Answer:

<u>US$ 1,084.80 were raised from the raffle tickets and US$ 1,035 are the profits after paying the prizes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Number of raffle tickets sold = 1,356

Cost of each raffle ticket = US$ 4/5

Number of prizes = 6

Cost of each prize = US$ 8 3/10

2. How much money was raised from the raffle tickets?

For easier calculation, let's convert the fraction numbers to decimal numbers:

Cost of each raffle ticket = US$ 4/5 = US$ 0.80

Cost of each prize = US$ 8 3/10 = US$ 8 + 0.30 = US$ 8.30

Now, we use this formula to calculate how much money was raised and the profits:

Profits = (Number of tickets sold * Cost of each ticket) - (Number of prizes * Cost of each prize)

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Profits = 1,356 * 0.80 - 6 * 8.30

Profits = 1,084.80 - 49.80

Profits = 1,035

<u>US$ 1,084.80 were raised from the raffle tickets and US$ 1,035 are the profits after paying the prizes.</u>

According to police sources, a car with a certain protection system will be recovered 87% of the time. Find the probability that
WITCHER [35]

Answer: 0.01145

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Binomial distribution , where the probability of getting x successes in n trial is given by :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x} , p = probability of getting each success in each trial.

As per given

The proportion that a car with a certain protection system will be recovered= p=0.87

n= 8

Let x be the number of cars will be recovered.

Then, the probability that 4 of 8 stolen cars will be recovered:

P(X=4)=^8C_4(0.87)^4(1-0.87)^{8-4}

=\dfrac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}(0.87)^4(0.13)^4\\\\= 70(0.57289761)(0.00028561)\\\\=0.0114537700474\approx0.01145

Hence, the required probability is 0.01145.
