Which of the following expressions is correctly written in scientific notation?

Visa Card USA studied how frequently young consumers, ages 18 to 24, use plastic (debit and credit) cards in making purchases (A

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Given the consumer is 18 to 24 years old, there is 37% probability that he uses a plastic card.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem, we have:

What is the probability of the consumer using a plastic card, given that the consumer is 18 to 24 years old.

The problem states that the probability that a consumer uses a plastic card when making a purchase is .37, so $P(B) = 0.37$

P(A/B) is the probability that the consumer being 18 to 24 years old, given that he uses a plastic card. The problem states that this probability is .19. So $P(A/B) = 0.19$

P(A) is the probability that the consumer is 18 to 24 years old. There is a .81 probability that the consumer is more than 24 years old. So there is a .19 probability that he is 18 to 24 years old. So $P(A) = 0.19$

The probability is

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.37*0.19}{0.19} = 0.37$

Given the consumer is 18 to 24 years old, there is 37% probability that he uses a plastic card.

Robin says that polynomials are closed under division. Brad adamantly disagrees. Who is correct? Justify your answer.

serious [3.7K]

Brad is correct.

Polynomials do not include negative exponents; this means there can be no variables in the denominator. If two polynomials do not divide evenly, the remainder is written as a fraction with the divisor (which can include a variable) in the denominator. This is not a polynomial.

A. Original Price: $16.20

Tom [10]

Answer:

The final price is $ 22.68 And Proportional constant is 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Original price = $ 16.20

The rate of increase = 40%

Let The final price = x

Now,

Final price after increase = initial price × ( 1 + $\frac{\textrm Rate}{100}$

Or. Final price after increase = $ 16.20 × ( 1 + $\frac{\textrm 40}{100}$

Or, Final price after increase = $ 16.20 × ( 1.4 )

∴ Final price after increase = $ 22.68

Now , Proportional constant = $\frac{22.68}{16.20}$

I.e Proportional constant = 1.4

Hence The final price is $ 22.68 And Proportional constant is 1.4 Answer

The admission fee at an amusement park is 20$ for children and 35$ adults. On a certain, day 264 people entered the park, and th

shtirl [24]

Answer:

100 Adults and 164 Children

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we will need to write two equations to solve for the two unknowns. Firstly, we know that tickets are 20 for children and 35 for adults, and that the total price was 6780. We can write an expression to represent this. 6780 is the total price, this also means it is the price of all the adults + the price of all the children. The total price of the adults tickets is the price of each ticket multiplied by the number of adults, so the total price of adult tickets can be represented by: 35A, 35 being the ticket price per adult, and A being the number of adults. Similarly the total children's price can be expressed as such: 20C, 20 being the price per child, and C being the number of children. Since we know that these two values total to 6780, we can now form an equation:

35A (total adult price) + 20C (total children price) = 6780

35A+20C=6780

Now we need another expression so we can substitute for one of the values. The other piece of information we are given, is that a total of 264 people entered the park. This means that the total number of adults + the total number of children = 264. Since we already have variables for the numbers of adults and children we now have our second equation:

A (number of adults) + C (number of children) = 264

A+C=264

Now we can use this second equation to substitute for one of the values in the first equation. Let's substitute for children:

If we rearrange the second expression we will get:

A+C-A=264-A

C=264-A

So now we substitute this expression into our first formula:

35A+20C=6780

C=264-A

35A+20(264-A)=6780

Now since we only have one unknown, we can simplify, expand and solve!

35A+20*264-20*A=6780

35A+5280-20A=6780

35A-20A+5280-5280=6780-5280

15A=1500

15A/15=1500/15

A= 100

A total of 100 adults were admitted.

Now we can use the number of adults to find the number of children using our second formula:

C=264-A

C=264-100

C=164

And there we are! A total of 100 adults and 164 children were admitted.

Hope this helped!

The sum of two numbers is 8. Is it possible for the difference of the two numbers to also be 8? Why or why not

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: yes

Step-by-step explanation: because you would get the same number cause anything plus or even divided by 0 then 8 each time you try ex: 8 + 0 = 8

8 - 0 = 8
