Answer:

The original price of the calculator was $444

Step-by-step explanation:

So follow this equation

1.99x=883.56

1.99 becuase 99 percent is the .99 and since the original price with no change of all is worth 100 percent With no sales or increases, we add the 99 percent this time becuase it increased by 99%.

X is for the original price of the calculator

If you still don’t undertsand it works like this.

100% is basically 1.00 becuase you move the decimal place 2 times to the left for percentages. And if you multiply the original price by 100 percent, its basically 1x which will end up with x. Same thing. But when you increase a price, you add to the 1.00 like in this case 99% increase which is adding .99 to 1.00. If it decreases same thing except you subtract from that 1.00 But the percent. this saves a whole nother step Which makes percentage questions liek these much quicker and easier.

Alright so the eqaution is 1.99x=883.56

Solve by isolating x by dividing 1.99 on both sides

You’d get 444=x

$444 is the original price

Answer:

$444

Step-by-step explanation:

1.99 * x = 883.56  [The price has increased by 99%, so you multiply it by 1 + 0.99]

x = 444

Fifty draws are made at random with replacement from the box [ 0 0 1 1 1]. There are 33 ticket 1’s among the draws. The expected
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

- The Expected value for the sum is 30.

- The Observed sum of 50 draws is 33.

- The Chance Error on the 50 draws is 3.

- The Standard Error on 50 draws is 2.191.

Step-by-step explanation:

The box contains [0, 0, 1, 1, 1]

Using probability to predict the expected outcome.

On one draw, the probability of drawing a 0 is (2/5).

And the probability of drawing a 1 is (3/5).

Probability mass function would look like

X | P(X)

0 | 0.40

1 | 0.60

So, expected value on one draw would be

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

xᵢ = each variable

pᵢ = probability of each variable

E(X) = (0×0.40) + (1×0.60) = 0.60.

Standard error on one draw = √[Σ(xᵢ - μ)²/N]

μ = E(X) = 0.60

Σ(xᵢ - μ)² = (0 - 0.60)² + (0 - 0.60)² + (1 - 0.6)² + (1 - 0.6)² + (1 - 0.6)² = 1.20

SE = √(1.2/5) = 0.490

So, for 50 draws (with replacement),

E(50X) = 50E(X) = 50 × 0.60 = 30.

For 50 draws, standard error = √50 × 0.490 = 2.191

The expected value for the sum = 30

The observed valued for the sum = (33×1) + (17×0) = 33

Chance Error = (Observed Outcome) - (Expected Outcome) = 33 - 30 = 3

Standard error gives an idea of how large the chance error would be.

Standard error on 50 draws = 2.191

You have to find X and RT by using SU as the median
Explanation: To find the median you have to list the number from least to greatest. Then the middle number is the median. Once you find the median substitute it for X.

Solve the equation: w^2+7w+12=0
polet [3.4K]
Hi there!
We are given the equation w² + 7w + 12 = 0, and we are told to solve it. Well, we can first take all the factors of 12 -
1 12
2 6
3  4
Now, take the sum of each factor pair -
1, 12 = 13
2, 6 = 8
3, 4 = 7
Find which factor pair adds up to 7, and we can see that 3 and 4 add up to seven, while also having a product of 12. Therefore, since the whole equation has addition signs, we can factor the equation w² + 7w + 12 into (w + 3)(w + 4) = 0. Next, using the Zero Product Property, we can set each term to zero.
w + 3 = 0
w = -3

w + 4 = 0
w = -4
Therefore, the solution to the equation w² + 7w + 12 = 0 is w = -3, -4. Hope this helped and have a great day!
