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.

Answer:

\boxed{\bf \cfrac{\boxed{c}}{\boxed{a }+ b}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\tt (x_1,y_1) : A (0,0)

\tt (x_2,y_2) : C (a+b, c)

\boxed{\tt Slope= \cfrac{y_2,y_1}{x_2,x_1}}

\tt \cfrac{c - 0}{a + b - 0}

Add zero (Anything plus zero gives itself).

\tt \cfrac{c}{a + b + 0}

\tt \cfrac{c}{a + b}

If you want to buy an item in a store that costs $15 and is on sale for 15% off, then how much would the item actually cost you
scoray [572]

Answer:

It would cost you $12.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Model an equation, using c as the initial cost variable and x as the final cost, and then solve for x.

x =  \frac{100 - 15}{100} c \\ x =  \frac{85}{100} (15) \\ x =  \frac{17}{20} (15) \\ x =  \frac{17}{4} (3) \\ x = \frac{51}{4}  \\ x = 12.75

In each case, determine if the function can be differentiated using the rules developed so far (sections 3.1 and 3.2). (a) y = 2
Alex_Xolod [135]
The rule for differentiation for variable with exponents has the formula:

d/dx (xⁿ) = nxⁿ⁻¹
where n is the exponent

Thus, for the given equation, the solution is as follows:
y = 2x²
dy/dx = 2(2)x²⁻¹ = <em>4x

Thus, the derived equation of the given would now be 4x.</em>
