27.034%  
Let's define the function P(x) for the probability of getting a parking space exactly x times over a 9 month period. it would be: 
P(x) = (0.3^x)(0.7^(9-x))*9!/(x!(9-x)!)  
Let me explain the above. The raising of (0.3^x)(0.7^(9-x)) is the probability of getting exactly x successes and 9-x failures. Then we shuffle them in the 9! possible arrangements. But since we can't tell the differences between successes, we divide by the x! different ways of arranging the successes. And since we can't distinguish between the different failures, we divide by the (9-x)! different ways of arranging those failures as well. So P(4) = 0.171532242 meaning that there's a 17.153% chance of getting a parking space exactly 4 times. 
Now all we need to do is calculate the sum of P(x) for x ranging from 4 to 9.

So
 P(4) = 0.171532242
 P(5) = 0.073513818
 P(6) = 0.021003948
 P(7) = 0.003857868
 P(8) = 0.000413343
 P(9) = 0.000019683
  And
 0.171532242 + 0.073513818 + 0.021003948 + 0.003857868 + 0.000413343
+ 0.000019683 = 0.270340902 
 So the probability of getting a parking space at least four out of the nine months is 27.034%

Immediately omit the negative possible answer. Since 5^2 = 25, 1/5^2 = 1/25.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

£70.00

Step-by-step explanation:

You basically want to find what she spent in total, then subtract the amount she spent on ingredients.

50 glasses of lemonade at £2.10 each would be £105. (50*2.1)

Subtract the cost of ingredients, which is £35, with the total she made, £105, to get £70 (105-35)

barxatty [35]

The amount of money worker will take home is €24752.6

<h3>What is gross pay?</h3>

Gross pay is the amount earned by any individual without any deductions of the taxes, and charges. It is the total amount of money earned by anyone.

Given that:-

  • The gross pay of a worker in a factory is €30800.60 per annum. If €504 is deducted from his salary month.

The amount of money he will take home will be calculated as:-

Gross pay = €30800.60

Deductions = €504 per month = 504 x 12 = €6048 per year.

So net pay = 30800.6 - 6048 =  €24752.6

Therefore the amount of money the worker will take home is €24752.6
