on data from the sampled clusters.

Systematic sampling is a kind of probability sampling method in which individuals from a larger population are nominated according to a random initial point and a static, periodic interval.

Consider all the definitions of different types of samples.

(1) Cluster sample

(2) Systematic sample

(3) Random sample

(4) Systematic sample

(5) Stratified sample

Using sampling concepts, it is found that the classifications are:

1. Cluster

2. Systematic

3. Random

4. Systematic

5. Stratified

Samples are classified as:

Random: All the options into a hat and drawn some of them. Systematic: Every kth element is taken.  Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed. Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, only some elements of each group are surveyed.

Item 1:

Teachers divided into groups according to their school, and all teachers are interview, hence Cluster sampling is used.

Item 2:

Every 7th customer, that is, every kth customer, hence Systematic sampling is used.

Item 3:

Random numbers, hence, Random sampling is used.

Item 4:

Every 100th customer, that is, every kth customer, hence Systematic sampling is used.

Item 5:

Four groups, then 10 for each group are selected, that is, a few members, hence Stratified sampling it used.

How to express a vector as a product of its length and direction?

Answers

Answer:

So the way to  express a vector( [tex]v =  2i - 2j - 2k[/tex]) as a product of its length and direction is

        [tex]v  =    |v| u =  \sqrt{12} (\frac{2}{ \sqrt{12} } , -\frac{2}{ \sqrt{12} }, - \frac{2}{ \sqrt{12} })[/tex]

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally a vector  is  expressed as a product of its length and direction using the formula below  

           [tex]v  =  |v|\cdot u[/tex]

Here v is the vector

        |v| is its magnitude (length)

         u is its unit vector (direction)

Now let take an example

Let  

     [tex]v =  2i - 2j - 2k[/tex]

The magnitude is mathematically evaluated as

          [tex]|v| =  \sqrt{ 2^2  + (-2)^2 +  (-2)^2 }[/tex]

         [tex]|v| =  \sqrt{12}[/tex]

The unit vector is mathematically represented as

        [tex]u  =  \frac{v}{|v|}[/tex]

        [tex]u  =  \frac{ <2 , -2 , -2>}{\sqrt{12} }[/tex]

    [tex]u =  \frac{2}{ \sqrt{12} } , -\frac{2}{ \sqrt{12} }, - \frac{2}{ \sqrt{12} }[/tex]

So

    [tex]v  =    |v| u =  \sqrt{12} (\frac{2}{ \sqrt{12} } , -\frac{2}{ \sqrt{12} }, - \frac{2}{ \sqrt{12} })[/tex]

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 270 square feet. It’s length is 12 feet longer than twice it’s width. Find the length and width of the wall of the barn.

Answers

Answer: 258

Step-by-step explanation: 270-12=w

The width of the wall is 9 feet and length is 30 feet.

What is perimeter of a rectangle ?

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all the sides.

According to the given question the area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 270 square feet. It’s length is 12 feet longer than twice it’s width.

Assuming the width of the rectangular wall to be x feet.

∴ From the given data length is 2x + 12 feet.

We know area of a rectangle is product of it's length and width.

So, { x × ( 2x + 12 ) } = 270.

2x² + 12x = 270.

2x² + 12x - 270 = 0

x² + 6x - 135 = 0

x² + 15x - 9x - 135 = 0

x(x + 15) - 9(x + 15) = 0

( x + 15 ) = 0 OR ( x+ 9 ) = 0

∴ x = -15 OR x = 9.          ( we know length can note be negative )

So, Width of the rectangle is 9 feet and length is 30 feet.

The head of operations for a movie studio wants to determine which of two new scripts they should select for their next major production. (Due to budgeting constraints, only one new picture can be undertaken at this time.) She feels that script 1 has a 70 percent chance of earning about $10,000,000 over the long run, but a 30 percent chance of losing $2,000,000. If this movie is successful, then a sequel will be produced, with an 80 percent chance of earning $5,000,000, but a 20 percent chance of losing $1,000,000. On the other hand, she feels that script 2 has a 60 percent chance of earning $12,000,000, but a 40 percent chance of losing $3,000,000. If successful, its sequel would have a 50 percent chance of earning $8,000,000, but a 50 percent chance of losing $4,000,000. Of course, in either case, if the original movie were a flop, then no sequel would be produced. What is the probability that script 1 will be a success, but its sequel will not?

Answers

Answer: $9,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is simply defined as the chance or likelihood that an event is going to happen or occur.

The probability that script 1 will be a success, but its sequel will not is the success of script 1 added to the failure of its sequel.

The total payoff will simply be the sum of the individual layoffs of both the success and the failure. This will be:

= $10,000,000 + (- $1,000,000)

= $10,000,000 - $1,000,000

= $9,000,000

Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.14 = 14% probability that script 1 will be a success, but its sequel will not.

Conditional Probability

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened. [tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening. P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Script 1 is a sequel.Event B: It's sequel is not.

Sequel 1 has a 70% probability of being a success, hence [tex]P(A) = 0.7[/tex].If it is a success, the sequel has a 80% probability of being a success, hence a 20% probability of being a failure, thus [tex]P(B|A) = 0.2[/tex]

Then:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B|A)[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.7(0.2)[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.14[/tex]

0.14 = 14% probability that script 1 will be a success, but its sequel will not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of arc is given by :-

[tex]l= \dfrac{x}{360}\times2\pi r[/tex] , where r= radius and x= central angle subtended by arc.

As per given , we have

[tex]x=30^{\circ}\\\\ r=18\ cm[/tex]

Then, the length of arc will be :

[tex]l=\dfrac{30}{360}\times2(3.14)(18)\\\\=\dfrac{1}{12}\times113.04\\\\=9.42\ cm[/tex]

Hence, the length of arc is 9.42 cm.

The length of an arc of a circle with radius 18cm is; L = 9.426cm

Length of an arc

The length of an arc can be evaluated using the formula;

L = (∆/360) × 2πr

Hence, the length of the given arc is;

L = (30/360) × 2 × 3.142 × 18cm
