John runs a computer software store. Yesterday he counted 125 people who walked by the store, 58 of whom came into the store. Of the 58, only 21 bought something in the store. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.
Answer:
a) 0.46 = 46% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
b) 0.36 = 36% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
c) 0.17 = 17% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
d) 0.64 = 64% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
58 out of 125. So
[tex]p = \frac{58}{125} = 0.46[/tex]
0.46 = 46% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.
(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
58 walked, 21 bought. So
[tex]p = \frac{21}{58} = 0.36[/tex]
0.36 = 36% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.
(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
21 came in and bought out of 125 that walked by. So
[tex]p = \frac{21}{125} = 0.17[/tex]
0.17 = 17% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.
(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.
0.36 probability that a person buys something, so 1 - 0.36 = 0.64 = 64% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.
An automatic machine inserts mixed vegetables into a plastic bag. Past experience revealed that some packages were underweight and some were overweight, but most of them had satisfactory weight.
Weight % of Total Underweight 2.5 Satisfactory 90.0 Overweight 7.5a) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight?b) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory?
Answer:
a) 0.000016 = 0.0016% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight.
b) 0.729 = 72.9% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory
Step-by-step explanation:
The condition of the bags in the sample is independent of the other bags, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
a) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight?
2.5% are overweight, which means that [tex]p = 0.025[/tex]
3 bags means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]
This probability is P(X = 3). So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.025)^{3}.(0.975)^{0} = 0.000016[/tex]
0.000016 = 0.0016% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are overweight.
b) What is the probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory?
90% are satisfactory, which means that [tex]p = 0.9[/tex]
3 bags means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]
This probability is P(X = 3). So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.9)^{3}.(0.1)^{0} = 0.729[/tex]
0.729 = 72.9% probability of selecting and finding that all three bags are satisfactory

solve the inequality x(x+6) >16
please show steps and interval notation!
Answer:
x > 2, x < -8
Interval notation:
( -infinity, -8) U (2, infinity)
Step-by-step explanation:
x(x+6) > 16
distribute x into x+6, multiply
x^2 + 6x > 16
bring 16 to left side, subtract
x^2 + 6x - 16 > 0
factors of -16 that add to +6 is -2 and +8
(x - 2)(x + 8) > 0
solve for x:
x < -8, x > 2
Interval notation:
( -infinity, -8) U (2, infinity)

The variance of the scores on a skill evaluation test is 143,641 with a mean of 1517 points. If 343 tests are sampled, what is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 36 points
Answer:
The probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 36 points=0.9216
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
The variance of the scores on a skill evaluation test=143,641
Mean=1517 points
n=343
We have to find the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 36 points.
Standard deviation,[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{143641}[/tex]
[tex]P(|x-\mu|<36)=P(|\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}|<\frac{36}{\frac{\sqrt{143641}}{\sqrt{343}}})[/tex]
[tex]=P(|Z|<\frac{36}{\sqrt{\frac{143641}{343}}})[/tex]
[tex]=P(|Z|<1.76)[/tex]
[tex]=0.9216[/tex]
Hence, the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 36 points=0.9216
if i need 90 square feet of tile and each piece of tile covers 0.34 square feet, how much do i need in pieces
Answer:
265
Step-by-step explanation:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
265
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the number of tiles needed. Then the area covered by those t tiles will be ...
area = t·0.34 ft²
We want that area to be 90 ft², so we can solve this equation for t:
90 ft² = t·(0.34 ft²)
90 ft²/(0.34 ft²) = t ≈ 264.71
About 265 tiles are needed to cover 90 ft².
Which angle is complementary to angle CFD ?
Answer:
∠DFE
Step-by-step explanation:
Complementary angles are angles that have a sum of 90°. Since there is a box on angle ∠CFB, we can infer that ∠CFE is also 90°. This is because the two are supplementary (equal 180°). Therefore, ∠DFE is the other part of ∠CFD that would complete the 90° pair.

I didn't understand this to be honest I thought I had to find what jm and lm were together and then subtract from the whole total...but ended up being wrong. whats the correct answer?
Answer:
The correct answer is 3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
It gives you the expression for JM and LM, and it asks for JL. Therefore, if you take away LM from JM, you are left with JL. You must subtract 2x-6 from 5x-8.
∴5x-8-(2x-6)
Do not forget to distribute the negative since you are subtracting, so instead of subtracting 6 from 8, you will be adding 6 to 8 because two negatives make a positive.

====================================================
Explanation:
We have an octagon because there are n = 8 sides. The diagram below shows one way to number the sides so you can count them efficiently (without missing any or double counting any).
----------------
Plug n = 8 into the formula below
S = 180(n-2)
S = 180(8-2)
S = 180(6)
S = 1080
The 8 interior angles add up to 1080 degrees.

Which of the following are not polynomials?
Answer:
A, C and D are not polynomials
Step-by-step explanation:
A because the variable has a negative power.
C because the variable is in the denominator
D because the variable has a root.
When a variable has a root, it's power is 1/2 which does not count as an ideal polynomial. You might be wondering then that why E is a polynomial?
E is a polynomial because because the root is not on the variable but on the constant.
B and E are polynomials while A,C and D are not.

SCC U of 1 pt 3 of 1 1.2.11 Assigned Media A rectangle has a width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters. V The length is cm.
Answer:
The length is of 59 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle:
The perimeter of a rectangle with width w and length l is given by:
[tex]P = 2(w + l)[/tex]
Width of 49 centimeters and a perimeter of 216 centimeters:
This means that [tex]w = 49, P = 216[/tex]
The length is cm.
We have to solve the equation for l. So
[tex]P = 2(w + l)[/tex]
[tex]216 = 2(49 + l)[/tex]
[tex]216 = 98 + 2l[/tex]
[tex]2l = 118[/tex]
[tex]l = \frac{118}{2}[/tex]
[tex]l = 59[/tex]
The length is of 59 cm.

Answer:
Scientific notation uses exponential notation. When a number is written in scientific notation, the exponent tells you if the term is a large or a small number. A positive exponent indicates a large number and a negative exponent indicates a small number that is between 0 and 1.
Answer:
Look at the exponitial factor. If it is like 10^2 or like 10^10 the number is very big because it is raised to a very big power. Oppisitely, when it is rasied to a negative number, the number producted will have many decimal places. For example 10^-1 is literaly 0.1.

Determine the conditional relative frequency that a student in the sample is enrolled in painting given that the student is
female.
O A. 19.0%
O B. 48.5%
O C. 9.7%
O D. 19.8%
Answer:
19.0%
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that a student in the sample data is enrolled in painting Given that the student is female is a conditional probability and can be defined as :
Let,
F = Female ; P = painting
P(Painting Given female) = P(P|F) = (PnF) / F
From the table :
(PnF) = 16
F = 84
Hence,
P(P|F) = 16 / 84 = 0.19047 = 0.19047 * 100%
P(P|F) = 19.0%

Casey and Malik can paint a room in 6 hours if they work together. If Malik were to work by himself, it would take him 4 hours longer than it would take Casey working by himself. How long would it take Casey to paint the room by himself if Malik calls in sick? Round to 2 decimal places.
Answer:
It would take 10 hours for Casey to paint the room by himself.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Casey and Malik can paint a room in 6 hours if they work together, and if Malik were to work by himself, it would take him 4 hours longer than it would take Casey working by himself, to determine how long would it take Casey to paint the room by himself if Malik calls in sick the following calculation must be performed:
6 x 2 = 12
12 x 2 = 24
(24 - 4) / 2 = 10
Therefore, it would take 10 hours for Casey to paint the room by himself.
A regular polygon has each interior angle is 156°, what is the number of sides of the polygon? A. 14 C. 16 B. 15 D. 17
Answer:
option B is correct
interior angle of given polygon =156
exterior angle of polygon=180 - 156 =24
as we know that sum of exterior angle of any polygon is 360 degree
so number of sides of regular polygon=360/24=15
Answer:
option B. 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of interior angles of a polygon with n sides = ( n - 2 ) x 180°
Therefore each interior angle,
[tex]\frac{n - 2}{n} \times 180^\circ[/tex]
Given the interior angles = 156°
That is ,
[tex](\frac{n-2}{n}) \times 180 = 156\\\\\frac{n-2}{n} = \frac{156}{180}\\\\1- \frac{2}{n} = \frac{156}{180}\\\\1 - \frac{156}{180} = \frac{2}{n}\\\\\frac{180-156}{180} = \frac{2}{n}\\\\\frac{24}{180} = \frac{2}{n}\\\\24 \times n = 2 \times 180\\\\n = \frac{2 \times 180}{24} =\frac{180}{12} = 15[/tex]
