(Essay Question 7 Points)

Mathematics

Well I don't know.
Let's think about it:

-- There are 6 possibilities for each role.
    So 36 possibilities for 2 rolls.
    Doesn't take us anywhere.

New direction:
-- If the first roll is odd, then you need another odd on the second one.
-- If the first roll is even, then you need another even on the second one.
This may be the key, right here !

-- The die has 3 odds and 3 evens.

-- Probability of an odd followed by another odd = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4
-- Probability of an even followed by another even = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4

I'm sure this is it.  I'm a little shaky on how to combine those 2 probs.

Ah hah ! 
Try this:

Probability of either 1 sequence or the other one is (1/4) + (1/4) = 1/2 .

That means ... Regardless of what the first roll is, the probability of
the second roll matching it in oddness or evenness is 1/2 .

So the probability of 2 rolls that sum to an even number is 1/2 = 50% .

Is this reasonable, or sleazy ?

Mindy, a local artist, sells a piece of art at the pizza shop for $15, and the shop takes 15 percent commission. Instead of rece
Yuliya22 [10]
In this question the first thing that needs to be determined is the commission taken by the pizza shop and the amount of money that falls in the part of Mindy.
We already know that Mindy sells the piece of art for $15 and the pizza shop takes 15% commission on it.
Then
Commission taken by the pizza shop = (15/100) * 15
                                                             = 225/100
                                                             = 2.25 dollars
So the pizza shop takes a commission of $2.25 from the sales of each art piece from Mindy.
Then amount that falls in Mindy's part = (15 - 2.25) dollars
                                                             = 12.75 dollars
Now Mindy is not taking the money but taking a pizza worth rupees $12 including 5% sales tax.
Initially it looks like Mindy is making a profit of $0.75 plus the pizza worth $12. So it is a fair deal for Mindy. Now coming to the part of the pizza shop owner, we find that he also gains extra $2.25 from this deal. So it is a fair deal for both the shop keeper and Mindy.

An investor invests $2,500 into a mutual fund and earns 5.75% on the principle for each of three years. How much interest has ac
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Interest in 3 years = $456.52

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the the formula of compound interest

Total amount =  A(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Here n = number of times amount is compounded

r = rate of interest

t = period

Here A = $2500

r = 0.0575

n = 1 (compounded annually)

t = 3 years

Therefore amount after 3 years

P=2500(1+\frac{.0575}{1})^{3}

P =2500(1.0575)³

  = 2500×1.18

  = $2956.52

We have to calculate the interest then

Interest = $2956.52-$2500 = $456.52

So after 3 years interest gained = $456.52

zhenek [66]

Answer:

  R(x) = -0.05x^2 +80x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two points (x, p), the equation for the price associated with a given demand quantity can be written using the 2-point form:

  p = (p2 -p1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +p1

  p = (40 -50)/(800 -600)(x -600) +50

  p = -0.05x +80 . . . . simplify

Then the revenue equation is ...

  R(x) = xp

  R(x) = -0.05x^2 +80x
