Of the last 100 customers entering a computer shop, 25 have purchased a computer. If the classical method for computing probabil

ity is used, the probability that the next customer will purchase a computer is .75 1.00 .25 .50 ___ The answer is apparently .50 but i am not understanding why that is so, wouldn't it be .25? Or is it that there is a option for the customer to buy or not buy so it makes it 50% so 50/100? I'm not sure...

Answer:

0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks you to apply the classical method of computing probability. In this method, prior events do not interfere in the likelihood of an event happening in the future, instead it states that every possible outcome is equally likely to happen.

In this case there are only two possible outcomes: purchase or not purchase a computer. Therefore, the likelihood that the next customer will purchase a computer is 50% or 0.50.

Please help me asap!! Which of these lines, if any, are parallel or perpendicular?
Over [174]
Lines A and B are parallel. Lines A and B apre perpendicular to Line C.

Change all of the lines from standard form to slope-intercept.

Line A: y = 4/3x + 2/3
Line B: y = 4/3x + 2
Line C: y = -3/4x + 1

Since A and B have the same slope they are parallel. C has a negative reciprocal so it's perpendicular.

If sales tax is 7.75%, what is the total cost of an 11$ purchase including tax?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

$11.8525

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total price of purchase including sales tax, we need to add sales tax to our total. This can be done as follows: Purchase price + percentage of purchase price as according to sales tax. In the case of your problem, this takes the form of $11 + 0.0775(11). This expression is equivalent to 11.8525.

Which explanation correctly tells whether these ratios are equivalent and why?
Reptile [31]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

<u>Option A (Yes because 3 x 2 = 6 and 14 x 2 = 28.) is correct.</u>

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

<u>This is because if we simplify 3/6 and 14/28, both of them will get 1/2. This means that only A and C are possible.</u>

  • => Option A is correct because 3 x 2 does equal 6 and 14 x 2 does equal 28.
  • => Option C is incorrect because 3 x 5 does not equal 14 and 6 x 5 does not equal 28.

Hoped this helped.

Medicare would like to test the hypothesis that the average monthly rate for one-bedroom assisted-living facility is equal to $3
aliina [53]

Answer:

C) more than the absolute value of the critical value, we can conclude that the average monthly rate for an assisted-living facility is not equal to $3,300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Interest hypothesizes is " the average monthly rate for one-bedroom assisted-living facility is equal to $3300" symbolically: μ = 3300

The study variable is:

X: Monthly rate for a one-bedroom assisted-living facility.

Since there is no information about the distribution of the variable, to be able to study the population mean, I'll assume that the variable has a normal distribution.

The hypothesis is:

H₀: μ = 3300

H₁: μ ≠ 3300

α: 0.05

The statistic to use, considering that there is no known population information and the sample size, is a Student t:

t= <u> X[bar] - μ </u> ~t_{n-1}

       S/√n

n= 12

X[bar]= $3690

S= $530

Using the sample data, calculate the statistic value:

t= <u> 3690 - 3300 </u> = 2.549

       530/√12

The rejection region for this test is two-tailed, with critical values:

t_{n-1; \alpha /2} = t_{11; 0.025} = -2.201

t_{n-1;1-\alpha /2} = t_{11; 0.975} = 2.201

The decision rule is:

Reject the null hypothesis if t ≤ -2.201 or if t ≥ 2.201

Not reject the null hypothesis if -2.201 < t < 2.201

Since the calculated value (2.549) is greater than the right critical value (2.201) the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

With a signification level of 5%, there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. This means that the population mean of the monthly rate for a one-bedroom assisted living facility is different from $3300.

I hope it helps!
