Answer:

0.9545

Step-by-step explanation:

Let an integer be x.

If x is increased by 15%, then the value of the number would be

115/100x=1.15x

If 1.15x is decreased by 17%, then the value of the number would be:

(100-17)/100×1.15x

83/100×1.15x=0.9545x

Zenaida is shopping and wants to purchase a $320 stereo system. The store is offering an incentive of 10 to 30 percent off when
lesantik [10]

The stereo system costs $256.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of the stereo system = $320.  

The discount Zenaida received = 20%.  

To Find:

Cost of the stereo system after the discount=?

Solution:

Step1:  Finding the discount amount:

Discount percentage =20

Discount amount = original cost × discount percent

Substituting the values,

\text { Discount amount }=320 \times 20 \%

\text { Discount amount }=320 \times \frac{20}{100}

\text { Discount amount }=320 \times \frac{1}{5}

\text { Discount amount }=320 \times 0.2

\text { Discount amount }=64

Step 2: Removing the discounted amount from the original price

Final cost of the stereo system =original cost of the stereo system –discount amount

Substituting the values we get,

Final cost=320-64

Final cost=256

Result:

Thus the cost of the stereo system after discount is $256

Suppose that the probability density function for the length x in feet of some type of fish caught by sport fishermen is given b
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The probability that a fish caught by a fisherman is between 0.25 feet and 2 feet long is 0.4375.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability density function or p.d.f. for the length <em>x,</em> in feet, of some type of fish caught by sport fishermen is :

p(x) = \left \{{{(\frac{1}{4})\ ;\  0\leq x\leq 4 } \atop{0\ ;\ otherwise} \right.

The probability that a fish caught by a fisherman is between 0.25 feet and 2 feet long is:

P(0.25\leq X\leq 2)=\int\limits^{0.25}_{2} {(\frac{1}{4})} \, dx \\=|(\frac{1}{4})x|^{2}_{0.25}\\=(\frac{1}{4})(2-0.25)\\=0.4375

Thus, the probability that a fish caught by a fisherman is between 0.25 feet and 2 feet long is 0.4375.
