Step-by-step explanation:

A simple event is one that can only happen in one way - in other words, it has a single outcome. If we consider our previous example of tossing a coin: we get one outcome that is a head or a tail. A compound event is more complex than a simple event, as it involves the probability of more than one outcome.

The current population of a town is 10,000 and its growth in years can be represented by P(t) = 10,000(0.2)^t, where t is the ti

Answer:

1) 20%

2) Choice a.

Step-by-step explanation:

$P(t)=10000(0.2)^t$

1) $P(0)$ is the population initially.

$P(1)$ is the population after a year.

$\frac{P(1)}{P(0)}$ represents the population increase factor.

So let's evaluate that fraction:

$\frac{P(1)}{P(0)}$

$\frac{10000(0.2)^1}{10000(0.2)^0}$

$\frac{0.2^1}{0.2^0}=\frac{0.2}{1}=0.2$

0.2=20%

2) Let's figure out the population growth in terms of months instead of years.

$P(t)=10000(0.2)^{t}$

We want t to represent months.

A full year is 12 months, in a full year we have that $P(1)=10000(0.2)^1=10000(0.2)=2000$

So we want a new P such that $P(12)=2000$ since 12 months equals a year.

Let's look at the functions given to see which gives us this:

a) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12}=2000 \text{approximately}$

b) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12(12)}=0 \text{ approximately}$

c) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{\frac{1}{12}}=9889 \text{approximately}$

d) $P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12+12}=400 \text{approximately}$

So a is the function we want.

Also another way to look at this:

$P(t)=10000(.2)^t$ where $t$ is in years.

$P(t)=10000(.2^\frac{1}{12})^t$ where $t$ is in months.

And $.2^\frac{1}{12}=0.874485 \text{approximately}$

Ella purchased a game that was on sale for 12% off. The sales tax in her county is 6%. Let y represent the original price of the

klio [65]

Answer:

The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game is

1.06(0.88 y) ⇒ (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the price of an item is discounted, that mean its new price will be less its initial price

The taxes on item, makes its new price greater than the initial price because tax is add

Let us solve the problem

∵ Ella purchased a game that was on sale for 12% off

→ That means the new price will (100% - 12%) of the initial price

∵ y represented the initial price of the game

→ Multiply y by (100% - 12%) to get the new price

∴ The new price = y (100% - 12%)

∴ The new price = y (88%)

→ Change 88% to normal number by divide it by 100

∴ The new price = y ( $\frac{88}{100}$ )

∴ The new price = 0.88 y

∵ The sales tax in her county is 6%

→ That means the final cost will be (100% + 6%) of 0.88 y

∴ The final cost = (100% + 6%) × (0.88 y)

∴ The final cost = 106% × (0.88 y)

→ Change 106% to normal number by divide it by 100

∴ The final cost = $\frac{106}{100}$ × (0.88 y)

∴ The final cost = 1.06(0.88 y)

The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game is 1.06(0.88 y)
