Answer:

1)28.8%

2)28.8%

3)43.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

1))Probability of wining both = Probability that first contract is won* Probability that second contract is won = 0.4 * 0.72 = 0.288 = 28.8%

2)Probability of losing = 1 - Probability of winning

Probability that they will lose both contracts = Probability that first contract is lost * Probability that second contract is lost = (1 - 40/100) * (1 - 54/100) = 0.276 = 27.6%

3)Probability that any one is won = 1 - both contracts are won - both contracts are lost = 1 - 0.276 - 0.288 = 0.436 = 43.6%

Which of the following correctly expresses sin (70) + sin(30) as a product?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

2sin50 cos20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write sin (70) + sin(30) as a product. The formula used here is :

\sin A+\sin B=2\sin (\dfrac{A+B}{2})\cos(\dfrac{a-b}{2})

Here, A = 70 and B = 30

So,

\sin 70+\sin 30=2\sin (\dfrac{70+30}{2})\cos(\dfrac{70-30}{2})\\\\\sin 70+\sin 30=2\sin 50\cos20

So, the value of sin (70) + sin(30) is 2sin50 cos20. Hence, the correct option is  (c).

Sierra left $4.50 as a tip for a waiter. This was 18% of the bill before the tip. How much was her total bill before the tip? En
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: $20.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x  denotes the amount for total bill.

We are given that ,  Sierra left $4.50 as a tip for a waiter.

This was 18% of the bill before the tip.

We can write 18% = 0.18. [To convert percent into decimal we divide it by 100.]

Then, the tip amount = 0.18 x Total bill

\Rightarrow\ 4.5=0.18x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{4.5}{0.18}=25

So, the total bill amount = $25

Hence, her total bill before the tip= Total bill amount - Tip amount

= $25- $4.50=$20.5

Thus ,her total bill before the tip= $20.5
