4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For one throw the probability of a miss is 1/2 since there are just two outcomes

Similarly for one throw the probability of a score is 1/2 since there are two outcomes.

Therefore for 8 trials we expect at least for different trials starting from 1

8 miss 0 score

7 miss 1 score

6 miss 2 score

5 miss 3 score

4 miss 4 score

3 miss 5 score

2 miss 6 score

1 miss 7 score

0 miss 8 score

So the number of possible outcomes is 9

And this define by what we call the binomial probability and is defined as

The school band director has a budget $4,428.00 to spend on the band room, instruments, music, and uniforms. There are four sect

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The amount of money left for each section to spend from the budget in additional costs if they follow exact of the options is

Option 1 - $497.5

Option 2 - $494.5

Option 3 - $500.5

The image to show the amounts to match to isn't attagged to the question, but these are the answers and they should be matched accordingly.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first calculate the amount left per section after following each of the options.

Budget $4,428.00

Option 1.

Repair and replace uniforms at $564.00 per section and spend $182.00 on music.

There are 4 sections, hence, total amount spent in this option:

4(564) + 182 = $2438

Amount of money left from the budget after spending = 4428 - 2438 = $1990

Amount left per section = (1990/4) = $497.5

Option 2

Repair and replace uniforms at $593.00 per section and spend $78.00 on music.

There are 4 sections, hence, total amount spent in this option:

4(593) + 78 = $2450

Amount of money left from the budget after spending = 4428 - 2450 = $1978

Amount left per section = (1978/4) = $494.5

Option 3

Repair uniforms at $287.00 per section, spend $856.00 for improving the acoustics in the band room, and spend $422.00 on music and repairing instruments.

There are 4 sections, hence, total amount spent in this option:

4(287) + 856 + 422 = $2426

Amount of money left from the budget after spending = 4428 - 2426 = $2002

Amount left per section = (2002/4) = $500.5

Is 1.25 x 10 equivalent to 1.25^10?

Lady_Fox [76]

No.
1.25^10 means 1.25 times 1.25 times 1.25... repeat this ten times.
1.25 x 10 is just multiplying by ten
