Step-by-step explanation:
7. Tyson obtained a loan from the bank at 7.5% simple interest for 2. 5 years. If the simple interest was
N$347.50, how much did he borrow?
8. Hilma invested N$20 000 on 01/01/2018 at 9.5 % interest p.a compounded semi-annually.
How much will she receive by 01/01/2022?
Answer:
7.He borrowed $1853.33
8.She received $28990.936
Step-by-step explanation:
7.Let x be the amount borrowed by Tyson
Rate of interest = 7.5%
Time = 2.5 years
Simple Interest = 347.50
Formula : [tex]Si = \frac{P \times T \times R}{100}[/tex]
Where SI = simple interest
P = Principal
T = Time
R = Rate of interest
Substitute the values in the formula :
[tex]347.50=\frac{x \times 2.5 \times 7.5}{100}\\\frac{347.50 \times 100}{2.5 \times 7.5}=x\\1853.33=x[/tex]
Hence he borrowed $1853.33
8) Principal = 20000
Rate of interest = 9.5%
No. of compounds per year = 2
Time = 4 years
Formula : [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})z^{nt}[/tex]
Where A= amount
r = Rate of interest
n = no. of compounds
t = time
Substitute the values in the formula :
So, [tex]A=20000(1+\frac{9.5}{200})^{2(4)}[/tex]
A=28990.936
Hence she received $28990.936
A bag contains some number of marbles. It is known that 20 of them are red. When 15 marbles are drawn, without replacement, we get 6 red. Assuming E(X)=6 red, what is the total number of marbles in the bag?
Answer:
The total number of marbles in the bag is 50.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we have n trials, without replacement. So the hypergeometric distribution is used.
The mean of the hypergeometric distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = \frac{n*k}{N}[/tex]
In which n is the number of items in the sample, k is the number of items in the population that are classified a success and N is the size of the population.
15 marbles are drawn:
This means that [tex]n = 15[/tex]
A bag contains some number of marbles. It is known that 20 of them are red.
This means that [tex]k = 20[/tex], since a success is drawing a red marble.
Assuming E(X)=6 red, what is the total number of marbles in the bag?
We have to find N when [tex]E(X) = 6[/tex]
So
[tex]E(X) = \frac{n*k}{N}[/tex]
[tex]6 = \frac{15*20}{N}[/tex]
[tex]6N = 300[/tex]
[tex]N = \frac{300}{6}[/tex]
[tex]N = 50[/tex]
The total number of marbles in the bag is 50.

Class width = 12.375
B. 21.34, 47, 60, 73, 86, 99. 112 is the lower class limit
Step-by-step explanation:
The first option is correct.
Parameter because the value is a numerical measurement describing a characteristic of population.
Parameter is a measure that describes the entire population.
Statistic basically describes a sample of the population.
From the given information , the entire 1700 professors at a college is the population and only 35 % own a television is a characteristic, called parameter, of population.
Another objective we are to find here is:
Use the given minimum and maximum data entries, and the number of classes, to find the class width, .
Class width = Maximum - Minimum /No of classes
Given that :
Maximum = 120
Minimum = 21
number of classes = 8
Then;
Class width = 120 - 21 /8
Class width = 12.375
From the given information :
B. 21.34, 47, 60, 73, 86, 99. 112 is the lower class limit
Calculate the length of the apothem of a regular polygon. A

rounded to the nearest inch? Recall that in a regular hexagon,
the length of the radius is equal to the length of each side of the
hexagon
10 in.
a
5 in
9 in
11 in
4 in
Answer:
9 in
Step-by-step explanation:
For an n-sided polygon, the length of the apothem is ...
a = r·cos(180°/n)
We assume your problem statement is saying the radius is 10 inches. For a hexagon, n=6 and we have ...
a = (10 in)cos(30°) ≈ 8.66 in
Rounded to the nearest inch, the apothem is 9 in.
. A certain coin is a circle with diameter 18 mm. What is the exact area of either face of the coin in terms of p?
Answer:
[tex] r =\frac{D}{2}=\frac{18mm}{2}= 9mm[/tex]
The area is given by:
[tex]A= \pi r^2[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] A=\pi (9mm)^2 =81\pi mm^2[/tex]
So then we can conclude that the area of the coin is [tex] 81\pi[/tex] mm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we know that we have a coin with a diamter of [tex] D =18mm[/tex], and by definition the radius is given by:
[tex] r =\frac{D}{2}=\frac{18mm}{2}= 9mm[/tex]
The area is given by:
[tex]A= \pi r^2[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] A=\pi (9mm)^2 =81\pi mm^2[/tex]
So then we can conclude that the area of the coin is [tex] 81\pi[/tex] mm^2
The relationship of variance and mean informs researchers about the spread of data. If a researcher calculates the mean abundance per unit area of a species, and then calculates the variance, the relationship between mean and variance will reflect the distribution pattern.
Which distribution pattern pictured below will have variance greater than the mean?
Answer:
The distribution pattern that will have variance greater than mean is one where the population of species is clustered and thus far from the mean abundance of species per unit area.
This distribution pattern can be found, using the POISSON distribution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Variance is a measure of dispersion while Mean is a measure of central tendency.
The mean is the average of all values (in this case, the abundance or concentration of species per unit area). It is the sum total of all values, divided by the number of values there are.
The variance of a given set of data, on the other hand, is a measure of the spread or distance or dispersal of the data from the mean. It measures the spread between each datum/value and the mean value.
The relationship between mean and variance surely reflects the pattern that the distribution will take. The kind of distribution pattern that will have a greater variance than mean is a Poisson distribution. Sample size is usually large here. Since the variance is greater than the mean, the population is a clustered or clumped distribution.
We know that if the probability of an event happening is 100%, then the event is a certainty. Can it be concluded that if there is a 50% chance of contracting a communicable disease through contact with an infected person, there would be a 100% chance of contracting the disease if 2 contacts were made with the infected person
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be "No". The further explanation is given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability (Keeping the disease out of 1 contact)
= [tex]0.5[/tex]
Probability (not keeping the disease out of 1 contact)
= [tex]1-0.5[/tex]
= [tex]0.5[/tex]
Now,
Probability (not keeping the disease out of 2 contact)
= Keeping the disease out of 1 contact × not keeping the disease out of 1 contact
On putting the estimated values, we get
= [tex]0.5\times 0.5[/tex]
= [tex]0.25[/tex]
So that,
Probability (Keeping the disease out of 2 contact)
= [tex]1-0.25[/tex]
= [tex]0.75 \ i.e., 75 \ percent[/tex]
∴ Not 100%

The following question involves a standard deck of 52 playing cards. In such a deck of cards there are four suits of 13 cards each. The four suits are: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. The 26 cards included in hearts and diamonds are red. The 26 cards included in clubs and spades are black. The 13 cards in each suit are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. This means there are four Aces, four Kings, four Queens, four 10s, etc., down to four 2s in each deck.
You draw two cards from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacing the first one before drawing the second. (a) Are the outcomes on the two cards independent? Why?
1. No. The events cannot occur together. 2. Yes. The events can occur together. 3. No. The probability of drawing a specific second card depends on the identity of the first card. 4. Yes. The probability of drawing a specific second card is the same regardless of the identity of the first drawn card.
(b) Find P(ace on 1st card and jack on 2nd). (Enter your answer as a fraction.)
(c) Find P(jack on 1st card and ace on 2nd). (Enter your answer as a fraction.)
(d) Find the probability of drawing an ace and a jack in either order. (Enter your answer as a fraction.)
Answer:
(a)No. The probability of drawing a specific second card depends on the identity of the first card.
(b)4/663
(c) 4/663
(d) 8/663
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)The events are not independent because we are drawing cards without replacement and the probability of drawing a specific second card depends on the identity of the first card.
(b) P(ace on 1st card and jack on 2nd).
[tex]P$(Ace on 1st card) =\dfrac{4}{52}\\ P$(Jack on 2nd card)=\dfrac{4}{51}\\\\$Therefore:\\P(ace on 1st card and jack on 2nd) =\dfrac{4}{52}\times \dfrac{4}{51}\\=\dfrac{4}{663}[/tex]
(c)P(jack on 1st card and ace on 2nd)
[tex]P$(Jack on 1st card) =\dfrac{4}{52}\\ P$(Ace on 2nd card)=\dfrac{4}{51}\\\\$Therefore:\\P(jack on 1st card and ace on 2nd) =\dfrac{4}{52}\times \dfrac{4}{51}\\=\dfrac{4}{663}[/tex]
(d)Probability of drawing an ace and a jack in either order.
We can either draw an ace first, jack second or jack first, ace second.
Therefore:
P(drawing an ace and a jack in either order) =P(AJ)+(JA)
From parts (b) and (c) above:
[tex]P$(jack on 1st card and ace on 2nd) =\dfrac{4}{663}\\P$(ace on 1st card and jack on 2nd) =\dfrac{4}{663}\\$Therefore:\\P(drawing an ace and a jack in either order)=\dfrac{4}{663}+\dfrac{4}{663}\\=\dfrac{8}{663}[/tex]

A can of beans has surface area 320cm squared . Its height is 14 cm. What is the radius of the circular top?
Steps:
All cans take on the shape of a cylinder, unless you have seen interesting shape of cans like a starfish.
The formula for surface area of a cylinder is
SA = 2πr2 + 2πrh
where:
r = radius
h = height
Since we know the surface area and height, we can plug them in. Note that we can factor out the 2π. You will see why we factor out 2π rather than 2πr.
2π(r2 + (20)r) = 396
2π(r2 + 20r) = 396
Divide both sides of the equation by 2π to isolate the r terms.
r2 + 20r = 63.025
Subtract 63.025 on both sides of the equation.
r2 + 20r - 63.025 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve for r:
r = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a
where:
a = 1
b = 20
c = -63.025
Plug in these values into the formula. You should get two solutions because of the plus/minus sign. Accept the positive value of r.

A pair of shoes usually sells for $70. If the shoes are 30% off, and sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the shoes, including tax?
Answer:
The total price of the shoes including tax is 51.45
Step-by-step explanation:
You could go about this 2 ways.
One way is if the shoes originally cost $70 and they are now 30% off, it basically means that the discounted price of the shoes is 70% of the original cost, which is $49. Then to find the total price including tax, you need to find 105% of 49, because you are adding 5% to the discounted price(100). When you do the math, you should get the answer 51.45.
The other way to do it is by first finding 30% of 70, which is 21, and then subtracting that from the original price(70) to get the discounted price, $49. Then you need to find 5% of 49 and then add that to 49 to find the total cost w/ tax, which is 51.45.

If Kyle uses 10 feet of wood to make the frame, what is the length of the frame? Write the answer in decimal form,
0.75
4.60
0.00
Answer:
3.75 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the frame is 3 times the width.
Let the width be x.
The length will be 3x.
Kyle uses 10 feet of wood to make the frame. This means that the perimeter is 10 feet.
The perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2(L + W)
=> 10 = 2(3x + x)
=> 10/2 = 4x
5 = 4x
=> x = 5/4 = 1.25 feet
The width is 1.25 feet. The length is therefore:
1.25 * 3 = 3.75 feet

The coefficient of determination gives you an idea of how much of the variability of the dependent variable (Y) is due to the explanatory variables. Each time you add another explanatory variable to the regression the coefficient increases regarding of real contribution of the new variable. This could lead to thinking (wrongly) that the new variables are good to explain the dependent variable.
The adjusted coefficient of determination is a correction made to the raw coefficient of determination to have a more unbiased estimation of the effect the independent variables have over the dependent variable.
⇒ As you can see both coefficient are around 50%, which means that these explanatory variables
c)
The standard error estimate, this is the estimate of the population variance of the errors. In the ANOVA is represented by the Mean Square of the errors (MME)
Se²= MME= 3837640577.01

d) and f)
For the hypotheses tests for each slope the t- and p-values are:
α: 0.05
β₁: [tex]t_{H_0}= \frac{b_1-\beta_1 }{Sb_1}[/tex] t= -0.06; p-value: 0.9528 ⇒ Do not reject H₀, the test is not significant.
β₂: [tex]t_{H_0}= \frac{b_2-\beta_2 }{Sb_2}[/tex] t= 2.56; p-value: 0.0180 ⇒ Reject H₀, the test is significant.
β₃: [tex]t_{H_0}= \frac{b_3-\beta_3 }{Sb_3}[/tex] t= 2.28; p-value: 0.0326 ⇒ Reject H₀, the test is significant.
e)
H₀: β₁= β₂= β₃
H₁: At least one βi is different from the others ∀ i=1, 2, 3
α: 0.05
F= 9.03
p-value: 0.0004
⇒ Reject H₀, the test is significant.
I hope it helps!
Really easy math question!
the answer is A: 146 ≤ 9c + 10
Jankord Jewelers permits the return of their diamond wedding rings, provided the return occurs within two weeks. Typically, 10 percent are returned. If eight rings are sold today, what is the probability that fewer than three will be returned
Answer:
[tex]P(X<3) =[/tex] [tex]0.9619[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information;
the probability of getting returned p = 0.1
If eight rings are sold today, what is the probability that fewer than three will be returned;
According to binomial distribution
Binomial distribution is the probability of success or failure of an outcome of an experiment under observation which is usually repeated several trials. Binomial experiments are random experiment with fixed number of repeated experiment. If we cannot predict before head, the outcome of an experiment , the experiment is called a random experiment.
So , using binomial distribution to determine the probability that fewer than three will be returned;
i.e
[tex]P(X<3) =[/tex] [tex]\sum_{x=0}^{2}\binom{8}{x}(0.1)^{x}(1-0.1)^{8-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X<3) =[/tex] [tex]0.9619[/tex]
