How much money is saved by buying a baker’s dozen instead of 13 individual rolls? Number of rolls
6
8
Baker’s dozen
Price ($)
$3.60
$4.80
$7.20

0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

If you purchase 6 rolls, you pay $3.60

Each roll is $0.60.

If you purchase 13 individual rolls, you pay

13 x 0.6 = $7.80

But if you purchase the Baker's dozen, you pay only $7.20, so you save $0.60

7.80 - 7.20 = 0.60

0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

If you purchase 6 rolls, you pay $3.60

Each roll is $0.60.

If you purchase 13 individual rolls, you pay

13 x 0.6 = $7.80

But if you purchase the Baker's dozen, you pay only $7.20, so you save $0.60

7.80 - 7.20 = 0.60

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
