198 cents. Let current price of bread be x cents. 9(x-44) = 7x, 9x - 396= 7x, 2x=396, or x = 198.

Answer:

198 cents or 1.98 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the current price of the bread in cents,

So, the price of 7 bread = 7x cents,

If the current price of bread dropped by 44 cents,

New price of each bread = x - 44

So, the price of 9 bread = 9(x - 44)

According to the question,

7x = 9(x - 44)

7x = 9x - 396

7x - 9x = -396

-2x = -396

⇒ x = 198

Hence, the current cost of bread is 198 cents or 1.98 dollars.

A softball pitcher has a 0.507 probability of throwing a strike for each pitch. If the softball pitcher throws 15 pitches, what
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The probability that the pitcher throws exactly 8 strikes out of 15 pitches is approximately 0.199

Step-by-step explanation:

The given probability that the pitcher throws a strike, p = 0.507

The number of pitches thrown by the pitcher = 15 pitches

The probability that the pitcher does not throw a strike, q = 1 - P

∴  q = 1 - 0.507 = 0.493

By binomial theorem, we have;

P(X = r) = \dbinom{n}{r}p^{r} \cdot q^{n-r}=  \dbinom{n}{r}p^{r} \cdot \left (1-p  \right )^{n-r}

When X = r =  8, and n = 15, we get;

The probability that the pitcher throws exactly 8 strikes out of 15 pitches, P(8), is given as follows

P(8) = ₁₅C₈ × 0.507⁸ × (1 - 0.507)⁽¹⁵ ⁻ ⁸⁾ = 6,435 × 0.507⁸ × 0.493⁷ ≈ 0.199

Find the coordinates of the midpoint M of the segment with the given endpoints. Then find the distance between the two points. R
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Midpoint (-2,4)

distance nearest tenth = 8.9

The approximate distance = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulas

PQ midpoint = (x2 + x1)/2, (y2 + y1)/2

distance d = sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )

Givens

x2 = -4

x1 = 0

y2 = 1

y1 = 7

Solution

M(PQ) = (-4+0)/2, (1 + 7)/2

M(PQ) = -2, 4

The midpoint is -2,4

The distance = sqrt( (4 - 0)^2 + (1 + 7)^2 )

The distance = sqrt(16 + 64)

The distance = sqrt(80)

The distance = 4√5           exactly

The distance = 8.94    

The distance = 8.9            To the nearest tenth

Question 2

The distance is rounded to the nearest whole number which is 9.
