Let total amount spent =x

Dita spent 35 % of total amount.

35% of x = 0.35x

So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x

% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x

We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,

so making equation we have ,

Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12

0.35x =0.2x +12

0.35x -0.2x = 12

0.5x =12

x=80

So total amount spent was $80.

Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16

So amount spent by Benton is $16.

Ivanna is playing a game in which she spins a spinner with 6 equal-sized slices numbered 1 through 6. The spinner stops on a num
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The spinner has 6 equal-sized slices, so each slice has a 1/6 probability of showing up.

I guess that we want to find the expected value in one spin:

number 1: wins $1

number 2: wins $3

number 3: wins $5

number 4: wins $7

number 5: losses $8

number 6: loses $8

The expected value can be calculated as:

Ev = ∑xₙpₙ

where xₙ is the event and pₙ is the probability.

We know that the probability for all the events is 1/6, so we have:

Ev = ($1 + $3 + $5 + $7 - $8 - $8)*(1/6) = $0

So the expected value of this game is $0, wich implies that is a fair game.

In the United States, 75 percent of adults wear glasses or contact lenses. A random sample of 10 adults in the United States wil
V125BC [204]

Answer:

0.4745 is the probability that fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat adult adults wear glasses or contact lenses as a success.

P(Adults wear glasses or contact lenses) = 75% = 0.75

Then the number of adults follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

P(fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses)

P(x < 8)\\=1 - P(x = 8) - P(x = 9) - P(x = 10)\\=1 - \binom{10}{8}(0.75)^8(1-0.75)^2 - \binom{10}{9}(0.75)^9(1-0.75)^1- \binom{10}{10}(0.75)^10(1-0.75)^0\\=1 - 0.2815-0.1877-0.0563\\= 0.4745

0.4745 is the probability that fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses.
