Answer:

The probability that none of the $100 bills are selected is 79.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The urn contains forty $1 bills and ten $100 bills.  This gives a total of 50 bills in the urn.

To draw 3 dollar bills one at a time out of an urn, the probability of not selecting a $100 bill, decreases with each selection.

And the probability of not selecting a $100 bill is the probability of selecting a $1 bill in the first selection  = 80% (40/50 x 100).

The probability of selecting a $1 bill the second time = 79.6% (39/49).

The probability of selecting a $1 bill the third time = 79.2% (38/48).

The sum of the probabilities divided by 3 = 79.6% (238.8/3)

b) Probability arises when there is a chance that an event may occur from a set of events that could have occurred. It is based on an estimate that one event happens when all the events in the set are given no less equal chance.

Marie purchased a 29.00 gift. She uses a coupon that offers 30 percent. How much will she spend on the gift after the coupon?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

$20.30

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual price of the gift is $29.00

Marie will get 30% DISCOUNT on this price if she uses her coupon. So, the final price would be 30% less than $29.00

First, we need to find 30% of $29.00. Then we need to subtract that from original price (29).

Convert percentage to decimal first:

30% = 30/100 = 0.3

Now multiply this with 29 to get:

0.3 * 29 = $8.70

We subtract this from original price to get DISCOUNTED PRICE:

$29.00 - $8.70 = $20.30
