Let's call the event of the red die to show a six as event A, and the event of the green die to show a six as event B.

The theoretical probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. On both dices, we have 6 possible outcomes(the numbers from 1 to 6), with one favourable outcome(the number 6), therefore, the probabilities of those events are:

P(A)=P(B)=\frac{1}{6}

Each roll is independent from each other, then, the probability of both events happening simultaneously is given by their product:

P(A\:and\:B)=P(A)P(B)

Using the additive rule of probability, we have the following equation for our problem:

\begin{gathered} P(A\:or\:B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\:and\:B) \\ =P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B) \\ =\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{6^2} \\ =\frac{2}{6}-\frac{1}{36} \\ =\frac{12}{36}-\frac{1}{36} \\ =\frac{12-1}{36} \\ =\frac{11}{36} \end{gathered}

the probability that the red die shows a six or the green die shows a six is 11/36.

Natalie works in a department store selling clothing. She makes a guaranteed salary of $300 per week, but is paid a commission o
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Natalie basic salary is $300 per week. She is paid a commission of 30% of her total sales for the week. Therefore her total weekly salary per week is given by:

Total weekly salary = Basic salary + Commissions

If Natalie makes $225 in sales, her commission = 30% of $225 = 0.3 × $225 = $67.5

Total weekly salary = Basic salary + Commissions = $300 + $67.5

Total weekly salary = $367.5

b) If Natalie makes $x in sales, her commission = 30% of $x = 0.3 × $x = $0.3x

Total weekly salary = Basic salary + Commissions = $300 + $0.3x

Total weekly salary = $(300 + 0.3x)
