Answer:

60.092%

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply create a ratio to find the difference created between the prices, and subtract this from 1 (100%) to find the percent decrease.

$19.95 / $49.99 = 0.39908

1 - 0.39908 = 0.60092

Given that we take away the difference from the price from the percent of the whole, we find that the price decrease is 60.092%.

Thus, we have found the percent decrease.

Cheers.

Answer:

95.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean (m) is equal to 20, the standard deviation (sd) 3

They ask us for P (x <25)

For this, the first thing is to calculate z, which is given by the following equation:

z = (x - m) / sd

We have all these values, replacing we have:

z = (25 - 20) / (3)

z = 1.66

With the normal distribution table (attached), we have that at that value, the probability is:

P (z <1.66) = 0.9515

Which means that the probability that it arrives before 25 minutes is 95.15%

Which represents the solution(s) of the graphed system of equations, y = x2 + 2x – 3 and y = x – 1?

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Second option: (-2,-3) and (1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations $\left \{ {{y = x^2 + 2x-3} \atop {y = x - 1}} \right.$ , you can rewrite them in this form:

$x^2 + 2x-3= x - 1$

Simplify:

$x^2 + 2x-3-x+1=0\\\\x^2+x-2=0$

Factor the quadratic equation. Choose two number whose sum be 1 and whose product be -2. These are: 2 and -1, then:

$(x+2)(x-1)=0\\\\x_1=-2\\\\x_2=1$

Substitute each value of "x" into any of the original equation to find the values of "y":

$y_1= (-2) - 1=-3\\\\y_2=(1)-1=0$

Then, the solutions are:

(-2,-3) and (1,0)
