Answer:

27.19% probability that a female driver was involved in an accident

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

74,250 car accidents. Of those, in 20,187, the driver was a female.

Based on this, what is the probability that a female driver was involved in an accident?

p = 20187/74250 = 0.2719

27.19% probability that a female driver was involved in an accident

Josh has $500 in his savings account. He deposits $25 into his savings account each month. He purchased home theater equipment f
zzz [600]

Answer:

  B. 10 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The balance on the loan will be ...

  b = 1600 - 80t . . . . . . where t is the number of months of payments

The balance in the savings account will be ...

  s = 500 + 25t

The savings account balance will be at least as much as the loan balance when ...

  s ≥ b

  500 +25t ≥ 1600 -80t . . . substitute the account balance expressions

  105t ≥ 1100 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 80t -500

  t ≥ 1100/105 ≈ 10.48 ≈ 10

It will take Josh 10 months to have enough savings to pay the loan in full.

_____

<em>Comment on rounding</em>

IMO, it makes no sense to round down, as Josh will NOT have enough in 10 months. He will have enough after he makes one more payment of $80. At 10 months, the loan balance is $50 more than the savings balance. It will be 11 months before there is enough savings to pay off the loan.

Helena uses a mixture of compost and topsoil in her garden. She purchased a total of 10 cubic yards of compost and topsoil for $
Annette [7]

Let C be the amount of compost

T be the amount of  topsoil

Each compost cost = $25

Cost of C compost = 25C

Each topsoil cost = $15

Cost of T topsoil = 15T

Amount of compost + amount of topsoil = 10

C + T = 10 -------> Equation 1

cost of C compost + cost of T topsoil = 180

25C + 15T = 180 --------> equation 2

Solve  the first equation for C

C + T = 10

C = 10 - T

Now plug it in second equation

25C + 15T = 180

25 ( 10 - T) +15T = 180

250 - 25T + 15T = 180 (combine like terms)

250 - 10 T = 180 (Subtract 250 on both sides)

-10T = 180 - 250

-10T = -70 ( divide by -10 on both sides)

T = 7

She purchased  7 cubic yards of topsoil .

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The average rate of change is 1.275

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of f(x) from x=a to x=b is given by:

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

The money Terry invested is modeled by the function f(x)=0.01(2)^x where x represents number of days.

The average rate of change from day 2 to day 10 is given by:

\frac{f(10)-f(2)}{10-2}

f(10)=0.01(2)^{10}=10.24

f(2)=0.01(2)^{2}=0.04

The average rate of change becomes:

\frac{10.24-0.04}{8}

=\frac{10.2}{8}=1.275
