Answer: 0.3023

Step-by-step explanation:

86 band members

26 are senior, 17 plays trumpet. If 4 are seniors and play trumpet, we solve this using the bayes theorem of conditional probability.

Probability of choosing band member that plays trumpet =17/86 = 2/43.

Probability of choosing a senior that plays trumpet = 4/26

Probability that a chosen member is a senior given that he plays trumpet = (2/43)/(4/26)

= 0.3023.

What is a equivalent rational number to 1.28 repeating?
goblinko [34]
<span>the line over the 28 means the 28 repeats forever. 1.282828.... and so on let x be the rational number 1.28... we can use this trick: 100*1.282828....= 128.282828... (the decimal 28 part repeats) 100x = 128.28... next: 100x - x = 128.282828... - 1.282828... the .282828... part will be subtracted away 99x = 127 divide both sides by 99 to get x= 127/99</span>

Answer:

  ∠4 = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 1, 2, and 4 are all congruent.

  ∠4 = ∠2

  x +30 = 2x +15

  15 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract x+15

  x + 30 = 45 = ∠4

You are considering the purchase of a closed circuit TV monitoring system for your store. The quarterly physical inventory has s
Tcecarenko [31]
If quarterly shrinkage (every 3 months) is 2.5%, then multiplying by $875,495 gives a value of 21887.38, or an average monthly shrinkage of 21887.38 / 3 = $7,295.79.For an employee to monitor the CCTV, it would cost ($7.5/h)(11 h/d)(30 d/m) = $2,475/month. Therefore, it is much cheaper (around 2/3 cheaper) to have an employee monitor CCTV rather than to allow the high shrinkage rate.

Door is 77 inches high, 35.25 inches wide and 1,75 inches thick how much paint is needed
Leviafan [203]
If you wanted to paint the entire door (even the top and bottom which people don't usually paint)

the surface area is
SA=2(LW+LH+WH)
where L=length, W=width and H=height

given
L=35.25
W=1.75
H=77

SA=2(35.25*1.75+35.25*77+1.75*77)
SA=2(61.6875+2714.25+134.75)
SA=2(2910.6875)
SA=5821.375

you need enough paint to cover 5821.375 square inches of door

irina1246 [14]

Using the data presented in the problem, you are asked to predict the probability that future customers will cancel their preorders. To find the probability, you have to divide the number of people who cancelled their preorders by the total number of people who preordered.

35 people / 140 people = .25 or 25% probability that the future customers will cancel their preorders.
