P(for men | botanic) = 5/18

Answer:

0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

P(for men)=0.55

P(Botanic scent)=0.18

P(for men and botanic )=0.05

We have to find the probability that a deodorant is for men given that it has a botanic scent.

i.eP(For men/Botanic scent)

Conditional probability: $P(A/B)=\frac{P(A\cup B)}{P(B)}$

Using the formula

P((For men/Botanic scent)= $\frac{P(For\;men\;and\;botanic)}{P(botanic\;scent)}$

P(For men/Botanic scent)= $\frac{0.05}{0.18}$

P(For men/Botanic scent)=0.28

A salesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where he has two options for being paid. Option A is an hourly wage of $28. Opti

irina [24]

Answer:

$9500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Option A: Hourly wage is $19 and the salesperson works 40 hours per week. So, he will earn in a week= 19 X 40 = $760

Now, according to option b, he will get 8% commission on weekly sales.

Let. x = the amount of weekly sales.

To earn the same amount of option A, he will have to equal the 8% of x to $760

So, 8x/100= 760

Or, 8x= 76000

Or, x= 76000/8= 9,500

the salesman needs to make a weekly sales of $9,500 to earn the same amount with two options.

The weights of adobe bricks used for construction are normally distributed with a mean of 3 pounds and a standard deviation of 0

dedylja [7]

Answer: a) 0.8413, b) 0.9987.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean = 3 pounds

Standard deviation = 0.25 pounds

n = 28 bricks

So, (a) What is the probability that all the bricks in the sample exceed 2.75 pounds?

$P(X>2.75)\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{2.75-3}{0.25}\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{-0.25}{0.25})\\\\=P(z>-1)\\\\=0.8413$

b) What is the probability that the heaviest brick in the sample exceeds 3.75 pounds?

$P(X>3.75)\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{3.75-3}{0.25})\\\\=P(z>\dfrac{0.75}{0.25})\\\\=P(z>3)\\\\=0.9987$

Hence, a) 0.8413, b) 0.9987.

Isaiah and Wanda both went bowling last weekend, but not together. Isaiah went during open bowling time, paying $16 for shoe ren

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours bowled by Isaiah and Wanda be X

Isaiah spent 16 dollars on shoe rental and 2X on bowling

Wanda spent 13 dollars on shoe rental and 5X on bowling

Since they spent the same amount, set up an equation

16+2X=13+5X

subtract 2X on either side, then subtract 13 from either side we get

3X=3

divide both sides by 3

X=1
