Answer:

Pr = 0.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the dataset with the following frequency table

\begin{array}{cc}{Item} & {Frequency} & {Fiction\ Book} &{11} & {Non\ Fiction\ Book} & {5}  & {DVD} & {3} & {Audiobook} & {1}  \ \end{array}

Required

Probability that the next checkout will be fiction

From the above frequency table, we have:

Fiction\ Book = 11

n =20 --- total

So, the probability that the next checkout item is a fiction book is:

Pr = \frac{Fiction\ Book}{n}

Pr = \frac{11}{20}

Pr = 0.55

Theo earns a base salary plus commission. At the end of September, he was paid $3,835.25 based on his monthly sales of $12,850.
hodyreva [135]

Theo's base salary  using a simultaneous equation approach is $2,996.22 .

In order to determine the base salary of Theo, we can express the two earnings and sales amounts using simultaneous equation, that we would solve to arrive at the base salary

Bear in mind that total earnings are determined as base salary plus commission

Let X be the base salary

Let R be the rate of commission

commission =sales*rate of commission

When earnings were $3,835.25 and sales is $12,850, we have the below equation:

X+(12,850*R)=3,835.25

X+12850R=3,835.25  .................... equation (1)

When earnings were $3,641 and sales is $9,875, we have the below equation:

X+(9,875*R)=3641

X+9875R=3641 .........................  equation (2)

subtract equation 2 from 1

2975R=194.25

R=194.25/2975

R=commission rate=6.52941176470588%

substitute for R in equation 1 to arrive at X(base salary)

X+(12850*6.52941176470588%)=3,835.25

X=3,835.25-(12850*6.52941176470588%)

X=base salary=$2,996.22
