Answer:

A - Per 100 people, cashier should expect 26 customer until he finds a costumer that makes a purchase.

B - The probability is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimated chance of a customer making a purchase = 74%

So, if a TOTAL of 100 people visit the grocery store on any random day,

then 74 % of customers

= 74% of 100

= 74 people will make purchases.

⇒ Out of total 100 people visiting, 74 people will make a purchase.

So, the number of people NOT making a purchase = 100 - 74 = 26

⇒ Out of total 100 people visiting, 26 people will NOT make a purchase.

Also, 26 = 26% of 100

Part A :

So, in order to make a purchase, cashier should expect 26% of customers because the percentage of NOT purchasing is 26%.

Hence, per 100 people, cashier should expect 26 customer until he finds a costumer that makes a purchase.

Part B :

The percentage of customer making a purchase = 74%

The percentage of people NOT making a purchase = 26%

So, for every 3 customer making a purchase there is a 1 person NOT making a purchase.

So, the probability is 1/4

sandy is observing the velocity of a runner at different times. After one hour, the velocity of the runner is 4 km/h. After two

Butoxors [25]

A) Let x stand for time, y stand for velocity.
We are given the points (2,50), (6, 54). We can make a line using the slope intercept form
y = mx + b.
slope is (54 - 50)/(6-2) = 4/4 = 1
y = 1x + b
plug in point (2,50) to find b
50 = 1(2) + b
50-2 = b
48 = b
the equation is y = 1x + 48
Make standard form.
x - y = -48

Let f(x)=4x-1 and g(x)=2x^2+3. Perform each function operations and then find the domain.

Triss [41]

F(x) = 4x - 1
g(x) = 2x² + 3

1. (f + g)(x) = (4x - 1) + (2x² + 3)
(f + g)(x) = 2x² + 4x + (-1 + 3)
(f + g)(x) = 2x² + 4x + 2
Domain: {x| -∞ < x < ∞}, (-∞, ∞)

2. (f - g)(x) = (4x + 1) - (2x² + 3)
 (f - g)(x) = 4x + 1 - 2x² - 3
(f - g)(x) = -2x² + 4x + 1 - 3
(f - g)(x) = -2x² + 4x - 2
Domain: {x|-∞ < x < ∞}, (-∞, ∞)
3. (g - f)(x) = (2x² + 3) - (4x - 1)
(g - f)(x) = 2x² + 3 - 4x + 1
(g - f)(x) = 2x² - 4x + 3 + 1
(g - f)(x) = 2x² - 4x + 4
Domain: {x| -∞ < x < ∞}, (-∞, ∞)

4. (f · g)(x) = (4x + 1)(2x² + 3)
(f · g)(x) = 4x(2x² + 3) + 1(2x² + 3)
(f · g)(x) = 4x(2x²) + 4x(3) + 1(2x²) + 1(3)
(f · g)(x) = 8x³ + 12x + 2x² + 3
(f · g)(x) = 8x³ + 2x² + 12x + 3
Domain: {x| -∞ < x < ∞}, (-∞, ∞)

5. $(\frac{f}{g})(x) = \frac{4x - 1}{2x^{2} + 3}$
Domain: 2x² + 3 ≠ 0
- 3 - 3
2x² ≠ 0
2 2
 x² ≠ 0
x ≠ 0
(-∞, 0) ∨ (0, ∞)

6. $(\frac{g}{f})(x) = \frac{2x^{2} + 3}{4x - 1}$
Domain: 4x - 1 ≠ 0
