The original cost of the dress is $63.64

Step-by-step explanation:

After hitting the black Friday sales

  • Sarah bought her dress on sale for $35
  • She saved 45%

We need to find the original cost of the dress

The money that Sarah saved is the value of the discount on the dress

Assume that the price of the dress before the black Friday is 100%

∵ The price of the dress before the black Friday is 100%

∵ She saved 45% when she bought it the black Friday

∴ The price of the dress is decreased by 45%

∵ She bought the dress for $35 ⇒ (after discount)

Let use use the percentage method

→ Before discount  :  Discount  :  After discount

→        100%              :       45%     :      55% (100 - 45)

→         x                    :                    :      35

By using cross multiplication

∵ x × 55% = 35 × 100%

- Divide both sides by 55%

∴ x = 63.64

The original cost of the dress is $63.64

suppose that the lifetime of a transistor is a gamma random variable x with mean of 24 weeks and standard deviation of 12 weeks.
emmainna [20.7K]

The probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424

X= lifetime of the transistor in weeks E(X)= 24 weeks

O,= 12 weeks

The anticipated value, variance, and distribution of the random variable X were all provided to us. Finding the parameters alpha and beta is necessary before we can discover the solutions to the difficulties.

X~gamma(\alpha ,\beta)

E(X)= \alpha \beta                 \beta= 12^{2}/24=6 weeks

V(x)= \alpha \beta ^{2}                \alpha=24/6= 4

Now we can find the solutions:

The excel formula used to create Figure one is as follows:

=gammadist(X, \alpha, \beta, False)

P(12\leq X\leq 24)

P(12/6\leq G\leq 24/6)

P(2\leq G\leq 4)

P= 0.424

Therefore, probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424

A restaurant owner made a list of the number of meals ordered last night. She found that 42 people ordered chicken Parmesan, 39
jasenka [17]

Answer:

29/110

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 110 orders at the restaurant, so that will serve as the denominator. There are 29 meatballs, so that will be the numerator. Combine the two and you get 29/110. Experimental probability is what happens in the experiment like this question. Theoretical probability is "real math" as in 1/3.

How many solutions does the equation have?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: there is only one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation

The 4x's will cross out on the right

4x - 4x = 0x = 0

On the left:

2x - 4x = -2x

Now the equation looks like:

-2x + 3 = 2

Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

3 - 3 = 0

On the right:

2 - 3 = -1

Equation:

-2x = -1

Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

-2x ÷ -2 = 1

On the right:

-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2

x= 1/2
