<span>Gratuity of $180 I would multiply the actual repair cost without including tax to determine the gratuity. So just multiply $1200 by 0.15 getting $180. As an suggestion, calculating 15% in your head is actually quite simple. What you do is calculate 10%, divide that in half, then add together. So for the $1200 example, you have 1200/10 = 120 half of 120 is 60 120 + 60 = 180 So you have a top of $180.</span>

Add the repair cost and tax to get the total amount. Then multiply the total amount by 0.15 to find the gratuity. This I know is correct because it has been tested.

Consider the following binomial experiment. The probability that a green jelly bean is chosen at random from a large package of
Flura [38]

Answer:

There is a 5.79% probability that at most 2 jelly beans are chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each jelly bean chosen, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is green, or it is not. This is why we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

There are 13 jelly beans, so n = 13.

The probability that a green jelly bean is chosen at random from a large package of jelly beans is 2/5. This means that p = 0.4.

If Sally chooses 13 jelly beans, what is the probability that at most two will be green jelly beans?

This is

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2).

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{13,0}.(0.4)^{0}.(0.6)^{13} = 0.0013

P(X = 1) = C_{13,1}.(0.4)^{1}.(0.6)^{12} = 0.0113

P(X = 1) = C_{13,2}.(0.4)^{2}.(0.6)^{111} = 0.0453

So

P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0013 + 0.0113 + 0.0453 = 0.0579.

There is a 5.79% probability that at most 2 jelly beans are chosen.

what is the probability of randomly selecting a score between 1 and 2 standard deviations below the mean?
velikii [3]

Answer:

0.13591.

Step-by-step explanation:

We re asked to find the probability of randomly selecting a score between 1 and 2 standard deviations below the mean.

We know that z-score tells us that a data point is how many standard deviation above or below mean.

To solve our given problem, we need to find area between z-score of -2 and -1 that is P(-2.

We will use formula P(a to solve our given problem.

P(-2

Using normal distribution table, we will get:

P(-2

P(-2

Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a score between 1 and 2 standard deviations below the mean would be 0.13591.

Can u help asap plzz
avanturin [10]

Answer:

(9, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the system of equations given:

x + 2y = 9

x + 7y = 9

Firstly, lets solve for x in the 1st equation:

x = 9 - 2y

Now substitute this into 2nd equation to solve for y:

x + 7y = 9

(9 - 2y) + 7y = 9

9 -2y + 7y = 9

5y = 0

y = 0

Now replacing y = 0 into first equation, we can solve for x:

x + 2y = 9

x + 2(0) = 9

x + 0 = 9

x = 9

So, the solution is x = 9, y = 0

or

<u>(9, 0)</u>
