Answer:

$ 383 854.28  per pound  ====>   See below !!

Step-by-step explanation:

Increases 10.2 % per WEEK   (??  Per WEEK?))  

  2 years is 104 weeks    (this is going to be a HUGE number)

15.75 (1+.102)^104 =

If increase is YEARLY

15.75 ( 1 + .102)^2 = $ 19.13 per pound    <<<<after two years

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a)

- the probability she will win the dinner for two is 0.016

- the probability she will not win the dinner for two is 0.984

b)

- Lisa's expected earnings is $0.57

- Money she effectively contributed to the hiking club is $11.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

fortune cookies; $1 per cookies

club sold 743

a) Lisa bought 12 cookies. What is the probability she will win the dinner for two?

P( she will win ) = Number of cookies bought / Total number of cookies

P( she will win ) = 12 / 743

P( she will win ) = 0.01615 ≈ 0.016

Therefore,  the probability she will win the dinner for two is 0.016

P( she will not win ) = 1 - P( she will win )

P( she will not win ) = 1 - 0.016

P( she will not win ) = 0.984

Therefore,  the probability she will not win the dinner for two is 0.984

b)  Lisa's expected earnings can be found by multiplying the value of the dinner by the probability that she will win. What are Lisa's expected earnings? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)$

given that value of dinner = $35

P( she will win ) = 0.01615

so

Lisa's earning = $35 × 0.01615

Lisa's earning = $0.57

Therefore, Lisa's expected earnings is $0.57

- How much did she effectively contribute to the hiking club? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)$

Lisa's contribution = Money she paid for cookies - money from expected earnings

Lisa's contribution = ( 12 × $1 ) -  $ 0.57

Lisa's contribution = $12 -  $0.57

Lisa's contribution = $11.43

Therefore, Money she effectively contributed to the hiking club is $11.43

What is the approximate value of x in the diagram below
irga5000 [103]

We use Tan in this case:

Tan=(opposite/adjacent)

Tan(36)=23/x

x=23/Tan(36)

x=31.64 length

Hope it helps!

The numbers​ 1, 2,​ 3, 4, and 5 are written on slips of​ paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacemen
mamaluj [8]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a)

The probability is :  1/2

(b)

The probability is :  1/2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The numbers​ 1, 2,​ 3, 4, and 5 are written on slips of​ paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacement.

The total combinations that are possible are:

(1,2)   (1,3)    (1,4)    (1,5)

(2,1)   (2,3)   (2,4)   (2,5)

(3,1)   (3,2)   (3,4)   (3,5)

(4,1)   (4,2)   (4,3)   (4,5)

(5,1)   (5,2)   (5,3)   (5,4)

i.e. the total outcomes are : 20

(a)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 4.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 9.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

               P(A|B)

We know that it could be calculated by using the formula:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}

Hence, based on the data we have:

P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}

( Since, out of a total of 20 outcomes there is just one outcome which comes in A∩B and it is:  (4,5) )

and

P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 9

(4,5) and (5,4) )

Hence, we have:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}

(b)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 3.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 8.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

               P(A|B)

Hence, based on the data we have:

P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}

( since, the only outcome out of 20 outcomes is:  (3,5) )

and

P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 8

(3,5) and (5,3) )

Hence, we have:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}
