Answer:

27.83$ I believe

Step-by-step explanation:

30.09 is the end price, so multiply that times 7.5% or 0.075 in decimal terms

You would get 2.25675 which is the amount of tax that was paid

So all you have to left is subtract 2.25675 from 30.09 to find the original price

$30.09-2.25675=27.83325$

or 27.83 rounded to the nearest hundredth

Solve the equation 4*e+2=1 (mod5)

otez555 [7]

Here's a way to do it.

Let 4e +2 = 5n +1 . . . . . . for some integer n

Then e = (5n -1)/4 = n + (n -1)/4

We want (n-1)/4 to be an integer, so let it be integer m.

... m = (n -1)/4

... 4m = n -1

... 4m +1 = n

Substituting this into our expression for e gives

... e = (5(4m+1) -1)/4 = (20m +4)/4 = 5m +1

e = 5m+1 for any integer m

According to police sources, a car with a certain protection system will be recovered 87% of the time. Find the probability that

WITCHER [35]

Answer: 0.01145

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Binomial distribution , where the probability of getting x successes in n trial is given by :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ , p = probability of getting each success in each trial.

As per given

The proportion that a car with a certain protection system will be recovered= p=0.87

n= 8

Let x be the number of cars will be recovered.

Then, the probability that 4 of 8 stolen cars will be recovered:

$P(X=4)=^8C_4(0.87)^4(1-0.87)^{8-4}$

$=\dfrac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}(0.87)^4(0.13)^4\\\\= 70(0.57289761)(0.00028561)\\\\=0.0114537700474\approx0.01145$

Hence, the required probability is 0.01145.

SOLUTION:

Step 1:

From the given question, and comparing the scores in classes A and B

Step 2:

Question one, to know the class which had the better overall result on the exam;

(I) The scores in class A ranges from 65 to 100, while that of class B ranges from 60 to 90. This explains that class A had better results.

(ii) The median of the scores in class A is 85, while the median of the scores in class B is 75, this is another piece of supporting evidence that class A had better results.

Step 3:

Question two, to know the class which had greater variability in the results;

For a better understanding of this question, I need to explain the concept of variability in statistics.

Variability in statistics refers to the difference being exhibited by data points within a data set, as related to each other or as related to the mean. This can be expressed through the range, variance or standard deviation of a data set.

Step 4:

So we need to find the range of scores in each of the two classes and then compare, the class with the greater range has the greater variability.

The Range is the difference between the lowest and highest score (H - L), where H is the highest score and L is the lowest score.

Step 5:

Applying the formula for range stated in step 4;

For Class A; H = 100 and L = 65

For Class B; H = 90 and L = 60

The range for class A; H - L = 100 - 65 = 35

The range for class B; H - L = 90 - 60 = 30

By comparing the range of class A and that of B, it is clear that Class A had a greater range (variability)

CONCLUSION:

Class A had better overall results in the exam and greater variability in the results.
