Answer:

33.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume a price is 100 dollars. It will be easier to calculate.

First, a mark down of 25%. That is:

25/100 = 0.25

0.25 * 100 = 25

Mark Down, so 100 - 25 = 75 dollars

It is worth 75 dollars now.

Next, 55% off, so

55/100 = 0.55

0.55 * 75 = 41.25

So, it is worth now 75 - 41.25 = 33.75 dollars

So, you end up paying 33.75 dollars off the original price of 100 dollars. That is 33.75% off original

Binomial distribution can be used because the situation satisfies all the following conditions:1. Number of trials is known and remains constant (n)2. Each trial is Bernoulli (i.e. exactly two possible outcomes) (success/failure)3. Probability is known and remains constant throughout the trials (p)4. All trials are random and independent of the othersThe number of successes, x, is then given by $P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ where $C(n,x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$
Here we're given
p=0.10 [ success = defective ]
n=3

(a) x=0
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,0)0.1^0(1-0.1)^{3-0}$
$=1(1)(0.729)$
$=0.729$

(b) x=2
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)$
$=0.027$

(c) x ≥ 2
$P(x)=\sum_{x=2}^3C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=P(2)+P(3)$
$=C(n,2)p^2(1-p)^{n-2}+C(n,3)p^3(1-p)^{n-3}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}+C(3,3)0.1^3(1-0.1)^{3-3}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)+1(0.001)1$
$=0.027+0.001$
$=0.028$

PLS HELP Choose the solution to this inequality. 43<−83y y < −12 y > 12 y < 43 y > 4

OlgaM077 [116]

Given:

The inequality is:

$\dfrac{4}{3}$

To find:

The solution of the given inequality.

Solution:

We have,

$\dfrac{4}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 3.

$4$

Divide both sides by -8 and change the sign of inequality.

$\dfrac{4}{-8}>\dfrac{-8y}{-8}$

$-\dfrac{1}{2}>y$

It can be written as:

$y$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

How do you solve 1-5+1×(4×4-31)×8

Alja [10]

Hey there!

In order to solve this, remember PEMDAS. First, start with solving whatever is in parentheses. Then, move on to exponents. Then, complete the multiplication and division. Lastly, add or subtract anything remaining. Omit any steps that aren't present.

Parentheses:

<span>1 – 5 + 1 × (4 × 4 – 31) × 8
</span>1 – 5 + 1 × (–15) × 8

Multiplication/Division (Left to Right):

1 – 5 + (–15) × 8
1 – 5 + (–120)
1 – 5 – 120

Addition/Subtraction (Left to Right):

–4 – 120
–124

Your answer is –124.

Hope this helped you out! :-)

The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8,4) and (0, 2) is y-

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

While the point-slope equation of a line is given by:

$y-y_ {0} = m (x-x_ {0})$

Where:

m: It's the slope

$(x_ {0}, y_ {0}):$ It is a point through which the line passes

In this case we have a line through:

(8,4) and (0,2)

Therefore, its slope is:

$m = \frac {2-4} {0-8} = \frac {-2} {- 8} = \frac {1} {4}$

Its point-slope equation is:

$y-4 = \frac {1} {4} (x-8)$

Then, we manipulate the expression to find the equation of the slope-intersection form:

$y-4 = \frac {1} {4} x- \frac {8} {4}\\y-4 = \frac {1} {4} x-2\\y = \frac {1} {4} x-2 + 4\\y = \frac {1} {4} x + 2$

Therefore, the cut-off point with the y-axis is $b = 2$

ANswer:

$y = \frac {1} {4} x + 2$
