What number is smaller number -5 or -15? Explain your answer. Please help college math basic algebra

Goryan [66]

-15 is the smaller number because the further you go into the negatives like -30, -47, -52; youre getting further away from 0 and after 0 are positive numbers so -15 would be the smaller number

The computer store pays its employees $150 per day plus a commission of 15% of their sales. Teagan wants to make at least $450 t

Savatey [412]

The equation 0.15 x + 150 ≥ 450 will help Teagan determine how much he has to sell today ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

The computer store pays its employees $150 per day plus a commission of 15% of their sales
Teagan wants to make at least $450 today

We need to find which equation will help Teagan to determine how much he has to sell today

Assume that he has to sell by $x today

∵ The store pays $150 per day plus a commission of 15%

of their sales

∵ Teagan's total sales = x

- Multiply 15% by x, then add the product by 150

∴ Teagan makes = 15% × x + 150

∵ 15% × x = $\frac{15}{100}$ × x = 0.15 x

∴ Teagan makes = 0.15 x + 150

∵ Teagan wants to make at least $450 today

- At least means ≥

∴ Teagan makes ≥ 450

- Substitute Teagan makes by 0.15 x + 150

∴ 0.15 x + 150 ≥ 450

The equation 0.15 x + 150 ≥ 450 will help Teagan determine how much he has to sell today

A recent study suggested that 70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election. Suppose 20 eligible voters

natita [175]

Answer:

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote

Step-by-step explanation:

For each voter, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will vote, or they will not. The probability of a voter voting is independent of any other voter, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election.

This means that $p = 0.7$

20 eligible voters were randomly selected from the population of all eligible voters.

This means that $n = 20$

What is the probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote?

This is:

$P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{10}.(0.3)^{10} = 0.0308$

$P(X = 9) = C_{20,9}.(0.7)^{9}.(0.3)^{11} = 0.0120$

$P(X = 8) = C_{20,8}.(0.7)^{8}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0039$

$P(X = 7) = C_{20,7}.(0.7)^{7}.(0.3)^{13} = 0.0010$

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,10}.(0.7)^{6}.(0.3)^{12} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.7)^{5}.(0.3)^{15} \approx 0$

The probability of 5 or less voting is very close to 0, so they will not affect the outcome. Then

$P(X < 11) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 0) = 0.0308 + 0.0120 + 0.0039 + 0.0010 + 0.0002 = 0.0479$

0.0479 = 4.79% probability that fewer than 11 of them will vote

2.16= with the repeating decimal being 6

Goshia [24]

Since the .16 is in the hundredths place, the fraction is 2 16/100, or 216/100

But if you need to simplify it it's 2 4/25, or 54/25
