Rod smokes 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes per day. rod buys cigarettes by the carton. there are ten packs of cigarettes in each carton. if rod pays $35.80 per carton, how much does it cost him for each day of smoking?

It costs Rod $5.37 per day to smoke.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a carton costs 35.80 and there are 10 packs per carton

$35.80 /10 = 3.58 per pack

Rod smokes 1.5 packs per day

1.5 * 3.58 = $5.37

It costs Rod $5.37 per day to smoke.

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
