MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER Jack has decided to advertise the sale of his car by placing flyers in the student union and the dining hall of the college. He estimates that there is a probability of 0.4 that a potential buyer will read the advertisement and that, if it is read, the probability that the reader will buy his car will be 0.1. Using these estimates, find the probability that a potential buyer will read the ad and will buy Jack's car.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that a potential buyer will read the advert and will buy Jack's car is 0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate 1:  There's a 0.4 probability that a potential buyer will read the advert.

Estimate 2:  There's a 0.1 probability that whoever reads the advert will buy his car.

- As you can see, the probability of success of this event decreases; from the point of Jack placing an advert, to the point of someone purchasing his car.

- That someone reads the advert does not mean that he or she would be interested in or capable of purchasing the car.

- That someone has the capacity to buy the car (potential buyer) does not mean they'll eventually buy it.

- So altogether, there is a low probability of each reader purchasing the car, and that's 0.1

In the calculation of probability, "and" represents multiplication. Hence,

0.4 × 0.1  = 0.04

What is the decimal multiplier to decrease by 2.7%?

Answers

Multiplying by 1 keeps it the same. A number greater than 1 would be an increase and a number below 1 would be a decrease.

The decrease is 2.7% which is written as 0.027 as a decimal.

Subtract that from 1:

1 - 0.027 = 0.973

The multiplier would be 0.973

At Harry’s discount handware everything is sold for 20% less than the price marked .if Harry buys tool kits for $80 what price should he mark them of he wants to make 20% profit on his cost

Answers

Answer is D-$120

20% of $80=16
so, the selling price=80+16=$96
Let, by the mark price of 20% profit=x
so, x-(20% of x)=96
or, x-x/5=96
or, x= (96*5)/4

Mr.Farrar spent a total of $43.87 after tax on new clothes at a clothing store. He brought 1 pair of sandals for $8.02 t-shirts fo $9.49 each and 1 pair of jeans. The tax on the purchase was $2.87 how much did Mr.Farrar pay for the pair of jeans?

Answers

Answer:

43.87 - 8 = 35.87  (sandals)

9.49 + 9.49 = 18.98 ( for two t-shirts)

35.87 - 18.98 = 16.89 (t-shirts)

16.89 - 2.87 = 14.02 (taxes)

Step-by-step explanation:

Spencer randomly samples the out-of-state tuition and fees for 25 public universities and found a mean of $21,032 with a standard deviation of $2,494. Using the alternative hypothesis that µ < $21,706, Spencer found a z test statistic of -1.35.

Given the data provided, what is the p-value of the z-test statistic?

Answers

Answer: 0.0885

Step-by-step explanation:

To find :  p-value of the z-test statistic.

p-value of the z-statistic depends on the alternative hypothesis.

Here , Alternative hypothesis :  µ < $21,706 , which is a left tailed hypothesis.

So we will check the area to the left side of the z-statistic.

Since z= -1.35

P(Z<z) =P(Z<-1.35)= 1- P(Z<1.35)

= 1- 0.9115

= 0.0885

Hence, the required p-value = 0.0885

0.0885

Step-by-step explanation:

the basement of a building is 40 feet below ground level . the elevator rises of 5 feet per second . you enter the elevator in the basement write an equation that represents the height y (in feet) of the elevator

Answers

Answer:

y=5x-40

Step-by-step explanation:

It says 5 feet per second, so you know that is the rate/speed. The rate is always going to be x. The building starts in the basement which is  -40 because the basement is under ground level, so it would be less then 0 (ground level) and y is the final height you are at.

Solve the following problems:
Find x , y PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer:

x=5/4, y=7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a similar triangles problem.

The first triangle (the smaller one) has the lengths 5, 8 and 7.

The second triangle (the lager one) has the lengths 5+x, 10, and 7+y

Let's first solve for x

In any similar triangles problem, you can make two ratios (all the ratios of the sides are the same)

since we don't know the measures for x and y first, we can use the ratio of the parallel lines (the bases) as the first ratio (8/10)

For the second ratio, it's smaller/bigger, so it'll be 5/(x+5)

here's the proportion

5/(x+5)=8/10

But before we multiply, we can simplify 8/10 to 4/5

so

5/(x+5)=4/5

Cross multiply

25=4x+20

5=4x

5/4=x

For y, we can do a similar process

We can use 8/10 or 4/5 again

and the ratio of the sides for y will be 7/(y+7)

7/(y+7)=4/5

35=4y+28

7=4y

7/4=y

Hope this helps!

2. A spider can walk at a certain speed and run at
another speed. If she walks for 10 seconds and runs for 9
seconds, she travels 85m. If she walks for 30 seconds and
runs for 2 seconds, she travels 130m. Find her speeds of
walking and running.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the ratio of distance covered to the time taken. Speed is given by the formula:

speed = distance / time.

Let us assume the spider walking speed is x and its running speed is y.

If the spider walks for 10 seconds and runs for 9  seconds, she travels 85m. distance = speed * time, hence:

Total distance = distance covered walking + distance covered running

10x + 9y = 85     (1)

Also if she walks for 30 seconds and  runs for 2 seconds, she travels 130m. Hence:

30x + 2y = 130   (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously by mutiplying equation 1 by 3 and subtracting equation 2 from the result:

25y = 125

y =5 m/s

Put  y = 5 in eqn. 2

30x + 2(5) = 130

30x = 120

x = 4 m/s

The spider walks at 4 m/s and runs at 5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a triangle always add up to 180° so you will add the angles together and set them equal to 180° to solve for x. You will find that x should be equal to 22. Plug 22 into each equation to find the angle measure.

What is the value of p if the expression 4(n+7) is equivalent to (n+p)4?

Answers

Answer:

p = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

set the expressions = to each other

4(n+7) = 4(n+p)

distribute the 4 on both sides(multiplying the numbers on the inside)

4n+28 = 4n+4p

subtract the 4n from the right and left

28 = 4p

divide by 4

M is independent because it can change without depending on others factors. You can do 1 minute or 60 minutes but it won’t matter.
C is dependent. Variable C depends on variable M. If variable M increases, so does C. Since C is the calories burned, the amount of calories burned depends on how long you’ve exercised. Therefore
