At a sale this week, a sofa is being sold for $272. This is a 36% discount from the original price. What is the original price?

Gwar [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A 36% discount means the selling price is (100-36)% = 64% of the original price.

$272 = 64% of x = 0.64·x

x = $272/0.64 = $425

Consider the probability that greater than 96 out of 153 DVDs will work correctly. Assume the probability that a given DVD will
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

0.3594 = 35.94% probability that greater than 96 out of 153 DVDs will work correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 153, p = 0.62

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 153*0.62 = 94.86

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{153*0.62*0.38} = 6

Probability that greater than 96 out of 153 DVDs will work correctly.

97 or more DVDs, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 97. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{97 - 94.86}{6}

Z = 0.36

Z = 0.36 has a pvalue of 0.6406

1 - 0.6406 = 0.3594

0.3594 = 35.94% probability that greater than 96 out of 153 DVDs will work correctly.

Which are the solutions of the quadratic equation? x2 = –5x – 3 –5, 0 StartFraction negative 5 minus StartRoot 13 EndRoot Over 2
boyakko [2]

<u>Given</u>:

The quadratic equation is x^{2}=-5 x-3

We need to determine the solutions of the quadratic equation.

<u>Solution</u>:

Let us solve the equation to determine the value of x.

Adding both sides of the equation by 5x and 3, we get;

x^{2}+5 x+3=0

The solution of the equation can be determined using quadratic formula.

Thus, we get;

x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^{2}-4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3}}{2 \cdot 1}

x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{25-12}}{2 }

x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{13}}{2 }

Thus, the two roots of the equation are x=\frac{-5 + \sqrt{13}}{2 } and x=\frac{-5- \sqrt{13}}{2 }

Hence, the solutions of the equation are x=\frac{-5 + \sqrt{13}}{2 } and x=\frac{-5- \sqrt{13}}{2 }

Factor of 2x4+22x3+60x
horsena [70]

Remark

I don't know exactly what level you are in, but the obvious factors are

y = 2x*(x^3 + 11x + 30)


This gives one more factor somewhere around x = -11.3 . Notice that the minimum is around - 3000 or so. I don't think anyone is going to try and take this any further. My calculator figures out cubics and gives an answer of -11.23. There are two other roots but they are a complex pair.


Answer

factor 1: 2x

factor 2: x^3 + 11x^2 + 30
