Given the percentage taken off and the reduced price, the original price of the item is $142.

<h3>What was the original price of the item?</h3>

Given the data in the question;

Percentage off the item = 20%
Reduced price of the item = $113.60
Original price of the item = ?

The original price of the item is at 100%, if the 20% is taken off. The price is now at 80%.

Hence 80% of the original price will give the reduced price.

Let the original price be represented by x

80% × x = $113.60

We solve for x

80/100 × x = $113.60

80x/100 = $113.60

Cross multiply

80x = $11360

x = $11360/80

x = $142

Given the percentage taken off and the reduced price, the original price of the item is $142.

Find the slope of the line

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Undefined or No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Because this line is a straight, vertical line, it means that the slope is undefined, or no solution. Any time you see a straight line going up and down, this will be true. However, if you see a horizonal line, this will not be true.

A recipe requires 5 kg of cleaned, peeled, and diced cucumbers. What is the minimum amount of cucumbers to purchase if the yield

ira [324]

Answer:

4.1kg

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe requires 5 kg of cleaned, peeled, and diced cucumbers. What is the minimum amount of cucumbers to purchase if the yield percent is 82?

The formula to solve the above question is given as:

Edible portion = Amount purchased/Yield percent

Amount purchased = Edible portion × Yield percent

Amount purchased = 5 kg × 82%

Amount purchased = 4.1kg

Market-share-analysis company Net Applications monitors and reports on Internet browser usage. According to Net Applications, in

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a) 2.43% probability that exactly 8 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

b) 80.5% probability that at least 3 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

c) 4.074

d) Variance 3.24, standard deviation 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

For each internet browser user, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they use chrome, or they do not. They are chosen at random, which means that the probability of an user using chrome is independent from other users. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The variance of the binomial distribution is:

$V(X) = np(1-p)$

20.37% share of the browser market

This means that $p = 0.2037$

Group of 20 Internet browser users

This means that $n = 20$

(a) Compute the probability that exactly 8 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

This is $P(X = 8)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 8) = C_{20,8}.(0.2037)^{8}.(0.7963)^{12} = 0.0243$

2.43% probability that exactly 8 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

(b) Compute the probability that at least 3 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

Either less than 3 users use Chrome, or at least 3 do. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X < 3) + P(X \geq 3) = 1$

$P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)$

In which

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.2037)^{0}.(0.7963)^{20} = 0.0105$

$P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.2037)^{1}.(0.7963)^{19} = 0.0538$

$P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.2037)^{2}.(0.7963)^{18} = 0.1307$

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0105 + 0.0538 + 0.1307 = 0.195$

Finally

$P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.195 = 0.805$

80.5% probability that at least 3 of the 20 Internet browser users use Chrome as their Internet browser.

(c) For the sample of 20 Internet browser users, compute the expected number of Chrome users.

$E(X) = np = 20*0.2037 = 4.074$

(d) For the sample of 20 Internet browser users, compute the variance and standard deviation for the number of Chrome users.

$V(X) = np(1-p)$

$V(X) = 20*0.2037*0.7963 = 3.24$

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. SO

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{3.24} = 1.8$
