Luke has 1/5 of a package of dried apricots. He divides the dried apricots equally into 4 small bags. Luke gives one of the bags

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

3/80

Step-by-step explanation:

If one fifth of apricots are split into 4 parts, each bag has 1/5 * 1/4 of the original apricots

1/5 * 1/4 = 1/20

Luke keeps 3/4 of those so that's

3/4 * 1/20 = 3/80

in a circle graph above you can see that 47 percent of the companys monthly income is used to pay the owners personal salary if

Marizza181 [45]

The first thing you have to do is to divide the personal income by the percen it takes up

<span>2,176.10/47=46.3

that means that 46.3 is 1% of the whole, so if we multiply it by 100 you will get the whole
</span>
46.3*100=4630

so the answer is

A portfolio has average return of 13.2 percent and standard deviation of returns of 18.9 percent. Assuming that the portfolioi's

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

B. 0.835

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the z-scores and the standard normal distribution to calculate this probability.

We have a normal distribution for the portfolio return, with mean 13.2 and standard deviation 18.9.

We have to calculate the probability that the portfolio's return in any given year is between -43.5 and 32.1.

Then, the z-scores for X=-43.5 and 32.1 are:

$z_1=\dfrac{X_1-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{(-43.5)-13.2}{18.9}=\dfrac{-56.7}{18.9}=-3\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{X_2-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{32.1-13.2}{18.9}=\dfrac{18.9}{18.9}=1\\\\\\$

Then, the probability that the portfolio's return in any given year is between -43.5 and 32.1 is:

$P(-43.5$

A candle manufacturer sells cylindrical candles in sets of three. Each candle in the set is a different size. The smallest candl

mars1129 [50]

Each candle in the set is a different size.
The smallest candle has a radius of 0.5 inches and a height of 3 inches.
The other two candles are scaled versions of the smallest, with scale factors of 2 and 3.
How much wax is needed to create one set of candles?
in cubic inches
Answer

pi 0.5^2 *3 = 0.75pi is the volume of the first candle.
The second volume is 8 * 0.75pi = 6pi.
And the last volume is 27 * 0.75 pi = 20.25 pi So in total we just take the sum and that is 27pi

Consider the probability distribution of x, where x is the number of job applications completed by a college senior through the

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The expected number out of 1000 selected college seniors that completed 1 job application through the career centers is given by 0.011 x 1000 = 11 which is close to 14.

The expected number out of 1000 selected college seniors that completed 2 job application through the career centers is given by 0.115 x 1000 = 115 which is far away from 15.

The expected number out of 1000 selected college seniors that completed 3 job application through the career centers is given by 0.123 x 1000 = 123 which is close to 130.

Therefore, the result that would be suprising is "15 seniors completed 2 job applications through the career center."
