Answer:

The total amount of money Alison and Justins father donated be $108 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property.

Let a, b and c be any real numbers.

Thus

a.( b + c ) = a.b + a.c  

This is distributive property.

As given

Alison and Justins father donated $3 every lap they swam in a swim-a-thon.

Alison swam 21 laps and justin swam 15 laps.

Total amount of money Alison and Justins father donated = Cost of each lap (Number of laps of Alison father  + Number of laps of Justins father )

As

Cost of each lap = $3

Number of laps of Alison father = 21 laps

Number of laps of Justins father = 15 laps

Putting in the above

Total amount of money Alison and Justins father donated = 3(21 + 15)

                                                                                                = 3 × 21 + 3 × 15

                                                                                                = 63 + 45

                                                                                                = $ 108

Therefore the total amount of money Alison and Justins father donated be $108 .

What is the value of x?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) put the equations together and equal them to 180

2x + 4 + 6x - 16 = 180

2.) combine like terms

8x - 12 = 180

3.) divide both sides by 8

8x = 192

4.) simplify

x = 24

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

So, we conclude that the best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers is 4.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 27 of the 193 males in the sample smoke while 16 of the 169 females in the sample smoke.  

We have the following proportion:

27:x=193:100\%\\\\193x=27\cdot 100\\\\193x=2700\\\\x=\frac{2700}{193}\\\\x=13.9\%

So we get that 13.9% of men smoke.

We have the following proportion:

16:x=169:100\%\\\\169x=16\cdot 100\\\\169x=1600\\\\x=\frac{1600}{169}\\\\x=9.5\%

So we get that 9.5% of women smoke.

We get: 13.9%-9.5%=4.4%.

So, we conclude that the best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers is 4.4%.

Marvin invested 65% of his retirement account in stocks and 35% in gold. Marvin believes that the return to stocks over the next
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

1)

the mean rate of return is 17 %

the standard deviation of return is 17.06055

2)

the probability that Marvin's portfolio will make at least 20% over the next 12 months is 0.4325

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

1)

For the portfolio, the mean return and standard deviation are computed as follows;

Mean = Return = 0.65 × 10 + 0.35 × 30

= 6.5 + 10.5

= 17 %

Therefore, the mean rate of return is 17 %

Standard deviation will be;

σp = √( 0.65² × 15² + 0.35² × 40² )

= √( 0.4225 × 225 + 0.1225 × 1600 )

= √( 95.0625 + 196 )  

= √291.0625

= 17.06055  

Therefore, the standard deviation of return is 17.06055

2)  

probability that Marvin's portfolio will make at least 20% over the next 12 months.

P( X > 20 )

we convert to a standard normal variable;

Z = \frac{20-17}{17.06055} )

Z = 0.17

from z table, p-value is;

p( X < 20 ) = 0.5675

P( X > 20 ) 1 - 0.5675  = 0.4325

Therefore, the probability that Marvin's portfolio will make at least 20% over the next 12 months is 0.4325

Over a two hour time period a snail moved 64 inches. How far is this in yards? Write your answer as a whole number or a mixed nu
Bingel [31]

64 inches = 1 \frac{7}{9} yards

using the conversion : 1 yard = 36 inches

divide 64 by 36 to convert to yards

= \frac{64}{36} ← ( divide numerator/denominator by 4 )

\frac{64}{36} = \frac{16}{9} = 1 \frac{7}{9}

given as a mixed number in simplest form
