Brandi earned $135 from a summer job to buy new clothes for school. She found several items she would like to buy, but is trying to decide if she has enough money to buy all the items she likes. She found two pairs of shorts for $25 each and four shirts with an average cost of $19 per shirt. She will have to pay 7 1/2% sales tax. Part A: If she buys all of the items, how much sales tax will she have to pay?
The sales tax for Brandi’s purchase will be $

85.560%

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560

step-by-step explanation:

divide 13.5 by 9 to get the scale factor. it equals 1.5

2 * 1.5 = 3
