Answer:

Both Oscar and Kim will have enough to purchase the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oscar takes 30% of the normal price and subtracts it from the normal price. Out of 100% price he takes 30% so the result is: 100-30%= 70% of the normal price. Oscar's first step has the same result as Kim.

Oscar takes 10% of the discounted price (70%) and adds it back. The price will become 70% + 10%*70%= 77% of original price. Kim multiplies the discounted price with 110%, so the price will be: 70% * 110%= 77%. Both also give the same result.

The final price is 77% of the original, it will be: $28.50* 77%= $21.945

Oscar :

28.50 - 0.30(28.50) = 28.50 - 8.55 = 19.95

0.10(19.95) + 19.95 = 2 + 19.95 = 21.95

Kim :

0.7(28.50) = 19.95

1.10(19.95) = 21.95

Answer:

Both Oscar and Kim got the same amount and they both had enough money to buy the book.

Given that,

Oscar and Kim have money to spend at a book fair = $22

Discount for all the students = 30% = 0.30

They both want to purchase a copy of the same book, which normally sells for $28.50 plus 10% sales tax.

Book normally sells for = $ 28.50 + 10% sales tax

According to the question,

Oscar takes 30% of $28.50 and subtracts that amount from the normal price. He takes 10% of the discounted selling price and adds it back to find the purchase amount.

28.50 - 0.30(28.50) = 28.50 - 8.55 = 19.95

0.10(19.95) + 19.95 = 2 + 19.95 = $21.95

Kim takes 70% = 0.7 of the normal purchase price and then computes 110% = 1.10 of the reduced price.

0.7(28.50) = 19.95

1.10(19.95) = $21.95

Hence, Both Oscar and Kim got the same amount and they both had enough money to buy the book.

200$ because if you do 2000dovided by 10 then it will equal=200 so loook 200x10=2000 so 1/10=200

A recent survey based on a random sample of n=470 voters, predicted that independent candidate for the mayoral election will get

julsineya [31]

I have an expression

$\sigma = \sqrt{p(1-p)/n}$

floating around in my head; let's see if it makes sense.

The variance of binary valued random variable b that comes up 1 with probability p (so has mean p) is

$E( (b-p)^2 ) = (-p)^2(1-p) + (1-p)^2p = p(1-p)$

That's for an individual sample. For the observed average we divide by n, and for the standard deviation we take the square root:

$\sigma = \sqrt{p(1-p)/n}$

Plugging in the numbers,

$\sigma = \sqrt{.24(1-.24)/490} = 0.019 = 1.9\%$

One standard deviation of the average is almost 2% so a 27% outcome was 3/1.9 = 1.6 standard deviations from the mean, corresponding to a two sided probability of a bit bigger than 10% of happening by chance.

So this is borderline suspect; most surveys will include a two sigma margin of error, say plus or minus 4 percent here, and the results were within those bounds.
