A contractor purchases 4 dozen pairs of padded work gloves for $57.12. She incorrectly calculates the unit price as $14.28 per p

air for the expense report. What is the correct unit price? What is the error?

Answer:

The unit price is $1.19. Her error was that instead of dividing by 4 dozen (48) she just divided by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

First to calculate the unit price you must divide the total price (57.12) by the amount of pairs they received (4*12= 48).  4 dozen is 48 since there is 12 in a dozen.

57.12/48= 1.19

Thus 1.19 is the unit price.

A new security system needs to be evaluated in the airport. The probability of a person being a security hazard is 4%. At the ch
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

(a) 0.9412

(b) 0.9996 ≈ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events a follows:

P = a person passes the security system

H = a person is a security hazard

Given:

P (H) = 0.04,\ P(P^{c}|H^{c})=0.02\ and\ P(P|H)=0.01

Then,

P(H^{c})=1-P(H)=1-0.04=0.96\\P(P|H^{c})=1-P(P|H)=1-0.02=0.98\\

(a)

Compute the probability that a person passes the security system using the total probability rule as follows:

The total probability rule states that: P(A)=P(A|B)P(B)+P(A|B^{c})P(B^{c})

The value of P (P) is:

P(P)=P(P|H)P(H)+P(P|H^{c})P(H^{c})\\=(0.01\times0.04)+(0.98\times0.96)\\=0.9412

Thus, the probability that a person passes the security system is 0.9412.

(b)

Compute the probability that a person who passes through the system is without any security problems as follows:

P(H^{c}|P)=\frac{P(P|H^{c})P(H^{c})}{P(P)} \\=\frac{0.98\times0.96}{0.9412} \\=0.9996\\\approx1

Thus, the probability that a person who passes through the system is without any security problems is approximately 1.

The points (6, -3) and (7, -10) fall on a particular line. What is its equation in point-slope form? Use one of the specified po
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinate points (6, -3) and (7, -10), we are to find the equation of a line passing through this two points;

The standard equation of a line is y = mx+c

m is the slope

c is the intercept

Get the slope;

m = Δy/Δx = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = -10-(-3)/7-6

m = -10+3/1

m = -7

Get the intercept;

Substitute the point (6, -3) and m = -7 into the expression y = mx+c

-3 = -7(6)+c

-3 = -42 + c

c = -3 + 42

c = 39

Get the required equation by substituting m = -7 and c= 39 into the equation y = mx+c

y = -7x + 39

Hence the required equation is y = -7x + 39

Charisse collects antique salt and pepper shakers. The value of her cactus salt and pepper shakers is shown (56.28$). The value
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

  $53.61

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like the rate of change is supposed to be -2 2/5% = -2.4% per year. That means the "growth factor" is ...

  growth factor = 1 + growth rate

  growth factor = 1 -2.4% = 1 -0.024 = 0.976

Each year, Charisse's cactus salt and pepper shakers will have their value multiplied by this factor. After 2 years, their value will be ...

  ($56.28)(0.976)(0.976) = $56.28×0.976^2 ≈ $53.61

The value is projected to be $53.61 in 2 years.

When factored, the trinomials x2 + 4x − 21 and x2 + 11x + 28 have one binomial factor in common. What is this factor?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 + 4x − 21

set equal to 0

x2 + 4x − 21 = 0

factor

(x - 3) (x + 7)

x2 + 11x + 28

set equal to 0

x2 + 11x + 28 = 0

factor

(x + 4) (x + 7)
