I wonder if this is not a trick question. It says he owns his own truck. That would mean no payment. Plus there doesn't seem to be enough info. Like how long has he had the loan? Just a thought maybe it's $0

Answer:

Ron's principal balance at the start of June was $22,909.09

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E are the earnings(interest), P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time, in years.

In this problem, we have that:

His June interest is $210, so E = 210.

The current rate of interest is 11%, so I = 0.11

June has 30 days, and we are assuming 360 days an year. So t = \frac{30}{360} = \frac{1}{12}

We want to find P

E = P*I*t

210 = P*0.11*\frac{1}{12}

0.009166P = 210

P = 22,909.09

Ron's principal balance at the start of June was $22,909.09

A group of 40 people went to the theme park. While there, each person bought popcorn. Regular bags of popcorn sold for $6 per ba
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

17 regular popcorn bags and 23 super size bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

A group of 40 people went to the theme park. While there, each person bought popcorn.

Let the regular popcorn bags be = x

Let the super size bags be = y

x+y=40        ................(1)

Next equation becomes:

6x+8y=286        ...............(2)

Multiplying (1) by 6 : 6x+6y=240

Now subtracting this from (2) we get,

2y=46

=> y = 23

And x = 40-23

=> x = 17

So, there were 17 regular popcorn bags and 23 super size bags that the group bought.

A company is in the business of finding addresses of long-lost friends. The company claims to have a 70% success rate. Suppose t
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

c) For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=9, p=0.7)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Part a

For this case we can use the following R code:

> x <- seq(0,9,by = 1)

> y <- dbinom(x,9,0.7)

> plot(x,y,main="Histogram",type = "h")

And we can see on the figure attached the solution.

We see that the higher probabilities are from 4 to 9

Part b

The expected value is given by:

E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

The variance is given by:

Var (X) =\sigma^2= np(1-p) = 9*0.7*(1-0.7)= 1.89

And the standard deviation is:

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

Part c

First we can find the probability that at least two addresses will be found in the list of 9 that we have like this:

P(X \geq 2)

We can use the complement rule and we have:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

We find the indicidual probabilities:

P(X=0)=(9C0)(0.7)^0 (1-0.7)^{9-0}=0.00001968

P(X=1)=(9C1)(0.7)^1 (1-0.7)^{9-1}=0.000413

P(X \geq 2) = 1-[0.00001968+0.000413]=0.9996

If we use the case of n=8 and we find P(X\leq 2), we got:

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9987

For the case n= 7

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9962

For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

For the line that has the equation 4x1 + 8x2 = 88, an axis intercept is:
dmitriy555 [2]
The given equation is
4x + 8x² = 88

That is,
8x² + 4x - 88 = 0
or
2x² + x - 22 = 0
The x-axis intercepts are determined by the solution of the quadratic equation as
x = (1/4) [-1 +/- √(1+176)] = 3.076 or -3.376

Answer: 3.076 or -3.376

Samantha uses her credit card to pay for a collision repair that ended up totaling $1,433.41. She can pay off up to $500 a month
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

A.)

Step-by-step explanation:

1433.41/500=2....

it's only 2 months so it isn't enough to pay the annual fee more than once so the 500 is useless info

1433.41*0.165 = 236.51

236.51 is A so that's the answer
