Answer:

a) There is a 45.53% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

b) There is a 41.07% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

c) There is a 18.70% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

d) There is a 58.93% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Step-by-step explanation:

This a probability problem.

The probability formula is given by:

P = \frac{D}{T}

In which P is the probability, D is the number of desired outcomes and T is the number of total outcomes.

The problem states that:

123 people walked by the store.

56 people came into the store.

23 bought something in the store.

(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

123 people walked by the store and 56 entered the store, so T = 123, D = 56.

So

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{56}{123} = 0.4553

There is a 45.53% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

56 people came into the store and 23 bought something, so T = 56, D = 23.

So

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{23}{56} = 0.4107

There is a 41.07% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

123 people walked by the store and 23 came in and bought something, so T = 123, D = 23.

So

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{23}{123} = 0.1870

There is a 18.70% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Of the 56 people whom came into the store, 23 bought something. This means that 56-23 = 33 of them did not buy anything. So:

D = 33, T = 56

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{33}{56} = 0.5893

There is a 58.93% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

At a grocery store, the price of a watermelon is determined by how many pounds the watermelon weighs. The price of a watermelon
vodka [1.7K]
P = w * .6

Explanation: First, we must determine the price per pound of watermelon. To do this, we take the cost of the watermelons, and divide it by the number of pounds. 4.38 / 7.3, which is .6. This tells us each pound costs 60 cents, or $.6. We’re trying to say “The total price of watermelon would be the amount of watermelon bought times .6.” Plug in the variables you’re given, and you get p = w * 6.

PLZ HURRY carrie is 3 times as old as Eva. in 15 years Carrie will be twice as old as Eva. how old are they both now
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Age of Eva =  15 Years

Age of Carrie = 45 Years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Eva be X years

Given that Carrie is 3 times as old as Eva

Therefore age of Carrie = 3X YEARS.

__________________________________________________________

After 15 years

Age of Eva = X + 15

Age of Carrie = 3X +15

Given that Carrie is twice as old as Eva

so according to this condition

age of Carrie = 2*Age of Eva

Substituting the age of Eva and Carrie

3X +15 = 2*(X + 15 )

=> 3X +15 = 2X +30

=> 3X - 2X = 30 - 15

=> X = 15

Since X was assumed age of Eva so age of Eva is 15 years

age of Carrie = 3X years = 3*15 = 45 years.

Dmitrij [34]
Let C(x) be the function which calculates the total cost of making x skirts.

There is going to be a fixed constant, 250, to which we will add 15$ per x skirts.


So C(x)=250+15x

Answer: 250+15x
