P(X \ Y) = P(X ∩ Y)/P(Y)
P(X ∩ Y) = 80/1000 = 0.08
P(Y) = 580/1000 = 0.58

P(X \ Y) = 0.08/0.58 = 8/58 = 4/29

−7x−50≤−1 AND−6x+70>−2
PIT_PIT [3949]

Answer:

-7\geq x and [-7,12) expressed in interval notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound inequality -7x-50\leq -1\text{ and }-6x+70>-2 has been provided. Our task is to determine the solution for this inequality.

Initially, we will address each inequality independently, followed by merging the findings by combining the overlapping intervals.

-7x-50\leq -1

-7x-50+50\leq -1+50

-7x\leq 49

By dividing with a negative number, it is necessary to reverse the inequality sign:

\frac{-7x}{-7}\geq \frac{49}{-7}

x\geq -7

-6x+70>-2

-6x+70-70>-2-70

-6x>-72

Again, dividing by a negative requires flipping the inequality sign:

\frac{-6x}{-6}

x

In combining both intervals, we will arrive at:

-7\geq x

Thus, the solution for the inequality provided is -7\geq x and [-7,12) in interval notation.

Write three numbers for which you would use the hundreds place to compare to 35,712​
Leona [4187]

Answer:

  • 35,694
  • 35,981
  • 35,102

Step-by-step explanation:

If you compare numbers based on the hundreds digit, the digits to the left (thousands and ten-thousands) remain the same, while the hundreds digit differs.

This applies for any five-digit numbers structured like:

(3)(5)(not 7)(any digit)(any digit).

Digits to the right of the decimal point, as well as those in the tens and ones places, don't impact this comparison.

A mail clerk found that the total weight of 155 packages was 815 pounds. if each of the packages weighed either 3 pounds or 8 po
tester [3938]
To solve this problem, you'll need to create two equations:
x + y = 155 (total packages)
3x + 8y = 815 (total weight)
Next, multiply the first equation by 3: 3x + 3y = 465.
Then, subtract the first equation from the second to find that 5y = 350, which means y = 70. Thus, there are 70 packages that weigh 8 pounds.

Mindy, a local artist, sells a piece of art at the pizza shop for $15, and the shop takes 15 percent commission. Instead of rece
lawyer [4039]
To tackle this problem, we first need to ascertain the commission taken by the pizza shop and how much money belongs to Mindy. We know that Mindy sells her artwork for $15, and the pizza shop retains a 15% commission. Therefore, the commission is calculated as (15/100) * 15, which equals 2.25 dollars. This means the pizza shop deducts $2.25 from each art sale made by Mindy. Consequently, the amount Mindy receives is (15 - 2.25), resulting in $12.75. Since Mindy opts not for cash but instead chooses a pizza valued at $12, including a 5% sales tax, it seems she benefits by $0.75 plus the pizza worth $12. Therefore, this arrangement appears fair for Mindy. Meanwhile, the pizza shop also makes an additional $2.25 from this transaction, making it equitable for both Mindy and the shop owner.

At the local dairy farm, Kareem buys a 32-oz container of yogurt for $2.56. Jonah buys a 6-oz container of yogurt for $0.48. Are
Zina [3917]

Answer:

Yes, the cost y in dollars and the quantity of yogurt x are indeed proportional.

The relationship can be expressed as: y=0.08x


Step-by-step explanation:

1. If y varies directly with x, it can be represented as:

y=kx

Here, k represents the constant of proportionality.

2. We'll calculate the proportionality constant. Given that y=2.56 and x=32, we have:

y=kx\\k=\frac{y}{x}\\k=\frac{2.56}{32}\\k=0.08

3. Thus, the equation becomes:

y=0.08x

4. Now, we need to verify proportionality. Substituting x=6, which is the quantity of yogurt purchased by Jonah, we should arrive at $0.48:

y=0.08(6)\\y=0.48

5. They are indeed directly proportional.
