Answer:

The difference between 19 and 8 is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The difference between a number and 8 is 11

Find the number.

Solution:

Let the unknown number be $=x$

The difference between the unknown number can be written as:

$x-8$

We are given that the difference =11

So we can write the equation to find $x$ as :

$x-8=11$

Using additive property to solve for $x$

Adding 8 to both sides to isolate $x$ on one side.

$x-8+8=11+8$

∴ $x=19$

∴ The unknown number = 19

The Wilson family had 5 children. Assuming that the probability of a child being a girl is 0.5, find the probability that the Wi

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

0.813

0.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial probability.

P = nCr p^r q^(n−r)

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1−p).

In this problem, n = 5, p = 0.5, and q = 0.5.

"At least 2 girls" means r = 2, 3, 4, or 5.

Or, we can use the complement.

P(at least 2 girls) = 1 − P(at most 1 girl)

P(at least 2 girls) = 1 − P(r=0 or r=1)

P(at least 2 girls) = 1 − ₅C₁ (0.5)¹ (0.5)⁵⁻¹ − ₅C₀ (0.5)⁰ (0.5)⁵⁻⁰

P(at least 2 girls) = 1 − 5 (0.5) (0.5)⁴ − 1 (1) (0.5)⁵

P(at least 2 girls) = 1 − 6 (0.5)⁵

P(at least 2 girls) ≈ 0.813

"At most 2 girls" means r = 0, 1, or 2.

P(at most 2 girls) = P(r=0, r=1, or r=2)

P(at most 2 girls) = ₅C₀ (0.5)⁰ (0.5)⁵⁻⁰ + ₅C₁ (0.5)¹ (0.5)⁵⁻¹ + ₅C₂ (0.5)² (0.5)⁵⁻²

P(at most 2 girls) = 1 (1) (0.5)⁵ + 5 (0.5) (0.5)⁴ + 10 (0.5)² (0.5)³

P(at most 2 girls) = 16 (0.5)⁵

P(at most 2 girls) = 0.500

A $32 item is marked as 20% off. What is the sale price?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

$25.60

20%=.2
since it's 20% OFF, you want to get rid of .2 of the 32.
so 1-.2=.8
and .8 x 32 = 25.60

Answer:

2.72 x 10^4

Step-by-step explanation:

2.4 x 10^4

= 24000

3.2 x 10^3

= 3200

Therefore,

(2.4 x 10^4) + (3.2 x 10^3)

= 24000 + 3200

= 27200

= 2.72 x 10^4
