1)
Debra is looking for the best deal on a king-size mattress that has a wholesale price of $369. Help her compare the price of the mattress in different situations by completing the following. (a) Debra can go to a specialty store that she knows has the mattress. This specialty store gets it from a distributor who marks up the wholesale price 20%. Then the specialty store marks it up by an additional 50%. Ignoring tax, how much would Debra pay for the mattress at this specialty store? $ (b) Debra can also buy the mattress from a distributor that does direct-to-customer sales. When selling directly to individual customers, this distributor marks up the wholesale price 70%. Ignoring tax, how much would Debra pay for the mattress if she gets it from this distributor? 3 (c) Select the true statement. O Debra would pay less for the mattress if she gets it at the specialty store. O Debra would pay less for the mattress if she gets it directly from the distributor. O Debra would pay the same amount if she gets the mattress from the distributor or at the specialty store. A private college advertised that last year their freshman students, on average, had a score of 1160 on the college entrance exam. Assuming that average refers to the mean, which of the following claims must be true based on this information? Note: More than one statement could be true. If none of the statements is true, mark the appropriate box. 0 Next year some of their freshman students will have a score of at least 1160 on the exam. Last year, the number of their freshman students who had a score of less than 1160 on the exam was equal to the O number of their freshman students who had a score of more than 1160 on the exam. 0 Last year at least one of their freshman students had a score of exactly 1160 on the exam. 0 Last year at least one of their freshman students had a score of more than 950 on the exam. 0 Last year all of their freshman students had a score of at least 1160 on the exam.
