A clothing store owner decided to track customers' reasons for returning items. She found that 9% of customers do not provide a reason, 29% say the item did not fit, 13% find a flaw with the item and 4% changed their mind about the purchase. The remaining customers returns gifts purchased for them. What is the probability that out of 40 returns on a given day, 20 are gifts that are being returned?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.102542

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 9% of customers do not provide a reason, 29% say the item did not fit, 13% find a flaw with the item, and 4% changed their mind about the purchase.

So, the total percentage of items returned due to no reason, unfit, flaw, and due to changing mind

=9%+29%+13%+4%=55%

As the remaining customers returned gifts purchased for them, so, the percentage of customers who returned gifts =100-55=45%.

So, the fraction of customers who returned gifts=45/100=0.45.

Now, observe that if 1 item returned, there is a chance of 0.45 that the item is a gift.

Moreover, there are only two possibilities for any idem, i.e the idem was a gift or not a gift, so the number of total returned items can be considered a Bernoulli's population.

Let p be the probability of a returned item which is the same for all the returned items,

p=0.45

So, according to Bernoulli's theorem, the probability that out of n=40 returns on a given day, r=20 are gifts is

[tex]\binom{n}{r}p^r(1-p)^{n-r}=\binom{40}{20}(0.45)^{20}(1-0.45)^{40-20}[/tex]

[tex]=0.102542[/tex]

Hence, the probability that 20 returned items are gifts among the total 40 returned items is 0.102542.

A ferris wheel can accommodate 70 people in 20 minutes. How many people could ride the ferris wheel in 5 hours? What was that rate per hour?

Answers

Answer:

210 is the rate per hour and 1,050 people in 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

    You need to get answer to people per hour first. 70 people could ride the ferris wheel in 20 minutes. 20 minutes is 1/3 of 60 minutes, which is an hour. So you multiply both the time and the amount of people by 3. 70 times 3 is 210. This is the amount of people that could ride the ferris wheel in 1 hour. Then, we need to multiply this number by 5, because we need the amount of people that could ride the ferris wheel in 5 hours, not 1 hour. So 210 times 5 is 1,050. 1,050 people could ride the ferris wheel in 5 hours.

    Next, we need to find the rate per hour. You already have the answer to that though. It is the amount of people that could ride the ferris wheel, so your  previous number: 210. Your rate would be 210 people per hour could ride the ferris wheel.

50° is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Right Triangles

The right triangles are identified because they have an internal angle of 90°. The basic trigonometric ratios can be used to find angles and side lengths as needed.

We have a right triangle with the following characteristics:

The hypotenuse is 13 units long

The indicated angle is opposite to the leg of 10 units long.

When we know the length of the opposite side, we use the sine ratio. Let's call θ to the required angle:

[tex]\displaystyle \sin\theta=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \sin\theta=\frac{10}{13}[/tex]

Using a calculator set in mode degrees, the angle is:

[tex]\theta=\sin^{-1}\frac{10}{13}[/tex]

[tex]\theta\approx 50.3^\circ[/tex]

First choice: 52° is not correct because is not a good approximation to 50.3°

Second choice:38° is not correct because is not a good approximation to 50.3°

Third choice: 50° is a good approximation to 50.3°. Correct Answer

f(x) - 2x³ + kx - 4 and the remainder when f(x) is divided by x + 2 is -18.  then k is 15.

What is Remainder theorem?

The remainder theorem states that when a polynomial p(x) is divided by (x - a), then the remainder = f(a)

f(x)=2x³ + kx - 4

x+2=0

x=-2

By the remainder theorem, the remainder when dividing by x-a is f(a)

f(-2)=2(-2)³+k(-2)-4

=-2(-8)-2k-4

=16-2k-4

The remainder is -18.

So, 16-2k-4=-18

12-2k=-18

-2k=-18-12

-2k=-30

k=15

Hence the value of k is 15.

The hospital uses the quadratic model to predict the number of births

The equation of the quadratic model is f(x) = 4 x^2 -43 x +178, and the number of births for month 8 is 90

How to determine the quadratic model

To determine the quadratic model, the make use of a graphing calculator, that has the following calculation summary

a = 4.339 b = -43.461 c = 178.3

A quadratic model is represented as:

[tex]y= ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = 4.339 x^2 -43.461 x +178.3[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]y = 4 x^2 -43 x +178[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]f(x) = 4 x^2 -43 x +178[/tex]

At the 8th month, we have x = 8.

So, the function becomes

[tex]f(8) = 4 * 8^2 -43 *8 +178[/tex]

[tex]f(8) = 90[/tex]

The midpoint of AB is M(4,4). If the coordinates of A are (2, 1), what are the
coordinates of B?

Answers

Answer:

(6, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps.

The midpoint of the line segment AB is M. Then the coordinate of the point B will be (6, 7).

What is the mid-point of the line segment?

Let AB be the line segment and C be the mid-point of line segment AB. Let the coordinate of point A (x₁, y₁), the coordinate of point B (x₂, y₂), and the coordinate of the mid-point (x, y).

Then the coordinate of the mid-point of the line segment is given as,

(x, y) = [(x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2]

The midpoint of AB is M(4,4). If the coordinates of A are (2, 1). Then the coordinate of the point B will be given as,

(x, y) = [(x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2]

(4, 4) = [(2 + x₂) / 2, (1 + y₂) / 2]

Compare the abscissa, then we have

(2 + x₂) / 2 = 4

(2 + x₂) = 8

x₂ = 8 - 2

x₂ = 6

Compare the ordinate, then we have

(1 + y₂) / 2 = 4

1 + y₂ = 8

y₂ = 8 - 1

y₂ = 7

The midpoint of the line segment AB is M. Then the coordinate of the point B will be (6, 7).

The ratio of boys to girls in our class is 4 to 5. If
there are 8 girls, then how many total students are
in the class?

Answers

Answer:

6.4/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since

4 : 5 = X : 8

Then we know

4/5 = X/8

Multiplying both sides by 8 cancels on the right

8 × (4/5) = (X/8) × 8

8 × (4/5) = X

Then solving for X

X = 8 × (4/5)

X = 6.4

Therefore

4 : 5 = 6.4 : 8
