Since the problem doesn’t give a definite question, here are the possible questions and answer:

P(fewer than 4 tosses) 
= P(one toss) + P(two toss) + P(3 toss) 
= (3/4) + (3/4)(1/4) + (3/4)(1/4)^2 
= 0.984375 


Expected value 
= 1 / p 
= 1 / (3/4) 
= 4 / 3 

Variance 
= (1 - p) / p^2 
= (1 - (3/4)) / (3/4)^2 
= (1/4) / (9/16) 
= 4 / 9 

Standard deviation 
= sqrt(Variance) 
= sqrt(4 / 9) 
= 2 / 3

Diane reed had office supply sales of $3,285 this month. this is a 78% of last months supply sales. what was the amount of last
Hoochie [10]

To solve this problem, we can set up an equation, letting the unknown value of last month's supply sales be represented by the variable x.

First, we must convert 78% to its decimal equivalent, by dividing 78/100. This is because percentages are parts of a whole 100 percent.

78/100 = 0.78

Now, we are ready to set up our equation, using our knowledge that the word "of" refers to multiplication in mathematics.

3,285 = 0.78x

To solve our equation, we must divide both sides of the equation by 0.78 to get the variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 4211.53846154

This means that last month's supply sales were about $4,211.54 (we round the last digit up because 8 is greater than 5).

Hope this helps!
