Remember that, for independent events, the probability that both occurr is the product of the individual probabilities.

a) Probability of being contacted: 78% = 0.78

Probaility of refusing: 1 - 22% = 1 -0.22 = 0.78

Combined probability: 0.78*0.78 = 0.6084

b) The probability of failing to contact or making contact and not geeting them to agree 1 - the probability of contacting and getting them to agree.

The probabilityof contacting and getting them to agree is 0.78*0.22 = 0.1716

The the answer to this question is 1 - 0.1716 = 0.8284

A woman making $3000 per month has her salary reduced by 20% because of sluggish sales. One year later, after a dramatic improve
vichka [17]

Answer:

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she first goes down 20% you would do 3000 times 20 which is 60000 and divided by 100 which is 600 and you would subtract 600 from 3000 which is 2400 and then you would multiply that by 30 which is 72000 and then you would divide by 100 which is 720 and add that to 2400 which is 3120 and to find the percent change from 3000 to 3120 you would subtract 3120 by 3000 which is 120 and you would divide that by 3000 which is 0.04 and multiply that by 100 which is 4 so the percent change would be 4%

r. Yi buys vegetables at a market. He purchases 6 pounds of potatoes, p, and 3 pounds of onions, n, for $18. Onions cost twice a
ad-work [718]

Answer:

  • The equation 2n = p should be 2p = n.
  • The actual cost of the onions is $3.00 per pound.
  • Potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording "onions cost twice as much as potatoes" is understood to mean the cost per pound of onions (n) is equal to two times the cost per pound of potatoes (2p). Then the appropriate equation would be ...

  2p = n

Then the solution is ...

  6p +3(2p) = 18

  12p = 18

  p = 18/12 = 1.50

  n = 2p = 2(1.50) = 3.00

__

The equation should be 2p = n; onions cost $3.00 per pound; potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.
