Answer: 3.4875

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, According to the question,

Total amount is $23.25

100\% = 23.25

⇒1\% = \frac{23.25}{100}

⇒1\%= \frac{0.95}{8}

⇒ 15\%= 15\times \frac{0.95}{8} ( By multiplying 15 on both sides)

⇒ 15\%= \frac{14.25}{8}

⇒  15\%= 3.4875

Thus, 15% of $23.25 is $3.4875

Find tan 0 where 0 is the angle shown
Anika [276]

Answer:

Because tan represents \frac{opposite}{adjacent} from θ (theta), the equation should be tan0=\frac{15}{x}. Let's leave this equation like that. Now, we need to find the unknown side length, x. We need to use Pythagorean Theorem, because we're given the other two side lengths. The equation should be x^{2}+15^{2}=17^{2}. X should equal ±8 or 8, because a side length can't be a negative value. Now, we can plug in 8 into the equation to get tan0=\frac{15}{8}.

Suppose that 60 percent of customers at a McDonalds purchase a hamburger, and assume that the purchases of different customers a
Alborosie

Answer:

a) 83.87% probability that at most 7 of the next 10 customers will order a hamburger.

b) 25.08% probability that exactly 6 of the next 10 customers will order a hamburger

Step-by-step explanation:

For each customer at McDonalds, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they purchase a hamburguer, or they do not. The purchases of different customers are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

60 percent of customers at a McDonalds purchase a hamburger

This means that p = 0.6

a) What is the probability that at most 7 of the next 10 customers will order a hamburger? (3 POINTS).

This is P(X \leq 7) when n = 10.

We know that either at most 7 of the next customers will order a hamburguer, or more than 7 will. The sum of these probabilities is decimal 1. So

P(X \leq 7) + P(X > 7) = 1

P(X \leq 7) = 1 - P(X > 7)

In which

P(X > 7) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

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

P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.6)^{8}.(0.4)^{2} = 0.1209

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.6)^{9}.(0.4)^{1} = 0.0403

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.6)^{10}.(0.4)^{0} = 0.0001

P(X > 7) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.1209 + 0.0403 + 0.0001 = 0.1613

P(X \leq 7) = 1 - P(X > 7) = 1 - 0.1613 = 0.8387

83.87% probability that at most 7 of the next 10 customers will order a hamburger.

b) What is the probability that exactly 6 of the next 10 customers will order a hamburger? (3 POINTS)

This is P(X = 6).

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

P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.6)^{6}.(0.4)^{4} = 0.2508

25.08% probability that exactly 6 of the next 10 customers will order a hamburger
