Answer:

P = ₁₅C₀ (0.76)¹⁵ + ₁₅C₁ (0.24)¹ (0.76)¹⁴ + ₁₅C₂ (0.24)² (0.76)¹³

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability:

P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1−p).

Here, n = 15, p = 0.24, and q = 0.76.

We want to find the probability when r is at most 2, which means r = 0, r = 1, and r = 2.

P = ₁₅C₀ (0.24)⁰ (0.76)¹⁵⁻⁰ + ₁₅C₁ (0.24)¹ (0.76)¹⁵⁻¹ + ₁₅C₂ (0.24)² (0.76)¹⁵⁻²

P = ₁₅C₀ (0.76)¹⁵ + ₁₅C₁ (0.24)¹ (0.76)¹⁴ + ₁₅C₂ (0.24)² (0.76)¹³

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point(-6,12) and is parallel to the line y=8
Ugo [173]

Answer:

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 8 is the equation of a horizontal line, parallel to the x- axis.

Thus a parallel line will also be horizontal.

The equation of a horizontal line is

y = c

where c is the y- coordinates of the points it passes through.

The line passes through (- 6, 12) with y- coordinate of 12, thus

y = 12 ← equation of parallel line

Answer:

The total cash received is $30740.

Step-by-step explanation:

Montana Company sold merchandise with a retail price of $ 29,000 for cash. Montana Company is required to collect a 6 ​% state sales tax.

Therefore, the total cash received from customer = Retail Price + State Sales Tax.

= $30740

Hence, the total cash received is $30740. (Answer)
