The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

5%/84% = 5/84

The answer is 0.0595238095238095. And rounding our answer to he nearest tenth (percent), we’d be getting .060.

 

If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me.

Answer:

0.06 or 6% probability

Step-by-step explanation:

At a gas station, 84% of customers buy gasoline

P (A) = \frac{84}{100} = 0.84

5% of customers buy gasoline and a beverage

P (B) = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05

Equation of conditional probability = P (A and B) = P(A) × P(B/A)

    =  P(B/A) = P (A and B) / P(A)

   = P ( B/A ) = \frac{0.05}{0.84}

  = 0.0595 ≈  0.060 or 6%

The probability that a customer who buys gasoline also buys a beverage is 0.060 or 6%.

A population of butterflies grows in such a way that each generation is simply 1.5 times the previous generation. There were 350
kap26 [50]

Answer:

378.5 or just 378

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear model with x representing the number of generations that's gone by, y is the number of butterflies after x number of generations has gone by, and the 350 represents the number of butterflies initially (before any time has gone by.  When x = 0, y = 350 so that's the y-intercept of our equation.)

The form for a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, the initial amount when x = 0.

Our rate of change is 1.5 and the initial amount of butterflies is 350, so filling in the equation we get a model of y = 1.5x + 350.

If we want y when x = 19, plug 19 in for x and solve for y:

y = 1.5(19) + 350

y = 378.5

Since we can't have .5 of a butterfly we will round down to 378

Let g(x)= -2(3x+4)(x−1)(x−3)^2 be a polynomial function. Name all horizontal and vertical intercepts of the graph. State the end
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The vertical intercepts is

(4/3,0) (3,0) (1,0)

The horinzontial intercepts is

(0,72)

The end behavior is

<em>as x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical or y intercepts will be zeroes of the following factors.

3x + 4 = 0

x - 1 = 0

(x - 3) {}^{2}  = 0

We solve for x each time.

x =  -  \frac{4}{3}

x = 1

x = 3

Part B). We need to find the intercepts by setting the equation equal to zero.

The constant expanded will equal 72.

If x=0,

{0}^{y}  = 0

where y is any real number.

So this means all the exponets will equal 0. The constant will just add to the term. so our horinzontal intercept is

0 + 72 = 72

Part C) End Behavior

The leading degree is even. Even Degree Polynomials like Quadratics tend to go approach positive infinity vertically as x approaches positive infinity, and as x approaches negative infinity, it approaches positive infinity vertically.

Our leading coefficient is negative so this means our quadratic will get reflected across the x axis.

Now this means, as x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.
