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.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y =1/3 x + 4 and passes through the point (6, 5)?
lianna [129]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{1}{3}

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (6, 5) into the partial equation

5 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 2 = 3

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 3 ← equation of parallel line

Arthur bought a life insurance policy at $10.98 per month for a 20 year term. What will he pay over 20 years for the premium?
andre [41]
12(months) x 20 (years) = 240

10.98 x 240 = 2635.20

So Arthur will pay $2635.20 over 20 years for premium.

I hope this helps :)

➷ As there would be 2 circles, you'd need to find the area of a circle and then multiply it by 2

To start with, we can use this:

2 (\pir^2)

^^ This represents the surface area of the two circles

A cylinder also has a rectangle which is rolled to form the shape

As we know, the formula of a rectangles area is length x width

The width of the rectangle would be equal to the circumference of a circle

circumference of circle = \pi d

The length of the rectangle would be the height of the cylinder

We can use this:

(\pi d * h) + 2(\pi r^2)

This would calculate the surface area as it would find the area of the rectangle plus the area of the two circles.

<h3><u>✽</u></h3>

➶ Hope This Helps You!

➶ Good Luck (:

➶ Have A Great Day ^-^
