Your answer is $1.26
You can solve this problem with or without a calculator, and I don't know if you're allowed one or not so I'll show you both ways

Calculator:
The easiest way to find percentages of values on the calculator is to use the decimal multipliers, which are just the decimal value of the percentage. For example, 50% would be 0.5, 75% would be 0.75 etc. The decimal value of 15% is 0.15, so you would do 8.40 × 0.15 = 1.26

Non-Calculator:
This is a bit longer, but gives you the same answer. To solve without a calculator, you first divide 8.40 by 10 to find 10%, which is 0.84. Now you can divide that by 2 to find 5%, which would be 0.42, and then you add the two values (because 10% + 5% = 15%) to get 1.26

I hope this helps!

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

44.99+299.49 = $344.38

$344.38 - store card ($75) = $269.48

422.76 - 269.48 - 2.5 = $150.78

Therefore answer is A

In a semiconductor manufacturing process, three wafers from a lot are tested. Each wafer is classified as pass or fail. Assume t
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

P(X = 0) = 0.027

P(X = 1) = 0.189

P(X = 2) = 0.441

P(X = 3)= 0.343

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability mass function P(X = x) is the probability that X happens x times.

When n trials happen, for each x \leq n, the probability mass function is given by:

P(X = x) = pe_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which p is the probability that the event happens.

pe_{n,x}, is the permutation of n elements with x repetitions(when there are multiple events happening(like one passes and two not passing)). It can be calculated by the following formula:

pe_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!}

The sum of all P(X=x) must be 1.

In this problem

We have 3 trials, so n = 3

The probability that a wafer pass a test is 0.7, so p = 0.7

Determine the probability mass function of the number of wafers from a lot that pass the test.

P(X = 0) = (0.7)^{0}.(0.3)^{3} = 0.027

P(X = 1) = pe_{3,1}.(0.7).(0.3)^{2} = 0.189

P(X = 2) = pe_{3,2}.(0.7)^{2}.(0.3) = 0.441

P(X = 3) = (0.7)^{3} = 0.343

Evaluate the polynomial when a.x=0 and b.x=-1<br> x2 – 3x - 7
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

a) -7 & b) -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

a) x = 0

Solution ↦

x2 - 3x - 7 \\  =  0 \times 2 - 3 \times 0 - 7 \\  =  - 7

b) x = -1

Solution ↦

x2 - 3x - 7 \\  =  - 1 \times 2 - 3 \times ( - 1) - 7 \\  =  - 2 + 3 - 7 \\  =  - 9 + 3 \\  =  - 6

Jeanne thinks that x+x is the same as x•x. Is this true? Why? Why not?
NARA [144]
Generally, x <span>• x is accepted to mean "x times x" or "x multiplied by x"

and x+x means "x plus x" or "x added to x"

let's try by subsituting numbers for them
if we can find one case where the statement "x+x is the same as x</span><span>•x" is false, then it is not true


let's try x=4
x+x=x</span><span>•x
4+4=4</span>•<span>4
8=16
false



so it is not true
(x+x is equal to 2x, so therefor if we were to solve 2x=x</span><span>•x, we would get that it is only true for x=2 and x=0)

it is not always true
