Seth sold 20% of his baseball cards during week one. During week two, he bought 20% more cards than he had after week one. If he now has 10 fewer cards, how many cards did he have originally? (he had more than 100 cards originally.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

250 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of baseball cards he originally had be x.

He sold 20% of the baseball cards after week one. This means that after week one the number of cards he had was:

x - (20/100 * x) = x - 0.2x = 0.8x

During week two he bought 20% more cards than he had after week one. This means that after week two, he had:

0.8x + (20/100 * 0.8x)

= 0.8x + (0.2 * 0.8x)

= 0.8x + 0.16x = 0.96x

He now has 10 fewer cards. This means that:

x - 10 = 0.96x

Collecting like terms:

x - 0.96x = 10

0.04x = 10

=> x = 10/0.04 = 250

He had 250 cards originally.

One serving of a cereal is 3/4 cup. Each box of cereal has about 9 cups of cereal and costs $3.80. Is the price per serving greater than $0.50? Complete the explanation.

Answers

Answer:

The price per serving is $0.315, therefore, it's less than $0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the price per serving, we can first calculate the price per cup, this is done by dividing the total value of the box by the number of cups it can serve:

[tex]price_{cup} = \frac{3.8}{9} = 0.42[/tex]

Since each serving is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of a cup, then it's price has the same proportion and is given by:

[tex]price_{serving} = \frac{3}{4}*0.42 = 0.315[/tex]

The price per serving is $0.315, therefore, it's less than $0.5

Answers

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Your answer is correct! When you multiply 2 matrices, the inner dimensions have to be equal. If they are equal, the resulting dimensions would be the outer dimentions.

(3×4)(4×5)

Since the inner (bolded) dimensions are the same, in this case 4×4, we know these matrices can be multiplied.

Since these matrices can be multiplied, the product will be 3×5, the underlined outer dimensions.

An automobile salesman receives a monthly bonus check if his commission income is at least $7,700.00 in a given month. There are 48 automobiles on the lot for sale and he receives a commission of $700.00 per sale. Which inequality shows the number of automobiles,x , the salesman must sell in order for him to receive a bonus check at the end of the month?

Answers

Answer:

The inequality that represents the number of cars he needs to sell is: [tex]x \geq 11[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The commission received by the salesman, can be modeled by the following expression:

[tex]\text{commission}(x) = 700*x[/tex]

Where "x" is the number of sold cars. Since he needs to achieve a commission value of at least 7700, then the inequality that represents the number of cars he needs to sell is:

[tex]700*x \geq 7700[/tex]

We can solve for "x" in order to find the number of cars he needs to sell:

[tex]x \geq \frac{7700}{700}\\\\x \geq 11[/tex]

He needs to sell at least 11 cars.

Ruben and Victor both track the number of miles they walk each day for 6 months. The data is normally distributed for each student.



Ruben had a mean μR of 5 miles with a standard deviation σR=1.1.



Victor had a mean μV of 4.4 miles with a standard deviation σV=1.4.



What are the probabilities that Ruben walked more than 6.1 miles and that Victor walked less than 5.8 miles? Select the probabilities that apply.



16%


34%


68%


545


95%

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable representing the number of miles that each person walked each day for 6 months. Since it is normally distributed and the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

For Rueben,

µ = 5

σ = 1.1

the probability that Rueben walked more than 6.1 miles is expressed as

P(x > 6.1) = 1 - P( x ≤ 6.1)

For x = 6.1,

z = (4 - 6.1)/1.1 = - 1.91

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.02807

P(x > 6.1) = 1 - 0.02807 = 0.97193

P(x > 6.1) = 0.97 × 100 = 97%

For Victor,

µ = 4.4

σ = 1.4

the probability that Victor walked less than 5.8 miless is expressed as

P(x < 5.8)

For x = 5.8,

z = (5.8 - 4.4)/1.4 = 1

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.8413

P(x < 5.8) = 0.84 = 84%

The standard deviation of a set of numbers is 22.2. What would the standard deviation be if each one of the numbers in the set was decreased by 4?

Answers

Answer:

There would be no change in the standard deviation if each one of the numbers in the set was decreased by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the standard deviation of a set of numbers is 22.2.

And we have to check that what would be the standard deviation, if each one of the numbers in the set was decreased by 4.

For concluding this, we will take a simple example;

Suppose that there are three set of numbers : 6, 8 and 10

Firstly, we will calculate the standard deviation for these numbers;

           X                        [tex]X - \bar X[/tex]                        [tex](X-\bar X)^{2}[/tex]

           6                      6 - 8 = -2                           4

           8                      8 - 8 = 0                            0

          10                     10 - 8 = 2                           4    

                                                                             8    

Here, the Mean of the three numbers is given by;

        Mean, [tex]\bar X[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{6+8+10}{3}[/tex]  = 8

Now, standard deviation formula is given by;

      Standard deviation, s  =  [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(\sum X - \bar X)^{2} }{n-1} }[/tex]  

                                            =  [tex]\sqrt{\frac{8 }{3-1} }[/tex]  = 2

Now, we will decrease each of the three numbers by 4, we get ;

              X                        [tex]X - \bar X[/tex]                        [tex](X-\bar X)^{2}[/tex]

              2                      2 - 4 = -2                           4

              4                      4 - 4 = 0                            0

              6                      6 - 4 = 2                           4    

                                                                                8    

Here, the Mean of the three numbers is given by;

        Mean, [tex]\bar X[/tex]  =  [tex]\frac{2+4+6}{3}[/tex]  = 4

Now, standard deviation formula is given by;

      Standard deviation, s  =  [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(\sum X - \bar X)^{2} }{n-1} }[/tex]  

                                            =  [tex]\sqrt{\frac{8 }{3-1} }[/tex]  = 2

From this, we observe that even after decreasing each number by 4, the standard deviation remains same.

SO, we can conclude that if each one of the numbers in the set was decreased by 4 , the standard deviation of a set of numbers will be 22.2 only.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This follows the form

[tex]y=a(b)^x[/tex]

where a is the initial value and b is the base with the exponent.  Using that information, we can see that the initial value in our function is 1/3. Simplifying the base will take some work. Let's first rewrite this is a radical:

[tex]81^{\frac{3x}{4} }=\sqrt[4]{81^{3x} }[/tex]

Now let's break up 81 into its factors. 81 is 9*9 which is 3*3*3*3.  Therefore,

[tex]81=3^4[/tex]

We will use that as a simplification:

[tex]\sqrt[4]{(3^4)^{3x}}[/tex]  which simplifies to

[tex]\sqrt[4]{3^{12x}}[/tex]

Rewriting that as an exponent looks like this:

Of the students who felt they did not learn better at home, 40% said they plan on taking an online course in college

Part A

What is the probability a person who does plan on taking an online course felt they did not learn better at home?

A : 2/21
B : 24/125
C : 38/125
D : 19/31
E : None of these

Answers

Answer:

(A) The correct option is (A).

(B) The correct option is (E).

Step-by-step explanation:

The events can be defined as follows:

X =  students felt they learned better at home

Y = students plan on taking an online course in college

The information provided is:

P (X) = 0.24

P (Y|X) = 0.80

P (Y|X') = 0.40

[tex]P(Y'|X)=1-P(Y|X)\\=1-0.80\\=0.20[/tex]

[tex]P(Y'|X')=1-P(Y|X')\\=1-0.40\\=0.60[/tex]

The Bayes' theorem states that the conditional probability of an event E[tex]_{i}[/tex] given that another event A has already occurred is:

[tex]P(E_{i}|A)=\frac{P(A|E_{i})P(E_{i})}{\sum {P(A|E_{i})P(E_{i})}}[/tex]

(A)

Compute the probability a person who does not plan on taking an online course felt they learned better at home as follows:

Use the Bayes' theorem.

[tex]P(X|Y')=\frac{P(Y'|X)P(X)}{P(Y'|X)P(X)+P(Y'|X')P(X')}[/tex]

              [tex]=\frac{0.20\times 0.24}{(0.20\times 0.24)+(0.60\times 0.76)}\\\\=0.09524\\\\\approx 0.095[/tex]

Thus, the probability a person who does not plan on taking an online course felt they learned better at home is 0.095 or 2/21.

(B)

Compute the probability a person who does plan on taking an online course felt they did not learn better at home as follows:

[tex]P(X'|Y')=1-P(X|Y')\\=1-0.095\\=0.905[/tex]

Thus, the probability a person who does plan on taking an online course felt they did not learn better at home is 0.905.
