Karen is making a set of costumes for the school play using a piece of cloth. She reduces the length of the cloth she intends to

Answer:

The new length is 13.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the new length of the cloth she wants to use

What we know from the question is that she is making a reduction of 10% from an initial of 15 meters

Thus, the length she is to use can be calculated by first getting what 10% of 15 meters is

Mathematically, that would be ;

10/100 * 15 = 1.5 meters

We now subtract this from the total of 15 meters

= 15 meters - 1.5 meters = 13.5 meters

As a promotion, the first 50 customers who entered a certain store at a mall were asked to choose from one of two discounts. The
qaws [65]

Answer:

A) Yes, because P (F∩S) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

50 customers of a store were asked to choose between two discounts:

Discount 1: 20% off all purchases for the day.

Discount 2: 10% off all purchases for the week.

28 choose discount 1

22 choose discount 2

F: the selected person choose discount 1.

S: the selected person choose discount 2.

Two events are mutually exclusive when the occurrence of one of them prevents the other from occurring in one repetition of the trial and the intersection between these two events is void with zero probability of happening.

In this case, since the customers were asked to choose one out of the two events, if the customer chooses the first one, then he couldn't have chosen the second one and vice-versa. Then the intersection between these two events has zero probability, symbolically:

P(F∩S)=0

I hope it helps!

The equation 9t = 27.99 models a constant rate situation. Drag and drop the value of 5t in the box. 5t = 3.11 15.55 18.99 36.99
JulsSmile [24]
5t = 15.55. Here's why:

Since in the equation 9t = 27.99 is basically multiply two numbers to get a product, divide 27.99 by 9:

27.99/9 = 3.11

3.11 is the value of t. So now that we've found the value of t, plug it into the equation 5t like so:

5*3.11 = 15.55

I hope this helped you out! :)

11 Points Estimate the average by first rounding to the nearest 1,000: 1,000 2,300 2,600
iragen [17]

Answer:

Average = 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers are:

1,000 2,300 2,600

To find:

First round off the numbers to nearest 1000 and then find Average.

Solution:

1000 is already in thousands so no need to round off.

To round off a number to nearest thousand, we need check the digit on hundred's place.

  • If the hundred's digit is greater than 5, we increase the thousand's digit by 1 and make the hundred's digit as 0.
  • If the hundred's digit is lesser than 5, the thousand's digit remains the same and we make the hundred's digit as 0.

So, 2300 will be rounded off as 2000.

and 2600 will be rounded off as 3000.

Now, the numbers whose average is to be calculated are 1000, 2000, 3000.

Formula for average is given as:

Average = \dfrac{\text{Sum of all numbers}}{\text{Count of numbers}}

applying the formula:

Average = \dfrac{1000+2000+3000}{3}\\\Rightarrow Average = \dfrac{6000}{3}\\\Rightarrow \bold{Average = 2000}

So, the average after rounding off to nearest 1000 is 2000.
