Find the sale price of the item. Round to two decimal places when

Mathematics

Wittaler [7]3 years ago

First, determine what 15% of $40 is.

Convert 15% to a decimal: 0.15

Then multiply this decimal by $40: 0.15 x 40 = 6

So the discount is $6.

We subtract the discount from original price to get sale price.

40-6= 34

So the item will cost $34.

Which are the x-intercept and y-intercept of the line drawn through the points A and B?

ladessa [460]

First you have to figure out what the equation of the line is. Let's use the slope formula to find the slope, and then one of the points to find the y-intercept. We'll put the line's equation in y=mx+b form.

$slope = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} } \\ slope = m \\ m = \frac{5 - 1}{-7 - 1} \\ m = \frac{4}{-8} \\ m = - \frac{1}{2}$

Now, we'll use that slope in y=mx+b form with one of the coordinates in order to find what b (which is also the y-intercept) equals
$y = - \frac{1}{2}x + b \\ 1 = 1(- \frac{1}{2}) + b \\ 1 = - \frac{1}{2} + b \\ 1 \frac{1}{2} = b$

therefore your y-intercept is equal to 1.5. In order to find the x-intercept we'll take our new equation $y = - \frac{1}{2} + 1 \frac{1}{2}$ and make y = 0, because the line intersects with the x-axis when y is equal to zero.

$y = - \frac{1}{2}x + 1 \frac{1}{2} \\ 0 = - \frac{1}{2}x + 1 \frac{1}{2} \\ -1 \frac{1}{2} = - \frac{1}{2}x \\ x = 3$

therefore, your x-intercept is 3 and your y-intercept is 1.5

Motorola used the normal distribution to determine the probability of defects and the number of defects expected in a production

Lena [83]

The question supplied is incomplete :

The x parameters aren't given ; "Units with weights less than or greater than ounces will be classified as defects"

Assume the unit weights Given are ;

Units with weights less than 10.8 or greater than 11.2 ounces will be classified as defects

Just follow the procedure in the solution for any value of unit weight interval given.

Answer:

0.3173

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean weight, m = 11 ounces

Standard deviation, s = 0.2 ounces

Find the Zscore for each unit weight :

Z = (x - mean) / standard deviation

P(x < 10.8) :

Z = (10.8 - 11) / 0.2 = - 1

P(Z < - 1) = 0.15866

P(x > 11.2) :

Z = (11.2 - 11) / 0.2 = 1

P(Z > 1) = 0.84134

P(x < 11.2) - P(x < 10.8) = 1 - (P(Z < 1) - P(Z < - 1)) = 1 - 1 - (0.84134 - 0.15866) = 1 - 0.68268 = 0.31732

Hence, Probability of a defect is 0.3173

A scale on a blue print drawing of a house shows that 6 centimeters represents 3 meters. What number of centimeters on the blue

Tema [17]

Answer:

54 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Measures are proportional on a scale drawing:

drawing measure : actual measure = 6 cm : 3 m = x : 27 m

The value on the right of the x ratio, 27, is 9 times 3, so the value of x will be 9 times 6 cm.

54 cm on the blueprint represents an actual distance of 27 meters.
