Ok
so paid 16
20% off
original-20%=16
that means the shorts were 100-20=80% of the original cost

percent means parts out of 100
80%=80/100=0.80

16=0.8 of ogirinal cost
'of' means mutpliy
16=0.8 times original
divide both sides by 0.8
16/0.8=ogirinal
20==originall

$20=original price

Item 1 A bag contains 7 blue cards, 4 green cards, 6 red cards, and 8 yellow cards. You randomly choose a card. a. How many poss

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

4 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.

Let

x------> size of the event space

y-----> size of the sample space

$P=\frac{x}{y}$

In this problem

The probability of choose a blue card is

$x=7$

$y=7+4+6+8=25$

substitute

$P=\frac{7}{25}$

The probability of choose a green card is

$x=4$

$y=7+4+6+8=25$

substitute

$P=\frac{4}{25}$

The probability of choose a red card is

$x=6$

$y=7+4+6+8=25$

substitute

$P=\frac{6}{25}$

The probability of choose a yellow card is

$x=8$

$y=7+4+6+8=25$

substitute

$P=\frac{8}{25}$

The sum of the probabilities of the 4 possible outcomes is equal to

$\frac{7}{25}+\frac{4}{25}+\frac{6}{25}+\frac{8}{25}=\frac{25}{25}$ ----> represent the 100%

Walleye is a common game fish. Adult walleye have a length with a mean of 44 cm and a standard deviation of 4 cm, and the distri

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:b. 0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lengths of adult walleye fishes are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = lengths of walleye fishes.

µ = mean length

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 44 cm

σ = 4 cm

We want to find the probability or fraction of fishes that are greater than 41 cm in length. It is expressed as

P(x > 41) = 1 - P(x ≤ 41)

For x = 41,

z = (41 - 44)/4 = - 0.75

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.22
