Jayden has been reading a 275275275-page book for English class. On average, he has read about 101010 pages in 151515 minutes (\

text{min})(min)left parenthesis, m, i, n, right parenthesis. With a deadline looming, Jayden realizes that he won't finish in time unless he skims through the rest of the book. If he skims the book, he can cover 151515 pages in 10\,\text{min}10min10, space, m, i, n. If it takes Jayden 555 hours and 50\,\text{min}50min50, space, m, i, n to finish the book (reading and skimming combined), how many pages did Jayden have to skim through?

First let's define variables:
 r: reading
 s: skimming
 We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem:
 r + s = 275
 (15/10) r + (10/15) s = 355
 We solve the system of equations:
 r = 206
 s = 69
 Note: see attached image for system solution.
 Answer: 
 Jayden had to skim 69 pages through

Suppose there is a 20% chance of rain on Monday and a 40% chance of rain on Tuesday. Assuming the weather on successive days is
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a. 52%

b. 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represents the event of raining on Monday and B represents the event of raining in Tuesday,

Then according to the question,

P(A) = 20% = 0.2,

P(B) = 40% = 0.4,

Here, A and B are independent events,

So, P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B),

⇒ P(A∩B) = 0.2 × 0.4 = 0.08

We know that,

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

a. The probability it rains on Monday or Tuesday, P(A∪B) = 0.2 + 0.4 - 0.08

= 0.52

= 52%

b. The conditional probability it rains on Tuesday given that it rained on Monday,

P(\frac{B}{A})=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.08}{0.2}=0.4 = 40\%

Use the table to answer the question. House A $124,270 Annual appreciation 4% House B $114,270 Annual appreciation 5% In which o
Varvara68 [4.7K]
For the house A we have:
 f (x) = 124270 (1.04) ^ x
 Evaluating for 7, 8, 9 and 10 we have:
 f (7) = 124270 (1.04) ^ 7 = 163530.8422
 f (8) = 124270 (1.04) ^ 8 = 170072.0759
 f (9) = 124270 (1.04) ^ 9 = 176874.9589
 f (10) = 124270 (1.04) ^ 10 = 183949.9573

 For house B we have:
 
f (x) = 114270 (1.05) ^ x
 Evaluating for 7, 8, 9 and 10 we have:
 f (7) = 114270 (1.05) ^ 7 = 160789.3653
 f (8) = 114270 (1.05) ^ 8 = 168828.8336
 f (9) = 114270 (1.05) ^ 9 = 177270.2752
 f (10) = 114270 (1.05) ^ 10 = 186133.789

 We observe that for years 7 and 8 the value of house A is greater than the value of house B.

The expression 10,785(1.0275)x represents the amount of money in an investment account with interest that compounds annually for
Ksivusya [100]

Answer: It shows the formula for "Amount" using the compound interest formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The expression :

10785(1.0275)^x

So, it can be rewritten as

10785(1+0.0275)^x\\\\=10785(1+\dfrac{2.75}{100})^x

Here, initial investment = $ 10785

Rate of interest = 2.75%

Number of years = x

So, it shows the formula for "Amount" using the compound interest formula.

Suppose you are told that a distribution is said to be approximately normal because outliers have skewed the data. List the poss
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Outline are values which are entirely different from those remaining values in a data set. These extreme values can skew an approximately normal distribution by skewing the distribution in the direction of the outliers and this makes it difficult for the data set to be analyzed.

Its effect is such that the mean becomes extremely sensitive to extreme outliers making it possible that the mean is this not a representative of the population and this theoretically affects the standard deviation.
