The price of a technology stock was $9.74 yesterday. Today, the price fell to $9.67. Find the percentage decrease. Round your an

agasfer [191]

% change = (new value - old value)/(old value) * 100%
.. = (9.67 -9.74)/9.74 * 100%
.. = -0.07/9.74 * 100%
.. = -0.7%

The decrease is 0.7%.

A) x and y are two numbers taken from the list below.

Masja [62]

Answer:

a)

i) we have the equation:

3*x - 2*y

We want to find a common multiple of 3 and 2.

One can be:

3*6 = 18

2*9 = 18

And both numbers 6 and 9 are on the list, then if we take:

x = 6, y = 9

we get:

3*6 - 2*9 = 18 - 18 = 0

The solution is x = 6, y = 9.

ii) The greatest possible value of:

3*x - 2*y

Will be when x is the largest value of the list (because it is on the positive term) and y is the smallest value on the list (because it is on the negative term)

then we need to have x = 10, y = 5

The value will be:

3*10 - 2*5 = 30 - 10 = 20

iii) Now we want to have the smallest value on x, and the largest one on y, then:

x = 5, y = 10

The smallest value of the equation will be:

3*5 - 2*10 = 15 - 20 = -5

B) We want to solve:

5*(a - 4*b)

when:

a = -7

b = 1/4

This is kinda easy, we just need to replace the variables in the equation to get:

5*(a - 4*b) = 5*(-7 - 4*(1/4)) = 5*(-7 - 4/4) = 5*-8 = -40

In a game called taxation and evasion, a player rolls a pair of dice. if on any turn the sum is 7, 11, or 12, the player gets au

bezimeni [28]

The probability that she gets audited no more than 2 times is 0.896482...

As, a pair of dice are rolling here, so the number of total possible outcome = (6×6) = 36

For Sum = 7 , the favorable outcomes are: (1,6) (2,5) (3,4) (4,3) (5,2) and (6,1)

For Sum = 11 , the favorable outcomes are: (5,6) and (6,5)

For Sum = 12 , the favorable outcome is: (6,6)

Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes)÷(Number of total outcomes)

So, $P(7)= \frac{6}{36} =\frac{1}{6}$

$P(11) = \frac{2}{36} = \frac{1}{18}$

$P(12) = \frac{1}{36}$

P( 7 or 11 or 12) = $\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{18}+\frac{1}{36} = \frac{6+2+1}{36}=\frac{9}{36} = \frac{1}{4}$

Here the total number of trials = 5 and the probability of getting audited = $\frac{1}{4}$

According the binomial distribution formula:

P(X) = (ⁿCₓ )(P)ˣ (1-P)ⁿ⁻ˣ

where P(X) is the probability of x successes out of n trials

Here, n= 5 and P = 1/4 and we need to find the probability of getting audited no more than 2 times. This means she can gets audited 0, 1 or 2 times.

So,

$P(X=0)+P(X=1) +P(X=2)\\\\= [^5C^0 (\frac{1}{4})^0 (1-\frac{1}{4})^5^-^0 ]+[^5C^1 (\frac{1}{4})^1 (\frac{3}{4})^5^-^1]+[^5C^2 (\frac{1}{4})^2 (\frac{3}{4})^5^-^2]\\\\= (\frac{3}{4})^5+ (5) (\frac{1}{4}) (\frac{3}{4})^4 +(10)(\frac{1}{4})^2 (\frac{3}{4})^3\\\\=0.237304... +0.395507...+0.263671...\\\\ = 0.896482...$

So, the probability that she gets audited no more than 2 times is 0.896482...

How to find the average of speed and acceleration

Irina-Kira [14]

For acceleration use this formula: (v-u) /t
V is the final velocity
U is the intial velocity and t is time.
For speed u hav to calculate the the total distance and total time then use this formula:
Average speed=
Total distance / Total time
