Answer:

$48.66

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of a good is the base cost plus tax. We are given the cost of the skirt, so all we need is the amount of tax. To find it, we multiple the cost of the skirt by the tax rate:

45.99 * 0.058 = 2.67

We now add the tax to the cost of the skirt:

45.99 + 2.67 = 48.66

As you can see, we are adding the price of the skirt to 5.8% of the skirt's price, so we can also solve the problem by simply multiplying the cost by 1.058 as shown below:

45.99 * 1.058 = 48.66

Answer:

a) The probability that a student has either a Visa card or a MasterCard is 0.71.

b) V and M are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability that a student has a Visa card (event V) is 0.63. The probability that a student has a MasterCard (event M) is 0.11. The probability that a student has both cards is 0.03.

To find :

a) The probability that a student has either a Visa card or a MasterCard ?

b) In this problem, are V and M independent ?

Solution :

The probability that a student has a visa card(event V) is P(V)= 0.63

The probability that a student has a MasterCard (event M) is P(M)= 0.11

The probability that a student has both cards is $P(V \cap M)=0.03$
