The price of an item has been reduced by 85% . The original price was 20 . What is the price of the item now?

1 answer:

3 0

Original price = 20
Reduced by 85%,
So, 100-85 = 15% of 20,

$\frac{15}{100} \times 20 \\ = \frac{15}{5} \\ = 3$
Prove of item is now 3.

According to a 2018 survey by Bankrate, 20% of adults in the United States save nothing for retirement (CNBC website). Suppose t

nalin [4]

Answer:

0.5981 = 59.81% probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they save nothing for retirement, or they save something. The probability of an adult saving nothing for retirement is independent of any other adult. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

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 combinations 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.

20% of adults in the United States save nothing for retirement (CNBC website).

This means that $p = 0.2$

Suppose that sixteen adults in the United States are selected randomly.

This means that $n = 16$

What is the probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement?

This is:

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

In which

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{16,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{16} = 0.0281$

$P(X = 1) = C_{16,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{15} = 0.1126$

$P(X = 2) = C_{16,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.2111$

$P(X = 3) = C_{16,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{13} = 0.2463$

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0281 + 0.1126 + 0.2111 + 0.2463 = 0.5981$

0.5981 = 59.81% probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement

Find the solution set of this inequality|10x+20| ≤10

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

solution is

[-3,-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

$|10x+20|\leq 10$

Firstly, we will find critical values

so, let's assume it is equal

$|10x+20|= 10$

now, we can break absolute sign

For $|10x+20|= -(10x+20)$ :

$-(10x+20)= 10$

we can solve for x

$-10x-20= 10$

Add both sides by 20

$-10x-20+20= 10+20$

$-10x= 30$

Divide both sides by -10

and we get

$x=-3$

For $|10x+20|= (10x+20)$ :

$(10x+20)= 10$

we can solve for x

$10x+20= 10$

Subtract both sides by 20

$10x+20-20= 10-20$

$10x= -10$

Divide both sides by 10

and we get

$x=-1$

so, critical values are

$x=-3$

$x=-1$

now, we can draw a number line and locate these values

and then we can check inequality on each intervals

For $(-\infty,-3)$ :

We can select any random value from this interval and plug that in inequality

and we get

we can plug x=-5

$|10\times -5+20|\leq 10$

$|-50+20|\leq 10$

$30\leq 10$

so, this is FALSE

For $[-3,-1]$ :

We can select any random value from this interval and plug that in inequality

and we get

we can plug x=-2

$|10\times -2+20|\leq 10$

$|-20+20|\leq 10$

$0\leq 10$

so, this is TRUE

For $(-1,\infty)$ :

We can select any random value from this interval and plug that in inequality

and we get

we can plug x=0

$|10\times 0+20|\leq 10$

$|0+20|\leq 10$

$20\leq 10$

so, this is FALSE

so, solution is

[-3,-1]
