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.

Answer:

B.    l = (S - πr^2) / πr

Step-by-step explanation:

S = πrl + πr^2 solve for l

πrl = S - πr^2

  l = (S - πr^2) / πr

Answer is B.    l = (S - πr^2) / πr

Write an equation of a line passing through the point (4,-9) and parallel to the line 3x-6y=30
sesenic [268]

The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

The equation of the given line is expressed as

3x - 6y = 30

Rearranging it so that it will look like the slope intercept form, it becomes

6y = 3x - 30

Dividing both sides by 6, it becomes

6y/6 = 3x/6 - 30/6

y = x/2 - 5

Looking at the equation, slope, m = 1/2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line parallel to the given line is 1/2

To determine the y intercept, c of the line passing through the point (4, - 9), we would substitute

x = 4, y = - 9 and m = 1/2 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes

- 9 = 1/2 * 4 + c

- 9 = 2 + c

c = - 9 - 2

c = - 11

By substtuting m = 1/2 and c = - 11 into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line would be

y = x/2 - 11

A toy chest in the shape of a rectangular prism has a volume of 8,640 cubic inches.  The base area of the toy chest is 720 squar
schepotkina [342]
(Volume)= (Base Area) * (Height)
8,640= 720h

h= \frac{8650}{720}
