Answer:
$148.50
Step-by-step explanation
I solved this by using fractions.
x/450=33/100 is how I set up the problem. 33/100 represents 33%, while x/450 represents how much the jacket costs now.
I then went across and multiplied x by 100, and 450 by 33, which gave me 100x=14850. After this I divided each side by 100 to get 148.5, being the cost of the jacket.
Answer:
a) 0.264
b) 48 cubit light-years
Step-by-step explanation:
For calculating a) What is the probability of 3 or more stars in 16 cubic light years?
a)
λ= 1 star/16 cubic light-years
t= measure t in units of 16 cubic light years.
E(Y) = λ t = (1/16)(16) = 1 star
P(X>=2) = 1 - P(X<2)
= 1 - [e^-1 + (e^-1)(1)/1!]
= 0.264
b)
P(X≥1) = 1 - P(X=0)
= 1 - e^-μ
0.95 = 1 - e^-μ
e^-μ = 1 - 0.95
e^-μ = 0.05
ln(e^-μ) = ln(0.05)
-μ = -3
μ = 3
Therefore 3 x 16 = 48 cubic light years of space
