A customer buys a different book that has an original selling price of $38. The book is discounted 25%. The customer must pay a 6% sales tax on the discounted price of the book.
What is the total amount, in dollars, the customer pays for the discounted book? Explain and SHOW how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$30.21

Step-by-step explanation:

100% -25%= 75%

Discounted price of the book

= 75% ×$38

= $28.50

Since the customer must pay an additional 6% of the discounted price,

percentage of discounted price paid

= 100% +6%

= 106%

Total amount paid

= 106% × $28.50

= $30.21

_________________________________

Alternative working:

Original selling price= $38

Since the book is discounted 25%,

100% ----- $38

1% ----- $0.38

75% ----- 75 ×$0.38= $28.50

Since the sales tax is based on the discounted price, we let the discounted price be 100%.

100% ----- $28.50

1% ----- $0.285

106% ----- 106 ×$0.285= $30.21

∴ The total amount the customer pays for the discounted book is $30.21.

The sample space,S,of a coin being tossed three times is shown below, where H and T denote the coin landing on heads and tails respectively.​

Answers

Answer: Bottom left corner

=======================================================

Explanation:

There are only four possible outcomes here

A) we get all tails, ie getting 0 headsB) we get exactly one head (the rest tails)C) we get exactly 2 headsD) we get all three heads

Based on this so far, the answer is either the table in the bottom left corner or in the top right corner. It's not possible for X = 4 since we only flipped 3 coins.

The probability of case A happening is 1/8 since we have 1 scenario that's all tails (TTT) out of 8 items in the sample space. Similarly, the probability for case D is the same probability. We only have one HHH out of 8 total items.

The probabilities of cases B and C are the same. Both are 3/8. Note that for case B, we have HTT, THT, TTH which is three occurrences in which we get exactly 1 head. So that explains the 3/8.

Answers

Answer:

A) Independent

B) Dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

A) If we take a marble out and put the marble back, it means we have restored the sample to what it was initially and thus it doesn't affect probability of making another selection.

Thus, this is an independent event.

B) A card is taken from a deck of cards without replacement and set aside. Then after that another card is taken from the first sample, this means that the first sample size has now reduced and thus the first card taken affects the probability of the second card to be picked. Thus, this is a dependent event.

Consider all four-digit numbers that can be made from the digits 0-8 (assume that numbers cannot start with 0). What is the probability of choosing a random number from this group that is less than or equal to 4000

Answers

Answer:

The probability is:

P = 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the total number of four-digit numbers that can be made with the digits 0-8, such that the first digit can not be zero.

To do this, we first need to find the number of selections that we have, in this case, there are 4, one for each digit in our 4-digit number.

Now let's count the number of options that we have for each one of these selections:

first digit: we have 8 options (because the 0 can not be here)

second digit: we have 9 options (because now the zero can be taken)

third digit: we have 9 options

fourth digit: we have 9 options.

The total number of combinations is equal to the product of all the numbers of options, this is:

C = 8*9*9*9 = 5,832

Now we need to find how many of these are less or equal than 4000.

So now let's count the options again:

first digit: 3 options {1, 2, 3}

second digit: 9 options

third digit: 9 option

fourth digit: 9 options

Total number of combinations:

C' = 3*9*9*9 = 2,187

Here we should also count the combination for the number 4000 itself, as it was not counted in our previous calculation, then we have:

C' = 2,187 + 1 = 2,188 combinations.

The probability of randomly choosing a number that is smaller than or equal to 4000 will be equal to the quotient between the number of combinations that are smaller than or equal to 4000 (2,188 combinations) and the total number of combinations (5,832)

this is:

P = 2,188/5,832 = 0.375

Answers

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

n = 81  

s2 = 625  

H0: σ2 = 500  

Ha: σ2 ≠ 500  

Test Statistics X^2 = (n-1)s^2/ σ2 = (81-1)*625/500

X^2 = 100

P value = 0.0646 for degree of freedom = 81-1 = 80

And X^2 = 100

At 95% confidence interval  

Alpha = 0.05 , p value = 0.0646  

p < alpha, we will reject the null hypothesis

Which best explains whether a triangle with side lengths 2 in., 5 in., and 4 in. is an acute triangle?

The triangle is acute because 22 + 52 > 42.
The triangle is acute because 2 + 4 > 5.
The triangle is not acute because 22 + 42 < 52.
The triangle is not acute because 22 < 42 + 52.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  The triangle is not acute because 2² + 4² < 5²

Step-by-step explanation:

The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the given short sides would be 2² +4² = 20. So, that hypotenuse would be √20, about 4.47. The long side of this triangle is longer than that, so the angle opposite is larger than 90°. The triangle with sides 2, 4, 5 is an obtuse triangle.

  The triangle is not acute because 2² + 4² < 5²

The triangle is not acute because 22 + 42 < 52.

Option C is the correct answer.

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a 2-D figure with three sides and three angles.

The sum of the angles is 180 degrees.

We can have an obtuse triangle, an acute triangle, or a right triangle.

We have,

To determine if a triangle is acute, we need to check whether all three angles of the triangle are acute angles (less than 90 degrees).

Pythagorean theorem,

- If the square of the length of the hypotenuse is greater than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is acute.

- If the square of the length of the hypotenuse is less than the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is obtuse.

Now,

The triangle with side lengths 2 in., 5 in., and 4 in. is not a right triangle.

So we can't use the Pythagorean theorem directly.

Now,

We can check if the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is greater than the square of the longest side.

2² + 4² = 4 + 16 = 20

5² = 25

Since 20 < 25, we know that the triangle is not acute.

Therefore,

The triangle is not acute because 22 + 42 < 52.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Computing Tv(X, X + a ) for any a∈(0,1)

Given that :  X∼Ber(0.5)

∴ The probability mass function

    P(X = 1 ) = 0.5

if ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral and A,B,C,D are its interior angles , then prove that
tanA/2+tanB/2=cotC/2+cotD/2

answer the question plz
dont spam or else i will report that ​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary. This means ...

  A + C = 180°   ⇒   A/2 +C/2 = 90°   ⇒   C/2 = 90° -A/2

  B + D = 180°   ⇒   B/2 +D/2 = 90°   ⇒   D/2 = 90° -B/2

It is a trig identity that ...

  tan(α) = cot(90° -α)

so we have ...

  tan(A/2) = cot(90° -A/2) = cot(C/2)

and

  tan(B/2) = cot(90° -B/2) = cot(D/2)

Adding these two equations together gives the desired result:

  tan(A/2) +tan(B/2) = cot(C/2) +cot(D/2)
