Two percent of the customers of a store buy cigars. Half of the customers who buy cigars buy beer. 25 percent who buy beer buy c
enyata [817]

Answer:

0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability that a customer neither buys beer nor buys cigars is given below;

Given that, the probabilities are

The customers who purchased cigars be 0.02

The customers who purchased cigars + beer 0.50

And, the customers who purchased beer + cigars be 0.25

Now the probabilities where the customer purchased both

= 0.05 × 0.02

= 0.10

The probability where the customer purchased beer is

= 0.01 ÷ 0.25

= 0.04

Now the probability where a customer neither buys beer nor buys cigars is

= 1 - 0.02 + 0.04 - 0.01

= 0.95

If 36 is is the dividend and 4 is the divisor then what is the quotient
max2010maxim [7]
Given:
36 is the dividend
4 is the divisor
Since, 4 is the divisor, you are going to want to see how many times 4 can fit into 36 evenly:
4*1=4, 4*2=8, 4*3=12, 4*4=16, 4*5=20, 4*6=24, 4*7=28, 4*9= 36
As you can see above, 4 goes into 36, 9 times evenly:
36/4 = 9
Quotient: 9

I hope this helps!

Identify the key characteristics of the parent fifth-root function f (x) = ^5sqrtx. Include the following: domain, range, interv
Andre45 [30]

Given functin is :

f\left(x\right)=\sqrt[5]{x}

We know that the domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In given function, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined. Hence domain is all real numbers.

Domain: (-∞,∞)

Range is the set of y-values obtained by plugging values from domain so the range will also same.

Range: (-∞,∞)

If we increase value of x then y-value will also increase so that means it is an INCREASING function. You can also verify that from graph.

It crosses x and y-axes both at the origin

Hence x-intercept=0 and y-intercept=0

Graph is not symmetric about y-axis hence it can't be EVEN

Graph is not symmetric about origin so it is ODD.

There is  no breaking point in the graph so that means it is a Continuous function.

There is no hoirzontal or vertical or slant line which seems to be appearing to touch the graph at infinity so there is NO asymptote.

END behaviour means how y-changes when x approaches infinity.

From graph we can see that when x-approaches -∞ then y also approaches ∞.

when x-approaches +∞ then y also approaches +∞.

A pound of oranges costs $2 less than a pound of pears. Together, ten pounds of oranges and eight pounds of pears cost $61. How
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Let us say that:

o = cost of oranges per pound

p = cost of pears per pound

 

so that:

o = p – 2

 

Therefore:

10o + 8p = 61

10 (p – 2) + 8p = 61

10p – 20 + 8p = 61

18p = 81

p = 4.5

p = $4.5 per pound

 

So 3 pounds of pears would cost:

total cost = 3 * 4.5

total cost = $13.5

Alice has seven times the amount of pens that Maurice has. Paul has two-thirds of the amount of pens as Alice and Suzy have comb
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Dawn has 32 pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let No. of pens Alice has = A
  • Let No. of pens Maurice has = M
  • Let no of pens Paul has = P
  • Let no. of pens Suzy has = S
  • Let no of pens Dawn has = D

Given :

  • A = 7M
  • P = 2/3 (A + S)  
  • D = P + 12
  • S = 1/2 M
  • If S = 2 {Given}
  • M = 4    [∵ S = 1/2 M → M = 2S = 2X(2) ]
  • A = 28  [ ∵ A = 7M → A = 7 x 4 ]
  • P = 20  [∵ P = 2/3 (A+S) → P = 2/3 (28 + 2) = 2/3 (30) ]
  • D = 32  [ ∵ D = P + 12 → D = 20 + 12 ]
