<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Probability that the surgery is successful for exactly 6 patients is 0.088.</em>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<em>The total number of patients is 10 and the probability of success is 0.8.</em>

We have to determine the probability of success of the surgery of exactly 6 patients.

<em>6 patients can be selected from 10 patients in nC_r  ways.</em>

<em>nC_r=10C_6= \frac {10!}{6!(10-6)!}</em>

<em>= \frac{10!}{(6! \times 4!)}</em>

<em>= \frac {3628800}{(720 \times 24)}</em>

<em>=210</em>

Let us consider a combination SSSSSSFFFF where S denotes success and F denotes failure. The probability of this combination is given by

<em>0.8^6 \times 0.2^4  since the chance of success is 0.8 and chance of failure is 0.2.</em>

There are 210 such different combinations possible and the probability of every combination is the same. So we have to sum up all the probabilities to determine the final probability.

<em>Therefore the probability that surgery is successful for 6 patients is 0.8^6 \times 0.2^4 \times 210=0.088</em>

You go to Home Depot to buy some materials for a project. Your total bill for materials only was $45.90. You go to the check out
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

$34.20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the cost with tax

You are paying 7.2% tax, but you are also paying for 100% of the bill

100%+7.2%=107.2%

So, you are really paying for 107.2% of the bill

Convert 107.2% to a decimal by dividing by 100 or moving the decimal 2 spaces to the right

107.2/100=1.072

Multiply the decimal by the cost of the bill

1.072*45.90=49.2048

But, we also have a coupon for $15 off

Subtract 15 from the cost with tax

49.2048-15=34.2048

Round to the nearest cent/hundreth

$34.20

Hope this helps! :)
