Stella and Brianna work at a furniture store. Stella is paid $190 per week plus 7% of her total sales in dollars, xx, which can

be represented by g(x)=190+0.07xg(x)=190+0.07x. Brianna is paid $407 per week plus 3.5% of her total sales in dollars, xx, which can be represented by f(x)=407+0.035xf(x)=407+0.035x. Determine the value of xx, in dollars, that will make their weekly pay the same.

Answer:

$6200

Step-by-step explanation:

Stella's Pay, g(x)=190+0.07x

Brianna's Pay, f(x)=407+0.035x

If their weekly pay is the same, then: g(x)=f(x)

190+0.07x=407+0.035x

Collect like terms

0.07x-0.035x=407-190

0.035x=217

Divide both sides by 0.035

x=6,200

When each of their total sales is $6200, their weekly pay will be the same.

In a television series there is exactly one crime committed in every episode. It has been observed that the probability that the

Answer:

$P(x \le 3) = 0.2352$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p = 0.35$ --- male committing a crime in an episode

$n = 5$ -- Number of episodes

Required

Determine the probability of male committing a crime at least 3 times

This question illustrates binomial distribution and will be solved using;

$P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x$

So, the required probability is represented as:

$P(x \ge 3)$

And will be calculated using:

$P(x \ge 3) = P(x = 3) + P(x = 4) + P(x = 5)$

$P(x = 3) = ^5C_3 * (0.35)^3 * (1 - 0.35)^{5-3}$

$P(x = 3) = ^5C_3 * (0.35)^3 * (1 - 0.35)^2$

$P(x = 3) = 10 * (0.35)^3 * (0.65)^2$

$P(x = 3) = 0.1811$

$P(x = 4) = ^5C_4 * (0.35)^4 * (1 - 0.35)^{5-4}$

$P(x = 4) = 5 * (0.35)^4 * (1 - 0.35)^1$

$P(x = 4) = 5 * (0.35)^4 * (0.65)$

$P(x = 4) = 0.0488$

$P(x = 5) = ^5C_5 * (0.35)^5 * (1 - 0.35)^{5-5}$

$P(x = 5) = 1 * (0.35)^5 * (1 - 0.35)^0$

$P(x = 5) = 1 * (0.35)^5 * (0.65)^0$

$P(x = 5) = 1 * (0.35)^5 * 1$

$P(x = 5) = 0.0053$

So:

$P(x \ge 3) = P(x = 3) + P(x = 4) + P(x = 5)$

$P(x \le 3) = 0.1811 + 0.0488 + 0.0053$

$P(x \le 3) = 0.2352$

What is the probability of drawing a black ace followed by a heart out

Verdich [7]

Correct option C) 0.98%

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that , there are 2 black ace cards out of 52 cards in a deck & 13 hearts out of 52 cards . Here we have to tell What is the probability of drawing a black ace followed by a heart out of a deck when the cards aren't replaced . Let's find out:

Firstly , a black ace is drawn , so probability :

⇒ $P(Black) = \frac{2}{52}$

Now , A heart is drawn out of 51 cards ( as one black ace is already drawn !):

⇒ $P(Heart) = \frac{13}{51}$

So , Probability of occurring both events is :

⇒ $P(Black)(P(Heart))$

⇒ $\frac{2}{52} (\frac{13}{51} )$

⇒ $0.0098$

Percentage = $0.0098(100) = 0.98$ %

Therefore , Correct option C) 0.98%

Make Q the subject of the formula A = Q2 - 2a.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{Q = \sqrt{A+2a}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$A = Q^2 -2a$

Adding 2a to both sides

$Q^2 = A+2a$

Taking sqrt on both sides

$Q = \sqrt{A+2a}$

None of these are choices, because in order to make 20ths equal a 45th, it was to end in a 20,40,60,80, or ending in 00.
