Answer:

So we have a ratio which you have specified 13:52. So we just need to get the same ratio for 13. 32/52 is how we get 32 from multiplying by 52. So now we just need to multiply it for 13 also'

13*32/52 = 8. Therefore the answer to this is 8

This meal originally costs $75. Fatima used a 20% off coupon and then tax was added. The total after coupon and tax was $75.

Savatey [412]

The discount given on the cost of the meal is $15

<h3>How to calculate tax on a given price</h3>

According to the question, we are given the following information

The original cost of the meal = $75

Off coupon = 20%

Required

The number of coupons given

coupon amount = 0.2 * 75
coupon amount = $15

Hence the discount given on the cost of the meal is $15

In a recent survey of 25 voters, 17 favor a new city regulation and 8 oppose it. What is the probability that in a random sample

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$P(X=2)=(6C2)(0.68)^2 (1-0.68)^{6-2}=0.0727$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

2) Solution to the problem

The probability in favor of the regulation based on the recent survey is:

$p = \frac{17}{25}=0.68$

Let X the random variable of interest "Number of favor respondents about the regulation", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=6, p=0.68)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(X=2)=(6C2)(0.68)^2 (1-0.68)^{6-2}=0.0727$

If we use X= "Number of respondednts opposed to the regulation we got the same answer", but on this case p = 1-0.68=0.32, and we want this probability:

$P(X=4)=(6C4)(0.32)^4 (1-0.32)^{6-4}=0.0727$
