Answer: 2 25 52

Step-by-step explanation: They used a base of 60

from right to left a.60⁰, b.60¹, c.60², etc.

As 60³ = 216000 > 8752, we should start with 60².

As 60² = 3600, 8752/3600 = 2,43, we use 2.60²

8752 - 2.60² = 8752 - 7200 = 1552

1552/60 = 25,87; we use 25.60

1552 - 25.60 = 1552 - 1500 = 52

∴ 8752 = 2 25 52

What is the better buy?

White raven [17]

Answer: Option B is the cheaper deal (the 12 batteries for $14.76)

===========================================================

Explanation:

For the first deal we can say

3 batteries = 4.80 dollars

3/3 batteries = 4.80/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3

1 battery = 1.60 dollars

The unit price for the first deal is $1.60 per battery.

----------------------------------

For the second deal we could say

12 batteries = 14.76 dollars

12/12 batteries = 14.76/12 dollars .... divide both sides by 12

1 battery = 1.23 dollars

The unit price for the first deal is $1.23 per battery.

This is the cheaper deal.

----------------------------------

So in short, you're dividing the total cost over the number of items to get the unit price.

For a binomial process, the probability of success is 40 percent and the number of trials is 5. Find the standard deviation.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

$Sd(X) =\sqrt{1.2}=1.095$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=5, p=0.4)$
