Please help I don't understand this problem. I need to get this done by tonight.

Question 1 (1 point) The yearly interest payable on a deposit of $250 at 5.5% p.a. simple interest is: A $137.50 B $13.75 C $12.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

B: $13.75

Step-by-step explanation:

5.5% of $250 = $13.75

Therefore, the simple interest is $13.75.

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) warn the driver when the tire pressure of the vehicle is 28% below the target pressure.

Alona [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The monitoring system warn the driver when the tire pressure of the vehicle is 28% below target pressure.

Be X: target tire pressure of a certain car (pounds per square inch)

a)

X= 28 psi

If the monitoring system will warn the driver when the pressure is 28% below the target pressure: X-0.28X

First step, you have to calculate the 28% of 28psi

28*0.28= 7.84

Second step, is to subtract the calculated 28% to the target pressure:

28 - 7.84= 20.16

The TPMS will trigger a warning at 20.16 psi.

b)

If X~N(μ;σ²)

μ= 28psi (since the average is on target, then the target pressure for the car will be the average value of the distribution)

σ= 3psi

P(X≤20.16)

The standard normal distribution is tabulated. Any value of any random variable X with normal distribution can be "converted" by subtracting the variable from its mean and dividing it by its standard deviation.

So to calculate each of the asked probabilities, you have to first, "transform" the value of the variable to a value of the standard normal distribution Z, then you use the standard normal tables to reach the corresponding probability.

Z= (X-μ)/σ= (20.16-28)/3= -2.61

Now you have to look for the corresponding value of probability using the Z-table. Since the value is negative you have to the use the left entry of the Z-table, in the first column you'll find the integer and first decimal of the value -2.6- and in the first row you'll find the second decimal value -.-1

The value of probability that corresponds to -2.61 is:

P(Z≤-2.61)= 0.005

c)

You have to calculate the probability of inspecting a tire at random and it being inflated within recommended range, symbolically this is:

P(30≤X≤26)= P(X≤30)-P(X≤26)

Calculate both Z values:

Z= (30-28)/3= 0.67

Z= (26-28)/3= -0.67

P(Z≤0.67)-P(Z≤-0.67)= 0.749 - 0.251= 0.498

The probability of the tire being inflated within recommended inflation range is 0.498.

I hope this helps!

Line JM intersects line GK at point N. Which statements are true about the figure? Check all that apply.

ki77a [65]

See attached image

First, we must know this: Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is equal to 90°, while supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is equal to 180°. That been said, the only statement which is true is the second statement, <span>MNL is complementary to KNL

Reasons why others are False
</span>GNJ is supplementary to JNK, not complementary
MNG is supplementary to GNJ, not complementary
LNJ (not KNJ) <span>is supplementary to MNL
</span>GNM is equal to JNK, not supplementary

An inch represents what percent of a foot?

Kazeer [188]

There are 12 inches in a foot. So 1 inch is 1/12 of a foot :)

An anthropologist finds that a prehistoric bone contains less than 8.1% of the amount of Carbon-14 the bones would have containe

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

20,944 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula you use for this type of decay problem is the one that uses the decay constant as opposed to the half life in years. We are given the k value of .00012. If we don't know how much carbon was in the bones when the person was alive, it would be safer to say that when he was alive he had 100% of his carbon. What's left then is 8.1%. Because the 8.1% is left over from 100% after t years, we don't need to worry about converting that percent into a decimal. We can use the 8.1. Here's the formula:

$N(t)=N_{0} e^{-kt}$

where N(t) is the amount left over after the decay occurs, $N_{0}$ is the initial amount, -k is the constant of decay (it's negative cuz decay is a taking away from as opposed to a giving to) and t is the time in years. Filling in accordingly,

$8.1=100e^{-.00012t}$

Begin by dividing the 100 on both sides to get

$.081=e^{-.00012t}$

Now take the natural log of both sides. Since the base of a natual log is e, natural logs and e "undo" each other, much like taking the square root of a squared number.

ln(.081)= -.00012t

Take the natual log of .081 on your calculator to get

-2.513306124 = -.00012t

Now divide both sides by -.00012 to get t = 20,944 years
