What is the total cost if the shirt cost $40 and 20% off

You'd simply have to find 20% of $40. To find the percent of a number, you would change the percent into an actual decimal/number, and then multiply them both. So the percent would become 0.20.

40 × 0.20 = 8

So now you would subtract 8 from the cost of 40.

40 - 8 = 32.

The shirt costs $32.

Anita can clean a typical pool in 8 hours. Chao can clean a typical pool in 6 hours. How long should it take Anita and Chao work

Snezhnost [94]

This kind of problems requires to add the working velocities. The total velocity is the sum of the individual velocities.

Anita's velocity = 1 pool/8 hours
Chao's velocity = 1 pool/6 hours

Combined velocity 1/8 + 1/6 = (3 + 4)/24 = 7/24 pool/hour

Time = 1 pool / (7/24) pool/hour = 24/7 hour =3.43 hours

A new security system needs to be evaluated in the airport. The probability of a person being a security hazard is 4%. At the ch

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

(a) 0.9412

(b) 0.9996 ≈ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events a follows:

$P$ = a person passes the security system

$H$ = a person is a security hazard

Given:

$P (H) = 0.04,\ P(P^{c}|H^{c})=0.02\ and\ P(P|H)=0.01$

Then,

$P(H^{c})=1-P(H)=1-0.04=0.96\\P(P|H^{c})=1-P(P|H)=1-0.02=0.98\\$

(a)

Compute the probability that a person passes the security system using the total probability rule as follows:

The total probability rule states that: $P(A)=P(A|B)P(B)+P(A|B^{c})P(B^{c})$

The value of P (P) is:

$P(P)=P(P|H)P(H)+P(P|H^{c})P(H^{c})\\=(0.01\times0.04)+(0.98\times0.96)\\=0.9412$

Thus, the probability that a person passes the security system is 0.9412.

(b)

Compute the probability that a person who passes through the system is without any security problems as follows:

$P(H^{c}|P)=\frac{P(P|H^{c})P(H^{c})}{P(P)} \\=\frac{0.98\times0.96}{0.9412} \\=0.9996\\\approx1$

Thus, the probability that a person who passes through the system is without any security problems is approximately 1.

Rewrite the expression 10 to the -3 power

liberstina [14]

Answer: 0.001 or 1/1000

Since it is a negative exponent and -3 so it is in the thousandths, so 1/1000 or 0.001.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

He volunteered 10 hrs 15 min on average.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first week: 8 hrs

The second week: 12 hrs

The third week: 12 hrs

The fourth week: 9 hrs

8 + 12 + 12 + 9 = 41 hrs total

41 hours/4 weeks = 10.25 hrs (10 hrs 15 min)
