Answer:

Investment A = 3650

Investment B = 1350

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total interest earned = 332.50

Total Principal invested = 5000

Investment A:

Rate = 8%

Time = 1 year

Principal = a

Interest earned = 0.08a

Investment B:

Rate = 3%

Time = 1 year

Principal = b

Interest earned = 0.03b

a + b = 5000 ____(1)

0.08a + 0.03b = 332.50 - - - (2)

From (1)

a = 5000 - b

Into (2)

0.08(5000 - b) + 0.03b = 332.50

400 - 0.08b + 0.03b = 332.50

400 - 0.05b = 332.50

-0.05b = - 67.5

b = $1350

a = 5000 - b

a = 5000 - 1350

a = $3650

You consider yourself a bit of an expert at playing rock-paper-scissors and estimate that the probability that you win any given

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

a) 0.37

b) 0.421

c) 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the probability of winning a game is binomial (P = 0.5) the expected value for number of winning when you play 60 games is

$\mu = 60*0.5 = 30$

And the standard deviation:

$\sigma = 60*0.5*0.5 = 15$

a) the cumulative probability of winning at least 35 games is

$P(X \geq 35) = 1 - P(X < 35) = 1 - 0.631 = 0.37$

b) $P(X < 27) = 0.421$

c) $P(30 \leq X \leq 40) = P(X \leq 40) - P(X \leq 30) = 0.75 - 0.5 = 0.25$

It is given that y varies inversely as x^2. If x is decreased by 50%, find the percentage change in y.

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

300%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{x^2}$

Required

Find the percentage change in y when x decreased by 50%

First, convert to equation

$y\ = \ \frac{k}{x^2}$

Where k is the constant of proportionality

When x decreased by 50%

$Y = \frac{k}{(x - 0.5x)^2}$

$Y = \frac{k}{(0.5x)^2}$

$Y = \frac{k}{0.25x^2}$

Expand

$Y = \frac{1}{0.25} * \frac{k}{x^2}$

Substitute $\frac{k}{x^2}$ for y

$Y = \frac{1}{0.25} * y$

$Y = 4 * y$

$Y = 4 y$

The percentage change is then calculated as:

$\%Change = \frac{Y - y}{y} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{4y - y}{y} * 100\%$

$\%Change = \frac{3y}{y} * 100\%$

$\%Change = 3 * 100\%$

$\%Change = 300\%$

<em>The percentage in y is 300%</em>

Arada [10]

Answer:

The answer will be 0.666 repeating.

Step-by-step explanation:

4/6 = 0.6666.....

Since the numerator (4) is smalled than the denominator(6) the answer will be a decimal.

when 4 is divided by 6 it will gives us 0.66666667....
