Answer:

First look at the number of bricks alone.

Going from 50 bricks to 60 bricks is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 60/50

Next look at the time alone.

Going from 30 minutes to 20 minutes is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 30/20

Now you can just multiply everything.

= 5*60/50*30/20

= 5*6/5*3/2

= 90\10

= 9.

Jackson goes to the gym 0, 2, or 3 days per week, depending on work demands. The expected value of the number of days per week t
valina [46]

For a probability distribution the expected value is the summation of product of probabilities with their respective data values. Let x be the probability that Jackson goes gym for 2 days and y be the probability that he goes gym for 3 days.

For the given case we have following values and their probabilities:

0 : 0.1

2 : x

3 : y

So the expected value will be = 0(0.1) + 2(x) + 3(y)

Expected value is given to be 2.05. So we can write the equation as:

2x + 3y = 2.05 (Equation 1)

Also for a probability distribution, the sum of probabilities must always equal to 1. So we can set up the second equation as:

0.1 + x + y = 1

x + y = 0.9 (Equation 2)

From Equation 2 we can write the value of x to be x = 0.9 - y. Using this value in equation 1, we get:

2(0.9 - y) + 3y = 2.05

1.8 - 2y + 3y = 2.05

1.8 + y = 2.05

y = 0.25

Using the value of y in equation 2 we get value of x to be 0.65

Therefore we can conclude that:

The probability that Jackson goes to gym for 2 days is 0.65 and the probability that he goes to gym for 3 days is 0.25

Devin borrowed $1,058 at 13 percent for nine months. What will he pay in interest?
Viktor [21]

Devin borrowed $1,058 at 13 percent for nine months.

We have to calculate the interest paid.

Interest = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}

Substituting the values of

Principal = $1058

Rate = 13%

Time = 9 months = \frac{9}{12} year

Interest = \frac{1058 \times 13 \times 9}{12 \times 100}

Interest = 103.155

= 103.16

So, Devin will pay 103.16 as the interest.

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
