Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the regular price r of the ingredients before the discount, we have to consider that $28 represents 70% of the regular price as this amount has a 30% discount and with that, find the price that represents 100%:

$28 → 70%

r ← 100%

r=($28*100%)/70%= $40

The regular price r of the ingredients before the discount is $40.

A nature museum has 2008 specimens of early birds, some with 222 wings and some with 444 wings. The specimens have a total of 40

ludmilkaskok [199]

Let's assume

number of birds with 2 wings is x

number of birds with 4 wings is y

A nature museum has 2008 specimens of early birds

so,

$x+y=2008$

Total of wings of 2 wings bird =2x

Total of wings of 4 wings bird =4y

The specimens have a total of 4384 wings

so, we get

$2x+4y=4384$

we can divide both sides by 2

$x+2y=2192$

so, we get system of equations as

$x+y=2008$

$x+2y=2192$

we can solve for x and y

We can subtract both equations

$2008-y+2y=2192$

$y=184$

$x=2008-184$

$x=1824$

$y=184,\:x=1824$

so,

number of birds with 2 wings is 1824

number of birds with 4 wings is 184.............Answer

Accuracy in taking orders at a drive-through window is important for fast-food chains. Periodically, QSR Magazine publishes "The

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a) 0.7412 = 74.12% probability that all the three orders will be filled correctly.

b) 0.0009 = 0.09% probability that none of the three will be filled correctly

c) 0.0245 = 2.45% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly.

d) 0.9991 = 99.91% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly

e) 0.0082 = 0.82% probability that only your order will be filled correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each order, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is filled correctly, or it is not. Orders are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The percentage of orders filled correctly at Burger King was approximately 90.5%.

This means that $p = 0.905$

You and 2 friends:

So 3 people in total, which means that $n = 3$

a. What is the probability that all the three orders will be filled correctly?

This is P(X = 3).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.905)^{3}.(0.095)^{0} = 0.7412$

0.7412 = 74.12% probability that all the three orders will be filled correctly.

b. What is the probability that none of the three will be filled correctly?

This is P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.905)^{0}.(0.095)^{3} = 0.0009$

0.0009 = 0.09% probability that none of the three will be filled correctly.

c. What is the probability that one of the three will be filled correctly?

This is P(X = 1).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{3,1}.(0.905)^{1}.(0.095)^{2} = 0.0245$

0.0245 = 2.45% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly.

d. What is the probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly?

This is

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

With what we found in b:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0009 = 0.9991$

0.9991 = 99.91% probability that at least one of the three will be filled correctly.

e. What is the probability that only your order will be filled correctly?

Yours correctly with 90.5% probability, the other 2 wrong, each with 9.5% probability. So

$p = 0.905*0.095*0.095 = 0.0082$

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that only your order will be filled correctly

How do you invert and multiply to divide 2/3÷4

Ira Lisetskai [31]

2/3 ÷ 4

2/3 ÷ 4/1

We invert the 4/1 to 1/4 and multiply out.

2/3 × 1/4

= 1/3 × 1/2 2 into 4 is 2.

= 1/(3 × 2)

= 1/6

Hope this helps.
