One can take the price of the item before the discount is applied and subtract that from  the percentage off and get the cost of the item. 

I find this is the most effective way. 

another method could be if one turned the percentage into a decimal it could be subtracted from the cost of the item.

Answer:

1. Find the value of the discount amount, and subtract from the original.

2. Find the value of the item after discount by using 100%-30%.

I prefer the second, as it is faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the value of the discount amount, and subtract from the original.

Say y is the amount you pay after the discount, and x is the original price, the calculation will look like this:

The value of the discount is 30% of x, which is equal to 0.3x.

subtract that from the original value to find y:

<em>y = x - 0.3x</em>

2. Find the value of the item after discount by using 100%-30%.

The amount left over after subtraction thirty % is 70%

Thus,

<em>y = 0.7 x</em>

If A and B are independent events and P(A) and P(B) are both greater than 1/2
elixir [45]

Answer:

P(A and B) is greater than 1 is never happened ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events are independent if the result of the second event is not  affected by the result of the first event

If A and B are independent events, the probability of both events  is the product of the probabilities of the both events  P (A and B) = P(A) · P(B)

∵ The probability of any event is less than 1

∵ P(A) < 1

∵ P(A) > \frac{1}{2}

- That means P(A) is greater than half and less than 1

∴ \frac{1}{2} < P(A) < 1

∵ P(B) < 1

∵ P(B) > \frac{1}{2}

- That means P(B) is greater than half and less than 1

∴ \frac{1}{2} < P(B) < 1

∵ P(A and B) = P(A) . P(B)

- Remember the product of any fractions less than 1 is less than 1

∴ \frac{1}{4} < P(A) . P(B) < 1

- That means any expression equals to P(A) . P(B) must be greater

   than \frac{1}{4} and less than 1

∴ \frac{1}{4} < P(A and B) < 1

∴ P(A and B) is greater than 1 is never happened

A football player ran the ball for 40 yards, 45 yards, 48 yards, 52 yards, and 105 yards. What is the outlier?
Vinil7 [7]
An outlier is a value that is much higher or much lower than the rest of the values in the data set.

The answer here is 105 because it is nearly double all other values.
65 is incorrect because it's not even a value in the data set.
