Marilyn purchased a book that had a regular price of $19. She used a coupon that reduced the regular price by 15%. Sales tax for

the purchase was 6.5% of the reduced price. Marilyn paid for the purchase with a $20 bill. How much change should Marilyn receive for her purchase? Use words, numbers, or diagrams to justify your answer

Answer:

2.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount is the regular price times the discount

discount = 19 *15%

discount = 2.85

The new price is the regular price minus the discount

new price = 19-2.85

=16.15

Now she has to pay the sales tax

tax = new price * tax rate

tax= 16.15 * 6.5%

= 16.15 *.065

=1.05

We add the tax to the new price to get the final price

final price = new price+tax

= 16.15 +1.05

=17.20

She pays with a 20 dollar bill

Change = payment - final price

=20.00 - 17.20

= 2.80

Ship collisions in the Houston Ship Channel are rare. Suppose the number of collisions are Poisson distributed, with a mean of 1

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$a) \simeq 0.3012$ $b) \simeq 0.0494$ c) $\simeq 0.2438$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of collision,

1.2 collisions every 4 months

or, $\frac{1.2}{4}$

= 0.3 collisions per month

So, the Poisson distribution for the random variable no. of collisions per month (X) is given by,

P(X =x) = $\frac{e^{-\lambda}\times {\lambda}^{x}}}{x!}
$

for x ∈ N ∪ {0}

= 0 otherwise --------------------------------------(1)

here, $\lambda = 0.3$ collision / month

No collision over a 4 month period means no collision per month or X =0

Putting X = 0 in (1) we get,

P(X = 0) = $\frac{e^{-0.3}\times {\0.3}^{0}}{0!}
$

$\simeq 0.7408182207$ ------------------------------------(2)

Now, since we are calculating this for 4 months,

so, P(No collision in 4 month period)

= $0.7408182207^{4}$

$\simeq 0.3012$ -----------------------------------------------------------(3)

2 collision in 2 month period means 1 collision per month or X =1

Putting X =1 in (1) we get,

P(X =1) = $\frac{e^{-0.3}\times {\0.3}^{1}}{1!}
$

$\simeq 0.2222454662$ ------------------------------------(4)

Now, since we are calculating this for 2 months, so ,

P(2 collisions in 2 month period)

= $0.2222454662^{2}$

$\simeq 0.0494$ -----------------------------------------(5)

1 collision in 6 months period means

$\frac{1}{6}$ collision per month

Now, P(1 collision in 6 months period)

= P( X = 1/6] (which is to be estimated)

= $\frac {P(X=0)\times 5 + P(X =1)\times 1}{6}$

= \frac {0.7408182207 \times 5 + 0.2222454662 \times 1}{6}[/tex]

$\simeq 0.6543894283$ -------------------------------------------(6)

So,

P(1 collision in 6 month period)

= $0.6543894283^{6}$

$\simeq 0.0785267444$ ------------------------------------------------(7)

So,

P(No collision in 6 months period)

= $(P(X =0)^{6}$

$\simeq 0.1652988882$ ---------------------------------(8)

so,

P(1 or fewer collision in 6 months period)

= (8) + (7 ) = 0.0785267444 +0.1652988882

$\simeq 0.2438$ ---------------------------------------------(9)

Each of the 25 balls in a certain box is either red, blue, or white and has a number from 1 to 10 painted on it. If one ball is

LekaFEV [45]

Answer: Insufficient Information

The probability of selecting a red ball, a blue ball or a white ball is unknown.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of selecting a red ball, a blue ball or a white ball is unknown.

There could be 13 red balls, 1 blue ball and 11 white balls in the bag. There could be 3 red balls, 2 blue balls and 20 white balls in the bag. It is impossible to say with the information given have even numbers on them. The same thing applies to the number of balls with numbers or even numbers on them. The question does not specify how many white balls have each number on them.

Which statement describes the graph of f(x)=-4x^3-28x^2-32x+64

lord [1]

The only that has the shape of the one below.

y = -4(x^3 + 7x^2+8x - 16)
Let x = 1
y = - 4(1 + 7 + 8 - 16)
y = 0

y = -4(x -1)(x^2 + 8x + 16)
y = -4(x - 1)(x + 4)^2
