Given:
Day | Sales (in $) |
Monday | 1520 |
Tuesday | 1945 |
Wednesday | 0 |
Thursday | 2010 |
Friday | 2485 |
Saturday | 0 |
Sunday | 1625 |
Total | 9585 |
(F) $574.14
(G) $623.03
(H) $655.49
(J)$703.68
Calculation:
The objective of the question is to find the weekly commission gained by a salesman when he gets 6.5% commission on each sale that he facilitates.

Monday | 1520 | 98.8 |
Tuesday | 1945 | 126.425 |
Wednesday | 0 | 0 |
Thursday | 2010 | 130.65 |
Friday | 2485 | 161.525 |
Saturday | 0 | 0 |
Sunday | 1625 | 105.625 |
Total | 9585 | 623.025 |
The commission is 6.25% of total sales.
Calculate the commission for each day using the formula

They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees. She thinks that the probability of not getting exactly two aces is greater. The sample space of possible outcomes is listed below. A represents an ace, and K represents a king.
