Answer:

Option A, $\$607$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Deborah bought a computer for $25\%$ off the list price.

The list price is $\$2,428$ .

To find: The amount Deborah spent on the computer.

Solution: We have,

List price of the computer $=\$2,428$ .

Deborah bought the computer for $25\%$ off the list price.

The amount Deborah spent on the computer $=25\% \times 2,428$

$=\frac{25}{100}\times2428=\frac{2428}{4} =\$ 607$ .

So, Deborah spent $\$607$ on the computer.

Hence, option A is correct.

The Shirts For All shop keeps track of the total number of white and tie-dye t-shirts it sells. In one week, 500 shirts were sol

bagirrra123 [75]

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of white shirt=$15

Cost of tie-dye shirt = $20

Total number of shirts= 500

Total number of white shirts= 200

Cost of white shirts = 200×15=$ 3000

Total number of tie-dye shirts = 300

Cost of tie-dye shirts = 300×20= $6000

Verification:

3000+6000=$9000 proved!

The angle θ 1 is located in Quadrant IV, and cos ⁡ ( θ 1 ) = 9/ 19 , theta, start subscript, 1, end subscript, right parenthesis

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$sin\theta_1 = - \frac{2\sqrt{70}}{19}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that $\theta_1$ is in <em>fourth</em> quadrant.

$cos\theta_1$ is always positive in 4th quadrant and

$sin\theta_1$ is always negative in 4th quadrant.

Also, we know the following identity about $sin\theta$ and $cos\theta$ :

$sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1$

Using \theta_1 in place of \theta:

$sin^2\theta_1 + cos^2\theta_1 = 1$

We are given that $cos\theta_1 = \frac{9}{19}$

$\Rightarrow sin^2\theta_1 + \dfrac{9^2}{19^2} = 1\\\Rightarrow sin^2\theta_1 = 1 - \dfrac{81}{361}\\\Rightarrow sin^2\theta_1 = \dfrac{361-81}{361}\\\Rightarrow sin^2\theta_1 = \dfrac{280}{361}\\\Rightarrow sin\theta_1 = \sqrt{\dfrac{280}{361}}\\\Rightarrow sin\theta_1 = +\dfrac{2\sqrt{70}}{19}, -\dfrac{2\sqrt{70}}{19}$

$\theta_1$ is in <em>4th quadrant </em>so $sin\theta_1$ is negative.

So, value of $sin\theta_1 = - \frac{2\sqrt{70}}{19}$

Suppose on a certain planet that a rare substance known as Raritanium can be found in some of the rocks. A raritanium-detector i

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

0.967 = 96.7% probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Positive reading

Event B: Contains raritanium

Probability of a positive reading:

98% of 13%(positive when there is raritanium).

0.5% of 100-13 = 87%(false positive, positive when there is no raritanium). So

$P(A) = 0.98*0.13 + 0.005*0.87 = 0.13175$

Positive when there is raritanium:

98% of 13%

$P(A) = 0.98*0.13 = 0.1274$

What is the probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium?

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1274}{0.13175} = 0.967$

0.967 = 96.7% probability the rock sample actually contains raritanium

ladessa [460]

I'm taking you at your word. I think these sentences are true
because you said them:

-- Samuel has read 3/6 of his assignment.

-- Judy has read 4/8 0f her assingment.

-- Their assignments were the same size.
