A bookshelf contains 9 mysteries, 7 biographies, and 4 science fiction books. A book is randomly selected, not replaced, then another is selected. Find the probability of selecting a biography then a mystery.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

63/380

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially,

# of Mysteries, M = 9

# of Biographies, B = 7

# of Sci. Fiction, S = 4

Total number of books = 9 + 7 + 4 = 20 books

P (first book selected is biography) = 7/20

After selecting 1 biography book,

# of Mysteries, M = 9

# of Biographies, B = 7 - 1 = 6

# of Sci. Fiction, S = 4

Total number of books remaining = 9 + 6 + 4 = 19 books

P (second book selected is a mystery) = 9/19

Hence (P first book is biography and 2nd book is mystery)

= (7/20 )(9/19)

= 63/380

Answer 2

The probability of selecting a biography then a mystery is 0.14.

What is the probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

We know that, probability of an event = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes.

Given that, a bookshelf contains 9 mysteries, 7 biographies, and 4 science fiction books.

Total number of outcomes = 9+7+4

= 20

The probability of selecting a biography = 7/20

The probability of selecting a mystery = 9/20

Probability of an event = 7/20 × 9/20

= 56/400

= 0.14

Therefore, the probability of selecting a biography then a mystery is 0.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a $500 public relations budget for the current year. You would like to generate publicity by publishing several ads in the local township newspaper about your store's sponsorship of community activities. The newspaper normally charges $75 per ad but will give you a 20% discount since your message is community service-oriented. How many ads can you buy?

Answers

Answer:

8 ads

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off, we know we have a budget of $500 which means we cannot go above that amount. Ads cost $75 each but in our case they are now 20% cheaper. Lets figure out the new price of the ads. Remember to change 20% into its decimal form (20% -> 0.2)

75 x 0.2 = 15

Now we subtract 15 from 75 to get our new ad price.

75 - 15 = 60

Now to figure out how many ads we can get with a budget of $500, we simply divide 500 by 60. Don't forget to round the answer to the nearest whole number since we cannot go over our budget.

500 / 60 = 8 ads

each. What is her commission this week?

(i need the explanation)

Answers

450 multiplied by .025 also known as 2.5 percent which equals 11.25 dollars
which is her commission for the week
Final answer:

An employee at a cell phone store sold 40 phones for $450 each, totaling $18,000 in sales. Based on her commission rate of 2.5%, she earns $450 in commission for the week.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is how to calculate the employee's commission based on her sales. First, we need to calculate the total sales the employee made. She sold 40 phones at $450 each, so her total sales would be 40 * $450 = $18,000.

Next, we need to figure out what 2.5% of her total sales is because this is her commission rate. The calculation would be $18,000 * 2.5/100 = $450.

So, the employee's commission for this week is $450.

Part C: YX = 24 meters and mYX = 120 degrees , then determine the radius of circle H.

Answers

Answer: The radius is 11.5 meters (to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation: The circle with center H has an arc TX that measures 24 meters, and also the angle subtended by YX equals 120°.

The length of an arc is given b the formula;

Length of arc = (∅/360) x 2πr

Where the length of the arc is 24 and ∅ is 120, the formula becomes;

24 = (120/360) x 2(3.14) r

24 = (1/3) x 6.28 r

By cross multiplication we now have,

(24 x 3)/6.28 = r

72/6.28 = r

11.4649 = r

r ≈ 11.5

Therefore, the radius is approximately 11.5 meters

Answers

The measure of angle VU is 240°.

Given that arc SV has a measure of **120°** and angle STV is **82°**, we can find the measure of angle VU.

1. The central angle STV is equal to the measure of arc SV. Therefore, ∠STV = 120°.

2. The sum of angles around a point (360°) is equal to the sum of the central angle and the inscribed angle. So, ∠VU + ∠STV = 360°.

3. Solving for ∠VU:

  - ∠VU + 120° = 360°

  - ∠VU = 360° - 120°

  - ∠VU = 240°

Therefore, the measure of angle VU is 240°.

Kayla wants to purchase some new clothes for the school year and has a budget of $200. The sales tax rate that will apply when she makes her purchases is 7%. Here are the items she wants to purchase:

2 T-shirts, $9.98 each
1 pair of pants, $25.99
3 dresses, $24.99 each
1 pair of shoes, $89.99
Kayla’s budget be enough to purchase all of the clothing items listed after sales tax is applied because the total will be .

Answers

Answer:

Kayla will not have enough because the total will be $225.67

Step-by-step explanation:

2 * 9.98 = 19.96

3 * 24.99 = 74.97

19.96 + 25.99 = 45.95

45.95 + 74.97 = 120.92

120.92 + 89.99 = 210.91

0.07 * 210.91 = 14.76

210.91 + 14.76 = 225.67

Kayla will not have enough because the total will be $225.67

Calculation of the total balance:

Since there is a budget of $200. The sales tax rate is 7%

Also, the following items should be purchased

2 T-shirts, $9.98 each

1 pair of pants, $25.99

3 dresses, $24.99 each

1 pair of shoes, $89.99

So, the calculations should be

2 of 9.98 = 19.96

3 of 24.99 = 74.97

Now the total should be

19.96 + 25.99 = 45.95

45.95 + 74.97 = 120.92

120.92 + 89.99 = 210.91

0.07 of 210.91 = 14.76

And, finally

210.91 + 14.76 = 225.67

Therefore, Kayla will not have enough because the total will be $225.67

Coordinate geometry is the study of geometry using the points in space.

On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled Side length and the y-axis is labeled Perimeter or area.

A line representing the perimeter goes through points (0, 0), (1, 4), (2, 8), (3, 12).

Then the equation of line will be

y = [(12 – 8) / (3 – 2)]x

y = 4x

A curved line representing the area goes through points (0, 0), (2, 4), (3, 9), and (4, 16).

y = x²

Andrew wants to build a square garden, and needs to determine how much area he has for planting.

The perimeter of the garden is between 12 and 14 feet.

Then the value of the side length corresponding to 12 and 14 will be

For y = 12, we have

12 = 4x

 x = 3

Then the area will be

y = 3²

y = 9 square feet

For y = 14, we have

14= 4x

 x = 3.5

Then the area will be

y = 3.5²

y = 12.25 square feet

Then the range of the possible areas will be 9 square feet and 12.25 square feet.

Then the correct option is B.
