The percent discount was,

55.5556. It could be changed to 56%, but as a whole it would more than likely be 55%.

A probability calculator is required on this problem; answer to six decimal places. Suppose we will spin the wheel pictured 400

KiRa [710]

Answer:

$P(90< X< 110)= P(\frac{90-80}{8}$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(90< X< 110)=P(z$

And we can find the real value with the following excel code using the binomial distribution:

"=BINOM.DIST(110,400,0.2,TRUE)-BINOM.DIST(89,400,0.2,TRUE)"

And we got 0.118 a very close value from the value obtained using the normal approximation

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=400, p=0.2)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.

$np=400*0.2=80 \geq 10$

$n(1-p)=400*(1-0.2)=320 \geq 10$

So we see that we satisfy the conditions and then we can apply the approximation.

If we appply the approximation the new mean and standard deviation are:

$E(X)=np=400*0.2=80$

$\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{400*0.2(1-0.2)}=8$

So then we can approximate the random variable as $X \sim N(\mu = 80, \sigma = 8)$

And we want this probability:

$P(90< X< 110)$

We can use the z score formula given by:

$z = \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}$

And replacing we got:

$P(90< X< 110)= P(\frac{90-80}{8}$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(90< X< 110)=P(z$

And we can find the real value with the following excel code using the binomial distribution:

"=BINOM.DIST(110,400,0.2,TRUE)-BINOM.DIST(89,400,0.2,TRUE)"

And we got 0.118 a very close value from the value obtained using the normal approximation

The lengths of one triangle are are 2/3 the lengths of the sides of a similar triangle. if a side of the larger triangle is 36 m

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

36= 3 equal parts

so: 36/3 =12

One part=12

so 2 parts is 12*2

12*2=24mm is the answer

Define saturated and unsaturated fats

Colt1911 [192]

$\fbox \red{Saturated fat}$

A saturated fat is a type of fat in which the fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds. A fat is made of two kinds of smaller molecules: glycerol and fatty acids. Fats are made of long chains of carbon atoms. Some carbon atoms are linked by single bonds and others are linked by double bonds

$\fbox \red{unsaturated fat}$

a type of fat containing a high proportion of fatty acid molecules with at least one double bond, considered to be healthier in the diet than saturated fat.

Thanku ❤️ have a great day ahead ✨☁️

Welcome to the era of LeBron. If you thought he was doing the game a disservice by being a sore loser and egomaniac, you haven’t seen anything yet. It wasn’t enough that he decided to become a pariah, he and his group of cronies have decided they want to ruin the NBA.

How? By systematically turning every superstar in the NBA into LeBron James. They are trying to turn them into spoiled, delusional, lying, quitting cowards.

Two of the biggest stories this offseason have been the drama in Denver and New Orleans. Both players, for whatever reasons, have decided that they no longer want to be the cornerstone of a franchise. Before the summer of Lebron, neither had really been asking to get out of their situations. So what is the common thread here? Well, both are represented by agent Leon Rose. Who else is represented by Rose? Why Mr. James, of course.
