Answer:

Answer C: Becky is 27; John is 31

Step-by-step explanation:

1. John is 4 years older than Becky--27(Becky's age)+ 4=31(John's age)

2. Sum of their ages is 58--27(Becky's age)+31(John's age)=58

So, the correct answer is Answer C.

A quadratic pattern has a second term equal to 1,a third term equal to -16 and a fifth term equal to -14

chubhunter [2.5K]

Given are several terms in a quadratic pattern:

a1 = ?
a2 = 1
a3 = -16
a4 = ?
a5 = -14

let:

x y
1 ?
2 1
3 -16
4 ?
5 -14

considering the 2nd term and 3rd term, we can determine a quadratic function:

y = -17x + 35

therefore,

a1 = 18
a4 = -33

Answer:

The value is $P(A) = 0.133617$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mean is $\mu = 7.5$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 0.2$

The safest water level is between 7.2 and 7.8

Generally the probability that the selected pool has a pH level that is not considered safe is mathematically represented as

$P(A) = 1 - P(7.2 \le X \le 7.8 )$

Here

$P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) = P(\frac{ 7.2 - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma }$

Generally $\frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of X )$

So

$P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) = P(\frac{ 7.2 - 7.5 }{0.2 } < Z$

$P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) = P(-1.5 < Z$

=> $P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) = P(Z < 1.5) - P( Z < - 1.5)$

From the z-table the probability of (Z < -1.5) and ( Z <1.5) are

$P(Z < 1.5) = 0.93319$

and

$P(Z < -1.5) = 0.066807$

So

$P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) =0.93319 - 0.066807$

$P(7.2 < X < 7.8 ) =0.0866383$

So

$P(A) = 1 - 0.0866383$

=> $P(A) = 0.133617$

A customer borrowed $2000 and then a further $1000 both repayable in 12 months. What should he have saved if he had taken out on

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

a. $60

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use simple interest formula to solve our given problem.

$A=P(1+rt)$ , where

A= Amount after t years.

P= Principal amount.

r= Interest rate in decimal form.

t= Time in years.

Let us find amount of loans repayable after 12 months for taking two amounts of $2000 and $1000.

As $2000 and $1000 are less than 2500, so the rate of loan will be 10%.

$10\%=\frac{10}{100}=0.10$

12 months = 1 year.

$A=2000(1+0.10\times 1)$

$A=2000(1+0.10)$

$A=2000(1.10)$

$A=2200$

Now let us find amount repayable after 12 months for borrowing $1000.

$A=1000(1+0.10\times 1)$

$A=1000(1+0.10)$

$A=1000(1.10)$

$A=1100$

Adding these amounts we will get total repayable amount after 12 months for borrowing $2000 and $1000 separately.

$\text{Amount repayable for borrowing two separate amounts}=2200+1100=3300$

Now let us find repayable amount after 12 months for taking 1 loan. As $3000 is between $2501 and $7500, so rate of loan will be 8%.

$8\%=\frac{8}{100}=0.08$

$A=3000(1+0.08\times 1)$

$A=3000(1+0.08)$

$A=3000(1.08)$

$A=3240$

Now let us find difference between both repayable loan amounts.

$\text{Difference between both repayable loan amounts}=3300-3240$

$\text{Difference between both repayable loan amounts}=60$

Therefore, the customer should have saved $60, if he had taken out one loan for $3000 and option a is the correct choice.
