All computers are on sale for 10% off the original price. If x is the original price of the computer, then the function that rep

resents the price after only a 10% discount is: P(x) = x - 0.1x P(x) = 0.9x The function that gives the price, C, if only a $150 coupon is used is: C(x) = x - 150 Choose the composition function that gives the final sale price after a 10% discount is followed by a $150 coupon. C(P(x)) = 0.9x – 150 P(C(x)) = 0.9x – 150 C(P(x)) = 1.9x – 150 P(C(x)) = 1.9x – 150

To determine the original price, denoted as "x", the price after applying a 10% discount is calculated as P(x) = 0.9x.

Using a coupon of $150 subtracts from the price, yielding C(x) = x - 150.

At the store, the item is 10% off, meaning you essentially pay 90% of its original price, or 0.9x. However, you also have a $150 coupon at your disposal, resulting in a final payment of 0.9x - 150, representing the 10% discount plus the coupon deduction.

Thus, C(P(x)) = P(x) - 150

C(P(x)) = 0.9x - 150

C(P(x)) = 0.9x – 150 is the right choice.

Svet_ta [12734]

Given the three integers are a,b,c, we arrive at

\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=1

We can merge the fractions on the left side:

\dfrac{bc}{abc}+\dfrac{ac}{abc}+\dfrac{ab}{abc}=\dfrac{bc+ac+ab}{abc}=1

\implies abc=bc+ac+ab

You ride your bicycle 40 meters. How many complete revolutions does the front wheel make?
Inessa [12570]
Initially, we convert the given radius of the wheel into meters, resulting in 0.325 m. Next, we compute the circumference.
C = 2πrr
By inserting the values,
C = 2π(0.325 m) = 2.04 m
Given a distance of 40 m for the road, we calculate the total number of complete revolutions as follows:
n = 40/2.04 m = 20.

Suppose the area that can be painted using a single can of spray paint is slightly variable and follows a nearly normal distribu
zzz [12365]

Response:

Detailed explanation:

Greetings!

You have the variable

X: Area eligible for painting with a can of spray paint (feet²)

This variable is normally distributed with a mean of μ= 25 feet² and a standard deviation of δ= 3 feet²

As this variable has a normal distribution, it needs to be converted into the standard normal form to utilize tabulated cumulative probabilities.

a.

P(X>27)

The first step involves standardizing the X value using Z= (X-μ)/ δ ~N(0;1)

P(Z>(27-25)/3)

P(Z>0.67)

Having determined the Z value, you can find it in the table, but since the table includes probabilities for P(Z, the following conversion must be applied:

P(Z>0.67)= 1 - P(Z≤0.67)= 1 - 0.74857= 0.25143

b.

A sample of 20 cans was taken, and you need to ascertain the probability of averaging a coverage area of 540 feet².

The sample mean maintains the same distribution as its source variable, but its variance is influenced by sample size, thus it is normally distributed with parameters:

X[bar]~N(μ;δ²/n)

To cover 540 feet² with 20 cans, the average coverage must be approximately 540/20= 27 feet² per can.

c.

P(X≤27) = P(Z≤(27-25)/(3/√20))= P(Z≤2.98)= 0.999

d.

No, if the distribution is not normal and skewed, the normal distribution should not be applied for calculating probabilities. While the central limit theorem might approximate the sampling distribution to normal when the sample size is 30 or larger, that isn’t applicable here.

I trust this information is helpful!

A bag contains chips of which 27.5 percent are blue. A random sample of 5 chips will be selected one at a time and with replacem
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

\mu _{\hat{p}}= 0.275\\\\ \sigma_{\hat{p}}=0.1997

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion(\hat{p}) are represented as follows:-

\mu _{\hat{p}}=p\\\\ \sigma_{\hat{p}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

, where p= Population proportion and n = sample size.

Let p denote the proportion of blue chips.

According to the information provided, we have

p= 0.275

n= 5

Thus, the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of blue chips for samples of size 5 will be:

\mu _{\hat{p}}= 0.275\\\\ \sigma_{\hat{p}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{ 0.275(1- 0.275)}{5}}\\\\=0.19968725547\approx0.1997

Therefore, you will have the mean and standard deviation for the sample proportion of blue chips for samples of size 5:

\mu _{\hat{p}}= 0.275\\\\ \sigma_{\hat{p}}=0.1997
