Answer:

(a) 7.69%

(b) 25%

(c) 2.78%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

In a deck of 52 cards there are 4 aces.

The odds in favor or the probability of selecting an ace is:

P(Ace) = \frac{Number\ of\ aces}{Number\ of\ cards\ in\ total}\\ =\frac{4}{52}\\ =0.076923\\\approx7.69\%

Thus, the probability of selecting an ace from a random deck of 562 cards is 7.69%.

(b)

The outcomes of each toss of a coin is independent of the other, since the result of the previous toss does not affect the result of the current toss.

The probability that both the tosses will end up in heads is:

P(2\ Heads)=P(1^{st}\ Head)\times P(2^{nd}\ Head)\\=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\\ =\frac{1}{4}\\ =0.25\ or\ 25\%\\

Thus, the probability that both the tosses will end up in heads is 25%.

(c)

The sample space of two dice consists of 36 outcomes in total.

Out of these 36 outcomes there is only 1 Boxcar, i.e. two sixes.

The probability of a boxcar when two dice are rolled is:

P(Boxcar)=\frac{Favorable\ outcomes}{Total\ no.\ of\ outcomes}\\= \frac{1}{36}\\ =0.027777\\\approx2.78\%

Thus, the probability of a boxcar when two dice are rolled is 2.78%.

Company A charges $107 and allows unlimited mileage.
skad [1K]

Answer:

At mile 3 company A will start charging less.

Step-by-step explanation:

I came to this conclusion by realizing that no matter what company A will always charge $107 so, in theory all we needed to do was get company eight to $108. So having this mind set I created the equation, 65 + .70x  . I continuously kept on changing what was in x until the price was just above Company A's. And the number that got me there was 3.

Pls help give u brainlist

Answer:

The rate of change is \frac{7}{4} or 1.75. That shows that the cost per video game is $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The change in y over change of x or slope can be calculated using the equation:

m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}  } so take the last two points: (10, 25) and (15, 33.75).

33.75-25=8.75

15-10=5

8.75/5=<u>1.75</u><u> </u><u>(7/4)</u>

x=video games

y=total cost

Since slope is change in y (cost) per change of x (video games), the answer is:

1.75 cost per video game
