$270 equals 135% of the original price

270/x=135/100

135*2=270
100*2=200

Final answer: $200

Answer : The original price of dress was, $200.00

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the original price be, 'x'

So, the selling price will be = $x+35\% \times x$

The selling price of dress = $270.00

Now we have to calculate the original price of the dress.

$x+35\% \times x=270.00$

$x+\frac{35}{100} \times x=270.00$

$\frac{135x}{100}=270.00$

$x=\frac{100}{135}\times 270.00$

$x=200.00$

Thus, the original price of dress was, $200.00

Answer:

D. 18.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given we would set up the ratio

$\frac{27.5}{25} = \frac{20}{x}$ We then cross multiply to get 20x25=27.5x

multiply

500=27.5x

divide to solve for x

x=18.18

width = 18.18

If Karri takes a 7 question true false test and guess on every question, what is the

dusya [7]

Answer:

The probability that she gets all 7 questions correct is 0.0078.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Karri takes a 7 question true-false test and guess on every question.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

$P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,........$

where, n = number of samples (trials) taken = 7 question

r = number of success = all 7 questions correct

p = probability of success which in our question is probability that

question is correct, i.e. p = 50%

Let X = Number of question that are correct

So, X ~ Binom(n = 7, p = 0.50)

Now, the probability that she gets all 7 questions correct is given by = P(X = 7)

P(X = 7) = $\binom{7}{7} \times 0.50^{7} \times (1-0.50)^{7-7}$

= $1 \times 0.50^{7} \times 0.50^{0}$

= 0.0078

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The probability of of a randomly chosen student being exactly 21 years old.

= 1.293

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given Population size n = 500

Mean of the Population = 20 years and 6 months

= $20 + \frac{6}{12} = 20 +0.5 = 20.5 years$

Standard deviation of the Population = 2 years

Let 'X' be the range of ages of the students on campus follows a normal distribution

Let x =21

$Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D}$

$Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D} = \frac{21-20.6}{2} =0.2$

The probability of a randomly chosen student being exactly 21 years old.

P( Z≤21) = 0.5 + A( 0.2)

= 0.5 +0.793

= 1.293

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

0.0025551

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (m) = 40000

Standard deviation (s) = 2500

P(x < 33,000) :

USing the relation to obtain the standardized score (Z) :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (33000 - 40000) / 2500 = - 2.8

p(Z < -2.8) = 0.0025551 ( Z probability calculator)

Probability of Tyre wagering out before mileage limit is reached = 0.0025551
