Answer:

Scenario 1: w/o replacement: P(blue, then red) = (7/12)(3/11) = 7/44

Scenario 2: w/ replacement:  P(blue, then red) = (7/12)(3/12) = 7/48

Ratio of Probability #1 to Probability # 2 = 48/44 = 12/11, i.e. Prob # 1 is 1.0909... times Prob # 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Danielle earns a 8.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. She also earns a base salary
Mariulka [41]

Answer: her sales last week was $4300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent her her sales in a week.

Danielle earns a 8.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. This means that the commission she gets if she makes sales of $x is 0.0825x

She also earns a base salary of $675 per week. The expression for the total earnings for a week in which she made sales of $x would be

0.0825x + 675

if her total earnings for last week were $1,029.75, it means that

0.0825x + 675 = 1029.75

0.0825x = 1029.75 - 675

0.0825x = 1029.75 - 675

0.0825x = 354.75

x = 354.75/0.0825

x = $4300

Find sin theta if cot theta = -2 and cos theta < 0
Katarina [22]

cot(<em>θ</em>) = cos(<em>θ</em>)/sin(<em>θ</em>)

So if both cot(<em>θ</em>) and cos(<em>θ</em>) are negative, that means sin(<em>θ</em>) must be positive.

Recall that

cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1 = csc²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/sin²(<em>θ</em>)

so that

sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1/(cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1)

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1 / √(cot²(<em>θ</em>) + 1)

Plug in cot(<em>θ</em>) = -2 and solve for sin(<em>θ</em>) :

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1 / √((-2)² + 1)

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 1/√(5)

A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books, which originally sell for b dollars, by 52%.
mafiozo [28]

Complete question :

A bookstore manager marks down the price of older hardcover books, which originally sell for b dollars, by 52%.

a. Write the markdown as a decimal. b. Write an expression for the sale price of the hardcover book.

Answer:

0.52 ; 0.52b

Step-by-step explanation:

The markdown percentage = 52%

Expresaing markdown as a decimal :

52% = 52 / 100 = 0.52

Expression for the sale price of hardcover book:

Original price = b

Price was marked down by 0.52

Hence, sales price becomes ;

Original price * markdown

b * 0.52

0.52b

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

\boxed{\pink{\sf \leadsto Yes \ there \ is \ a \ solution \ of \ the \ given \ inequality .}}

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

A inequality is given to us and we need to convert it into standard form and see whether if it has a solution . So let's solve the inequality.

The inequality given to us is :-

\bf\implies |2y + 3 | - 1 \leq 0 \\\\\bf\implies |2y+3|\leq 1 \\\\\bf\implies (|2y+3|)^2 \leq 1^2  \\\\\bf\implies (2y+3)^2 \leq 1  \\\\\bf\implies (2y)^2+3^2+2(2y)(3) \leq 1  \\\\\bf\implies 4y^2+9+12y - 1 \leq 0  \\\\\bf\implies 4y^2+12y+8 \leq 0 \\\\\bf\implies 4( y^2 + 3y + 2 ) \leq 0  \\\\\bf\implies y^2+3y +2 \leq 0 \:\:\bigg\lgroup \purple{\bf Standard \ form \ of \ inequality }\bigg\rgroup   \\\\\bf\implies y^2y+2y+y+2 \leq 0  \\\\\bf\implies y(y+2)+1(y+2)\leq 0  \\\\\bf\implies ( y+2)(y+1)\leq 0  \\\\\bf\implies \boxed{\red{\bf y \leq (-2) , (-1) }}

Let's plot a graph to see its interval . Graph attached in attachment .

Now we can see that the Interval notation of would be ,

\boxed{\boxed{\orange \tt \purple{\leadsto}y \in [-2,-1] }}

<h3><u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>standa</u><u>rd</u><u> </u><u>form</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>inequa</u><u>lity</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>y²</u><u>+</u><u>3y</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>≤</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>set</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>ineq</u><u>uality</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>[</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>]</u><u> </u><u>.</u></h3>
