By using a change of units, we can see that the rate in dollars per liter is:

R = $0.0027 per liter.

<h3>How to convert the rate?</h3>

Here we have a rate in dollars per cubic foot, and we want to rewrite this in dollars per liter. So we just need to apply a change of units.

The original rate is in dollars per square foot, and it is given by:

R = $1.30 for 16.7ft^3

We know that the relation between cubic feet and liters is:

1ft^3 = 28.32 L

Then, if we apply a change of units, we can rewrite the volume as:

16.7ft^3 = 16.7*(28.32) L = 472.9 L

Then the rate is $1.30 per 472.9 L, taking the quotient we get:

R = ($1.30/472.9 L) = $0.0027 per liter.

scoray [572]

Answer:

mean =503.75

median=400

mode=400

range=691

Step-by-step explanation:

mean= 211+351+359+400+400+659+748+902=4030/8= 503.75

range= highest number -lowest number = 902-211=691

median= 400+400 =800/2= 400

Answer:

I'll setup the problem and leave the computation to you

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to calculate fixed payments

$P = \frac{r(PV)}{1- {(1 + r)}^{ - n} }$

P= payments

r = interest rate for the period (which is a quarter )

PV = present value (or the amount borrowed)

n = number of periods

r = .25/4 (4 months = quarter of a year)

n = 4*10

PV = R450550.00

amm1812

Answer:

The gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy or the fallacy of the maturity of chances, is the erroneous belief that if a particular event occurs more frequently than normal during the past it is less likely to happen in the future (or vice versa), when it has otherwise been established that the probability of such events does not depend on what has happened in the past. Such events, having the quality of historical independence, are referred to as statistically independent. The fallacy is commonly associated with gambling, where it may be believed, for example, that the next dice roll is more than usually likely to be six because there have recently been fewer than the usual number of sixes.

The term "Monte Carlo fallacy" originates from the best known example of the phenomenon, which occurred in the Monte Carlo Casino in 1913.[1]

One positive number is 9 more than twice another. If their product is 731 find the numbers

Anastaziya [24]

The answer is 361.

This is because you take 731 and subtract 9 and you get 722. Then you divide 722 by two and you get 361.

Hope this helped!!
