Answer:

x = -1.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-8 x - 12.5 = 0

Add 12.5` to both sides:

(12.5 - 12.5) - 8 x = 12.5

12.5 - 12.5 = 0:

-8 x = 12.5

Divide both sides of -8 x = 12.5 by -8:

(-8 x)/(-8) = 12.5/(-8)

(-8)/(-8) = 1:

x = 12.5/(-8)

12.5/(-8) = -1.5625:

Answer: x = -1.5625

Harrison Water Sports has two retail outlets: Seattle and Portland. The Seattle store does 60 percent of the total sales in a ye

Anna11 [10]

Answer: P = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

The sample space of this problems is the set of all the possible sales. It is divided in the disjoint sets:

$S_s = {\text{sales made in Seattle }}\\S_p={\text {sales made in Portland}}$

We have also the set of sales of boat accesories $S_b$ , the colored one in the image.

We are given the data:

$P(S_s) = 0.6\\P(S_b | S_s) = \frac{P(S_b\bigcap S_s)}{P(S_s)}=0.4\\P(S_b|S_p) =\frac{P(S_b\bigcap S_p)}{P(S_p)}=0.2$

From these relations you can compute the probabilities of the intersections colored in the image:

$pink\;set:\;P(S_b \bigcap S_s) =0.6*0.4=0.24\\blue\;set\;:P(S_b \bigcap S_p)=(1-0.6)*0.2 =0.08$

You are asked about the conditional probability:

$P(S_s|S_b) = \frac{P(S_s \bigcap S_b)}{P(S_b)}$

To calculate this, you need $P(S_b)$ . In the image you can see that the set $S_b$ is the union of the two disjoint pink and blue sets. Then:

$P(S_b)=P((S_b \bigcap S_s)\bigcup(S_b \bigcap S_p)) = 0.24 + 0.08 = 0.32$

Finally:

$P(S_s|S_b) = \frac{0.24}{0.32}=0.75$

Miguel asked Sandra to make 90 cookies for his party. Sandra needs ¼ cup of sugar to make 15 cookies. She incorrectly calculated

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

She needs to find the amount of sugar needed to make 1 cookie , then multiply the result by 90.

This amount is found by dividing 1/4 by 15. Instead of dividing she multiplies these numbers.

Correct is:

Amount of sugar for 1 Cookie = 1/4 / 15 = 1/60 cups.

Amount of sugar for 90 cookies = 90 * 1/60

= 3/2 = 1 1/2 cups.
