Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

If it was 20% off, you are paying 80% of the original price.

So .80 * Original price = $32

32/.8 = 40

Question 9 20% of a particular brand of light bulbs fail in one year. What is the probability that three bulbs out of a random c
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given scenario, the probability is as follows:

X\sim Bin (n,p)

Here

n = 8

p = 0.20 or 20%

Now this is a binomial probability distribution

P(X) = ^nC_x \times p^x \tmes (1 - p)^{n-x}\\\\P(3) = ^8C_3 \tims 0.20^3 \times (1 - 0.20)^5

= 0.15

Hence, the correct answer is 0.15

A gardener wants to create a rectangular vegetable garden in a backyard. She wants it to have a total area of 120 square feet, a
erastova [34]
Comment
This is an area problem. The key words are 120 square feet and 12 feet longer.
And of course width is a key word when you are reading this.

Formula
Area = L * W

Givens
W = W
L = W + 12

Substitute and Solve
Area = L* W
120 = W*(W + 12)
W^2 + 12W = 120 square feet
w^2 + 12w - 120 = 0

This does not factor easily. I would have thought that a graph might help but not if the dimension has to be to the nearest 1/100 of a foot. The only thing we can do is use the quadratic formula.

a = 1
b = 12
c = - 120

w = [ -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ]/(2a)
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(12^2 - 4*(1)(-120)] / 2*1
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(144 - (-480)]/2
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(624)] / 2
w = [- 12 +/- 24.979992] / 2 The minus root has no meaning whatever.
w = (12.979992) / 2
w = 6.489995 I'll round all this when I get done

L = w + 12
L = 6.489995 + 12
L = 18.489995

check
Area = L * W
Area = 6.489995*18.489995
Area = 119.999935 The difference is a rounding error

Answer
L = 18.489995 = 18.49 feet
W = 6.489995 = 6.49 feet

Note: in the check if you round first to the answer, LW = 120.0001 when you find the area for the check. Kind of strange how that nearest 1/100th makes a difference.
