Answer:

b) $640

Step-by-step explanation:

Competitor's price  = $800

<u>Price, 20% below of competitor's:</u>

  • $800 - 20% =
  • $800*(100-20)/100 =
  • $800*0.8 =
  • $640

Correct answer choice is b) $640

A customer visiting the suit department of a certain store will purchase a suit with probability .22, a shirt with probability .
BigorU [14]

Answer:

a) The probability that he doesnt but any items is 0.49

b) He buys exactly 1 of those items with probability 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

lets call su the event that the customer purchases a suit, sh the event that teh customer purchases a shirt and t the event that the customer purchases a tie.

Remembe that for events A, B and C we have that

P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

P(A U B U C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(A ∩ B) - P(A ∩ C) - P(B ∩ C) + P(A ∩ B ∩ C)

Also, we are given that

P(su) = 0.22

P(sh) = 0.3

p(t) = 0.28

p(su ∩ sh) =  0.11

P(su ∩ t) = 0.14

P(sh ∩ t) = 0.1

P(sh ∩ t ∩ su) = 0.06

The event that he doesnt buy any item has as complementary event su ∪ sh ∪ t, therefore

P( he doesnt but any items) = 1-P(su U sh U t) =

1-( P(su) + p(sh) + p(t) - P(su ∩ sh) - p(su∩t) - p(sh∩t) + p(su∩sh∩t) ) =

1-(0.22+0.30+0.28-0.11-0.14-0.1+0.06) = 1-0.51 = 0.49

b) The probability that he buys at least 2 items is equal to

p(su ∩ t) + p(su ∩ sh) + p(sh ∩ t) -2 p(su ∩ t ∩ sh) (because we are counting the triple intersection 3 times, so we need to remove it twice)

This number is

0.14+0.11+0.1-2*0.06 = 0.23

Thus, the probability that he buys exactly one item can be computed by substracting from one the probability of the complementary event : she buys 2 or more or non items

P(he buys exactly one item) = 1- ( p(he buys none items) + p(he buys at least 2) ) = 1- 0.49-0.23 = 0.28

Sphinxa [80]
A(n) = –3 • 2⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾

for n = 1 ,  A₁ = -3.(2)⁰ = -3
for n = 2 ,  A₂ = -3.(2)¹ = -6
for n = 3 ,  A₃ = -3.(2)² = -12
for n = 4 ,  A₄ = -3.(2)³ = -24
...........................................

Wyatt solved the following equation:
NikAS [45]

Answer:

<u>Option B</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

x+\frac{1}{2} (6x-4) =6

Step Work Justification

1 2x + 6x − 4 = 12

2 8x − 4 = 12

3 8x = 16

4 x = 2

Which of the following has all of the correct justifications Wyatt used to solve this equation?

A. Distributive property. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

B. Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

C. Distributive property. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Subtraction property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

D. Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Subtraction property of equality. 4. Division property of equality

<u />

<u>The answer:</u>

Step Work Justification

multiply both sides by 2

1) 2x + 6x − 4 = 12 ⇒  {Multiplication property of equality}

{Combine like terms}

2) 8x − 4 = 12 ⇒

Adding 4 both sides

3) 8x = 16       ⇒ {Addition property of equality}

divide both sides by 8

4) x = 2           ⇒ {Division property of equality}

The answer is option B

(B) Multiplication property of equality. 2. Combine like terms. 3. Addition property of equality. 4. Division property of equality.

How can Ari simplify the following expression? StartFraction 5 Over a minus 3 EndFraction minus 4 divided by 2 + StartFraction 1
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

-\frac{8}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{5}{-3} - \frac{4}{2} + \frac{1}{-3}

Required

Simpify

The very first step is to take LCM of the given expression

\frac{-10 -4 - 2}{6}

Perform arithmetic operations o the numerator

-\frac{16}{6}

Divide the numerator and denominator by 2

-\frac{16/2}{6/2}

-\frac{8}{3}

The expression can't be further simplified;

Hence, \frac{5}{-3} - \frac{4}{2} + \frac{1}{-3} = -\frac{8}{3}
