If a price decreases by 20% I can calculate 20% of the price and subtract it from the original price or I can calculate it in on

e step and find blank percent of the original price

Answer:

both statements are fine

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price of a product after decreasing it, they can be done in the two ways that the statement tells us,

First, calculate that% that was decreased and then subtract it from the original price or simply multiply that original price by the percentage in which the new price would remain.

For example:

let "x" be the original price

in the first case it would be:

0.2 * x and then subtract from x, i.e .:

x - 0.2 * x

in the second case it is:

1 - 0.2 = 0.8

that is, the new price would be 0.8 * x

Suppose we roll a fair six-sided die and sum the values obtained on each roll, stopping once our sum exceeds 307. Approximate th
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

There is a probability of P=0.94 that at least 81 rolls are needed to get the sum of 307.

Step-by-step explanation:

The roll of a six-sided die sum has this parameters:

Mean: 3.5

Standard deviation: 1.7

If the die is rolled 81 times, the distribution of the sum of the 81 rolls will have the following parameters:

\mu=n*M=81*3.5=283.5\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{n}s=\sqrt{81}*1.7=9*1.7=15.3

Note: the variance of the sum of random variables is equal to the sum of the variance of the individual variables.

Then, we can calculate the probabilties that the sum of 81 rolls is lower than 307.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{307-283.5}{15.3}=  \frac{23.5}{15.3}= 1.536\\\\\\P(x

There is 94% of chances that the sum of 81 rolls is lower than 307, so there is a probability of P=0.94 that at least 81 rolls are needed to get the sum of 307.
