1.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Below. Lets say 1 is 100 dollars sale tax. If 1 is 100 7 would be 7.00

If you have an item that costs 10 dollars and a sales tax of 7% you could do it this way

10 * 7/100 = 0.70 dollars.

The total cost is 10.70 dollars. or 10 dollars and 70 cents.
The best way to do the total however is to multiply the cost by 1.07. You will get the number the customer has to pay.
10 * 1.07 = 10.70
So for any price (p) it would be 1.07*p

Becky has been tracking the population of a town. The population was 5,340 last year and has been increasing by 1.75 times each

Scorpion4ik [409]

the population grows at rate of 1.75
multiply it by this rate every year
As in year 3 it would be 5340(1.75)(1.75)(1.75) the function is 5340(1.75)^x
f(x) = 5340(1.75)^x where 1.75 is the rate of growth
so D is right answer

A computer can be classified as either cutting dash edge or ancient. Suppose that 94% of computers are classified as ancient.

taurus [48]

Answer:

(a) 0.8836

(b) 0.6096

(c) 0.3904

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a computer can be classified as either cutting dash edge or ancient. Suppose that 94% of computers are classified as ancient.

(a) Two computers are chosen at random.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 2 computers

r = number of success = both 2

p = probability of success which in our question is % of computers

that are classified as ancient, i.e; 0.94

LET X = Number of computers that are classified as ancient

So, it means X ~ $Binom(n=2, p=0.94)$

Now, Probability that both computers are ancient is given by = P(X = 2)

P(X = 2) = $\binom{2}{2}\times 0.94^{2} \times (1-0.94)^{2-2}$

= $1 \times 0.94^{2} \times 1$

= 0.8836

(b) Eight computers are chosen at random.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 8 computers

r = number of success = all 8

p = probability of success which in our question is % of computers

that are classified as ancient, i.e; 0.94

LET X = Number of computers that are classified as ancient

So, it means X ~ $Binom(n=8, p=0.94)$

Now, Probability that all eight computers are ancient is given by = P(X = 8)

P(X = 8) = $\binom{8}{8}\times 0.94^{8} \times (1-0.94)^{8-8}$

= $1 \times 0.94^{8} \times 1$

= 0.6096

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 8 computers

r = number of success = at least one

p = probability of success which is now the % of computers

that are classified as cutting dash edge, i.e; p = (1 - 0.94) = 0.06

LET X = Number of computers classified as cutting dash edge

So, it means X ~ $Binom(n=8, p=0.06)$

Now, Probability that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge is given by = P(X $\geq$ 1)

P(X $\geq$ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

= $1 - \binom{8}{0}\times 0.06^{0} \times (1-0.06)^{8-0}$

= $1 - [1 \times 1 \times 0.94^{8}]$

= 1 - $0.94^{8}$ = 0.3904

Here, the probability that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge is 0.3904 or 39.04%.

For any event to be unusual it's probability is very less such that of less than 5%. Since here the probability is 39.04% which is way higher than 5%.

So, it is not unusual that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge.
