Samira buys a car the car loses 23% of its value in the first year. at the end of the first year her car is worth 6575.80 dollar

Andreyy89

Answer: Samira paid $8540 for her car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Amount paid by Samira for her car.

Given: Depreciation rate = 23%

Worth of car after one year = $ 6575.80

As per given,

x - 23 % of x = 6575.80

⇒ x - 0.23x = 6575.80

⇒ 0.77x= 6575.80

⇒ x= $8540 [Divide both sides by 0.77]

Hence, Samira paid $8540 for her car.

In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts. Find the probability t

torisob [31]

Answer:

9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each theft, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the need to buy drugs is the reason of the theft, or it is not. Each theft is independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts.

This means that $p = 0.7$

Find the probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.0972$

9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

Answer:

The area and the perimeter of the picture are:

Area = 160 cm^2
Perimeter = 67.31 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of that figure, you can find the area how if it was a rectangle and next subtract the area of the triangle in the upper part. The area of a rectangle could be found by the next formula:

Area of a rectangle = base * height

As you can see in the picture, the base is 16 cm and the height is 12 cm, then we replace in the formula:

Area of a rectangle = 16 cm * 12 cm
Area of a rectangle = 192 cm^2

Now, we calculate the area of the triangle to subtract to the area we found and obtain the real area, the formula to obtain the area of a triangle is:

Area of a triangle = (base * height) / 2

The height of the triangle is 8 cm, and the base is 8 cm too, because you subtract to the base of the rectangle (16 cm) the measurements in the upper part (16 - 4 - 4 = 8), Now, we replace in the formula:

Area of a triangle = (8 cm * 8 cm) / 2
Area of a triangle = (64 cm^2) / 2
Area of a triangle = 32 cm^2

We subtract to the found area:

Area of the picture = 192 cm^2 - 32 cm^2
Area of the picture = 160 cm^2

To find the perimeter, you must add all the sides of the picture, but, as you can see, there is a side that doesn't have the measurent, this is the hypotenuse of the triangle used before, but how we know the other sides, we can use Pythagorean theorem:
