Answer:

a) There is a 55% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

b) There is a 38% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

c) There is a 21% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

d) There is a 62% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Step-by-step explanation:

This a probability problem.

The probability formula is given by:

P = \frac{D}{T}

In which P is the probability, D is the number of desired outcomes and T is the number of total outcomes.

The problem states that:

121 people walked by the store.

66 people came into the store.

25 bought something in the store.

(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

121 people walked by the store, 66 of whom entered the store. So:

D = 66, T = 121

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{66}{121} = 0.55

There is a 55% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

66 people walked into the store, 25 of whom bought something. So:

D = 25, T = 66

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{25}{66} = 0.38

There is a 38% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

121 people walked by the store, 25 of whom entered the store. So:

D = 25, T = 121

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{25}{121} = 0.21

There is a 21% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Of the 66 people whom came into the store, 25 bought something. This means that 66-25 = 41 of them did not buy anything. So:

D = 41, T = 66

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{41}{66} = 0.62

There is a 62% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Two movie tickets and 3 snacks are $24.two movie tickets and 5 snacks are $28.how much is a movie ticket and how much is a snack
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

S: $0.18

T: $11.73

Step-by-step explanation:

T=tickets

S=snacks

2t+3s=24

5s=28

Divide 5 with 28.

Roughly $0.18

s=0.18.

2t+3(0.18)=24

2t+0.54=24

Subtract 0.54:

2t+0.54-0.54=24-0.54

2t=23.46

Divide 2:

t=11.73

So A snack is $0.18, and a ticket is $11.73

Hope this helped!

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

r=7

Step-by-step explanation:

74000=28000(1+r/12)^12(14)

divide 74000 by 28000, and cancel out 28000.

1.00580=1+r/12

(100) .06962=r

r = 6.96198

the 6 after the 9 rounds 9 to 0, which rounds the 6 to 7

r=7
