The collected tax on purchase of $76.00 is $5.32

Further explanation:

The sales tax is calculated on the total sales by the formula

$Tax = total * \frac{7}{100}$

Given

Total purchase = $76.00

Percentage of tax = 7%

So,

Putting the values in the formula

$Tax\ amount = 76.00 * \frac{7}{100}\\= 5.32$

So, the collected tax on purchase of $76.00 is $5.32

Mrac [35]

The data collected from the actual game experiment is:

Win: 8 times
Lose: 40 times
Total trials: 48 times

Therefore, the probability that you will win when you play this game is:

WIN = 8/48
= 1/6 or 0.1667 = 16.67% chance of winning

LOSE = 40/48
= 5/6 or 0.8333 = 83.33% chance of losing.

There are 4 quarters, 5 nickels and 3 dimes in a jar. One coin is randomly drawn,

Answer:

$\displaystyle\frac{5}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is used to find how likely an outcome is to happen. Probability can be expressed as a fraction with the total outcomes as the denominator and the number of successful outcomes (what you want to happen) as the numerator.

Sample Size

The sample size is the number of possible outcomes. In this case, the sample size will be the total number of coins. To find the sample size we need to add together all of the coins.

4 + 5 + 3 = 12

This means that the sample size is 12. For this type of probability, the sample size will serve as the denominator for each probability.

Replacement

In the question, it is stated that coins are replaced. This means that the sample size will not change at any point. So, the denominator will be the same for every probability.

Creating Probability Fractions

We are looking for the probability of getting a quarter and nickel, so we need to find the fractions that represent both situations.

First, let's find the quarter. As stated in the first paragraph, the number of successful outcomes is the numerator. There are 4 quarters, so 4 is the number of successful outcomes. Therefore, 4 will be the numerator. Then, 12 will be the denominator because 12 is the sample size.

$\displaystyle\frac{4}{12}$

Next, we need to find the probability of a nickel. Since there are 5 nickels, there are 5 successful outcomes. Then, the sample size is still 12 because there is replacement.

$\displaystyle\frac{5}{12}$

Complex Probability

Now we have the probability of both a quarter and nickel alone. However, this question asks about the probability of both, so this is an example of complex probability. To find complex probability, you have to multiply each probability together.
