Answer:

t= 12.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Value after t years = initial value ( 1 - r )^t

Where,

Value after t years= $5000

Initial value = $22,400

r= depreciation rate = 11%

t= length of time (years)

Value after t years = initial value ( 1 - r )^t

5000 = 22,400 ( 1 - 0.11)^t

5000 = 22,400(0.89)^t

Divide both sides by 22,400

(0.89)^t = 5000 / 22,400

(0.89)^t = 0.2232

Take the log of both sides

t log 0.89 = log 0.2232

t= log 0.2232 / log 0.89

= -0.6513 / -0.0506

= 12.87

t= 12.9 years

Iesha’s quality-control manager told her she must have 97% of her clocks functioning properly. She found a report that said 6 ou
german

Answer:

  • Keisha’s experimental probability is 1/50.
  • When the inventory is 4000 clocks, the prediction is that 3920 clocks will work.
  • Keisha will have more than 97% of the products working.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are three prediction that Keisha can make based on the report that said 6 of 300 clocks tested weren't working.

Base on that information, Keisha can calculate an experimental probability, dividing <em>clocks that don't work properly </em>by <em>the total amount of clocks</em><em>:</em>

<em>P_{clocks} = \frac{6}{300}=\frac{1}{50} = 0.02 (or 2\%)</em>

Therefore, the probability of success is 100% - 2% = 98%.

This means that Keisha has a probability of having 98% of all clocks functioning properly. So, she can make the prediction:<em> from 4000 clocks, 3920 will work. </em>Also, she can predict that she will actually have more than 97% working, because the experimental probability is higher than that.

In my fish tank, the ratio of red fish to blue fish is 3:5. There are 20 blue fish. How many red fish are there?
nataly862011 [7]
