Answer:

0.073

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Probability of ethnic minorities (P) = 0.33

Number of Trials (n) = 10

Required successes (x) = 6 or more

To find the answer for this problem we will employ the Binomial Probability equation

b(x; n, P) = nCx * P^x * (1-P)^n^-^x

To find the answer for 6 or more success we first calculate the following values

1) 6 success

2) 7 success

3) 8 success

4) 9 success

5) 10 success

so

b6 = 10C6 * (0.33)^6 * (1-0.33)^1^0^-^6 = 0.0547

b7 = 10C7 * (0.33)^7 * (1-0.33)^1^0^-^7 = 0.0154

b8 = 10C8 * (0.33)^8 * (1-0.33)^1^0^-^8 = 2.841 * 10^-^3

b9 = 10C9 * (0.33)^9 * (1-0.33)^1^0^-^9 = 3.110 * 10^-^4

b10 = 10C10 * (0.33)^10 * (1-0.33)^1^0^-^10 = 1.532 * 10^-^5

Adding all these values we get the probabilities we get 0.0732

Sale Price: On opening day, a new music store offers a 16% discount on all electric guitars. If the regular price on a guitar is
svetoff [14.1K]
This can be done easily in a few ways. One, you could do equivelent fractions as this. 16 percent is the same as 16 over 100, or, 16/100, 100 being the total with an = sign with X over 550, or, X/550. you can multiply 16 by 500 and divide by 100 to get $88. Or you could do it my way, (prefered way). take the $550, divide it by 100, then multiply by 16 and get $88. either way you do this, you take away the $88 from $550 and get the sale price of [Drumroll please...]

The price of gasoline at a service station increased from $1.65 per gallon last week to $1.82 per gallon this week. Sally paid $
Mila [183]

Answer:

  $2.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The increase from last week is the fraction ...

  (new price)/(old price) -1 = (1.82/1.65) -1 = 17/165

so the amount of increase Sally will pay this week is ...

  17/165×$26.40 = $2.72

_____

<em>Comment on the working</em>

We could work this several ways. Perhaps most straightforward would be to determine how many gallons Sally bought last week, and multiply that by the change in price. Or, the number of gallons could be multiplied by the new price per gallon and the difference from the old purchase amount found.

If you look at the numbers, you see that we have effectively done it the first way. The change in price is $0.17 per gallon, and the number of gallons Sally bought is $26.40/$1.65.
