Today only, a sofa is being sold at a 32% discount. The sale price is $289.
What was the price yesterday?
Answer:
425$Step-by-step explanation:
Today only, a sofa is being sold at a 32% discount. The sale price is $289.
What was the price yesterday?
289 is 68% (100% - 32% = 68%)
289 : 68 * 100 =
425
--------------------------
check
425 - 32% = 289
the answer is good
2. Suppose that you are looking for a student at your college who lives within five miles of you. You know that 55% of the 25,000 students do live within five miles of you. You randomly contact students from the college until one says he or she lives within five miles of you.
(a) What is the probability that you need to contact four people?
(b) How many students from the college you expect to contact until you find one lives within five miles of you?
(C) What is the standard deviation of the number of students to be contacted until one says who lives within five miles of you?
(d) Suppose you randomly ask 5 students at your college, what is the probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you?
(e) Suppose you randomly ask 5 students at your college, what is the expected number of students who live within five miles of you?
Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:
a) There is a 0.0501 = 5.01% probability that you need to contact four people.
b) You expect to contact 1.82 students until you find one who lives within five miles of you.
c) The standard deviation is of 1.22 students.
d) 0.3369 = 33.69% probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you.
e) It is expected that 2.75 students live within five miles of you.
For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they live within 5 miles of you, or they do not. The probability of a student living within 5 miles of you is independent of any other student, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
The parameters are:
x is the number of successes. n is the number of trials. p is the probability of a success on a single trial.In this problem:
55% live within five miles, hence [tex]p = 0.55[/tex].Item a:
This probability is P(X = 0) when n = 3(none of the first three) multiplied by 0.55(the fourth does live within five miles), hence:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.55)^{0}.(0.45)^{3} = 0.091125[/tex]
[tex]p = 0.091125(0.55) = 0.0501[/tex]
0.0501 = 5.01% probability that you need to contact four people.
Item b:
The expected number of trials in the binomial distribution until q successes is given by:
[tex]E = \frac{q}{p}[/tex]
In this problem, [tex]p = 0.55[/tex], and 1 trial, thus [tex]q = 1[/tex], hence:
[tex]E = \frac{1}{0.55} = 1.82[/tex]
You expect to contact 1.82 students until you find one who lives within five miles of you.
Item c:
The standard deviation of the number of trials until q successes are found is given by:
[tex]S = \frac{\sqrt{q(1 - p)}}{p}[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]S = \frac{\sqrt{0.45}}{0.55} = 1.22[/tex]
The standard deviation is of 1.22 students.
Item d:
This probability is P(X = 3) when n = 5, hence:
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.55)^{3}.(0.45)^{2} = 0.3369[/tex]
0.3369 = 33.69% probability that 3 of them live within five miles of you.
Item e:
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]E(X) = 5(0.55) = 2,75[/tex]
It is expected that 2.75 students live within five miles of you.

Kenny has 8 red shirts, 12 blue shirts, and 10 white shirts in his closet. What is the probability that he would get a white shirt out of the closet?
Answer:
1/3 or 33.33 %
Step-by-step explanation:
this is because there is 30 shirts and all and 10 white. 10/30 is 1/3, or 33.33%
Answer:
likely
If there are 8 red shirts, 12 blue shirts, and 10 white shirts. The answer would be likely
At her birthday party marcies guests are 2/3 of her birthday cake and her family ate 1/4 of the cake how much cake was left after her party
Answer: 1/12 of the cake.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of 3 and 4. The easiest way to do this is to multiply the two together. 3*4 = 12.
Now, convert each fraction to be out of twelfths. Do this by setting up a proportion. 2/3 = x/12. Cross multiply and divide. 2*12 = 24. 24/3 = 8. Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12.
Do the same for 1/4. 1/4 = x/12. Cross multiply and divide. 12*1 = 12. 12/4 = 3. Therefore, 1/4 = 3/12.
Now add these two fractions by adding the numerators and keeping the denominators the same. 8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12.
Subtract this answer from 1 (12/12). 12/12 - 11/12 = 1/12
Solve for L:
P=2L+2W
Answer:
[tex]L=\frac{1}{2}P-W[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve for L.
[tex]P=2L+2W[/tex]
Step 1: Flip the equation.
[tex]2L+2W=P[/tex]
Step 2: Add [tex]-2W[/tex] to both sides.
[tex]2L+2W+-2W=P+-2W[/tex]
[tex]2L=P-2W[/tex]
Step 3: Divide both sides by [tex]2[/tex].
[tex]\frac{2L}{2}=\frac{P-2W}{2}[/tex]
[tex]L=\frac{1}{2}P-W[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]L=\frac{1}{2}P-W[/tex]
