Answer:80 meters

Step-by-step explanation: 24 meters = 36 secs

2 mins = 120 secs

Cross multiply

24×120/36

= 80 meters

Hope I helped you!!

we know that

In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant

This problem is an Arithmetic Sequence

where

the first term is $23$

and

the common difference is $-2$

In general we can write an Arithmetic Sequence as a rule

$an=a1+d*(n-1)$

where

a1 is the first term

d is the common difference

$a1=23\\\\ d=-2$

$an=a1+d*(n-1)\\ \\ a7=23+(-2)*[7-1]\\ \\\\ a7=23-12\\ \\\\ a7=11$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$11\ tiles$

Suppose that – in any given time period – a certain stock is equally likely to go up 1 unit or down 1 unit, and that the outcome

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let X represent the amount of the stock that goes up in the first period; &

Let Y denote the cumulative amount that goes up in the first three periods.

Then,

$X= X_1 + X_2 \\ \\ \\EX= EX_1 +EX_2\\ \\\\Now ; EX = 0 \\ \\ EX = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times -1 \\ \\ EX = \dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2} \\ \\ EX = 0$

$Cov(x,y) = Var(X_1) +Var(X_2) \\ \\ =\dfrac{1}{2}(1+1) + \dfrac{1}{2}(1+1) \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{2}(2)+ \dfrac{1}{2}(2) \\ \\ = 1+1 \\ \\ =2$

$Var (X) = Var (X_1+X_2)\\ \\ = 2 \ Var(X_1) \\ \\ = 2 \times (1) \\ \\ = 2$

$Var (Y) = Var (X_1 +X_2+X_3) \\ \\ = 3 \times Var(X_1) = \\ \\ = 3 \times 1\\ \\ = 3$

∴

$Corr(x,y) = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{6}} \\ \\ = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt{2\times 3}} \\ \\= \sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}$

give an example on an addition problem in which you would and would not group the addends differently to add

Murrr4er [49]

Addends are any of the numbers added together in an equation.

The only time their grouping would matter would be if there were parentheses used to alter the normal Order of Operations.

For ex:
2 - (8 + 3) here, the 8 and 3 have to be grouped together before doing the subtraction.

Any addition problem without parentheses can be used for one where the grouping doesn't matter

Mr Chua borrows a sum of money from the bank which charges a compound interest of 4.2% per annum, compounded 6.Given that Mr Chu

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Original sum of money = $2246.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest = $96.60

Interest is compounded 6 times in a year ; n = 6

time = 1 year ; Rate of interest (r) = 4.2%

Interest = Future Value - Principal Value ...........(1)

$\text{Future Value = }Principal\cdot (1+\frac{r}{100\times n})^{n\cdot t}\\\\\text{Substituting this value in equation (1) , We get }\\\\Interest=Principal\cdot (1+\frac{r}{100\times n})^{n\cdot t}-Principal\\\\\implies 96.60=Principal[\cdot (1+\frac{4.2}{100\times 6})^{6\cdot 1}-1]\\\\\implies Principal=\$2246.51$

Hence, the original sum of money borrowed = $2246.51
