8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the number of votes of the first person

winner  = x + 4000

x+ x+4000 = 6000

2x=2000

x=1000

first person = x = 1000

winner  = x+4000 = 5000

The winner got 5000 votes

In a sale, the price of a computer is reduced from $1,280 to $1,030. Find the rate of the discount and the amount of the discoun
aev [14]
Rate of discount = (old price - new price)/old price x 100 = (1280 - 1030)/1280 x 100 = 250/1280 x 100 = 19.5%

Amount of discount = old price - new price = $1,280 - $1,030 = $250

hi PLLSS HELP solve x2 – 8x = 20 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation? {–22, 14} {–14, 22} {–10,
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

{ - 2, 10 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 8x = 20

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 20 + 16, that is

(x - 4)² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 4 = ± \sqrt{36} = ± 6 ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 4 ± 6

Thus

x = 4 - 6 = - 2

x = 4 + 6 = 10

The following data summarizes results from 889 pedestrian deaths that were caused by accidents. If one of the pedestrian deaths
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

P(A or B) = 0.291 +0.159 -0.0562=0.3938

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The total probability rule is "used to find the probability of an event, A, when you don’t know enough about A’s probabilities to calculate it directly. Instead, you take a related event, B, and use that to calculate the probability for A".

Solution to the problem

The data given:

                                                             Pedestrian

                                       Intoxicated                       Not intoxicated     Total          

Intoxicated                           50                                        91                    141

Not intoxicated                    209                                     539                 748

Total                                     259                                      630                889

The rows on this case are associated to the tyep of Driver.

Let's define the following events:

A =Pedestrian was intoxicated

B= Driver was intoxicated

And we can find the probabilities for the events A and B like this with the info given:

P(A) = \frac{50+209}{889}=0.291

P(B) = \frac{50+91}{889}=0.159

We can find also the probaility that pedestrian was intoxicated AND driver was ​intoxicated, like this:

P(A and B) = \frac{50}{889}=0.0562

Because the intersection for the events A and B is 50 and the grand total is 889.

Now we can use the total rule of probability given by this:

P(A or B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A and B)

And since w ehave everything to replace we got:

P(A or B) = 0.291 +0.159 -0.0562=0.3938
