After 7 years  the laptop computer will be worth $200 or less.

In this question, we have been given a laptop computer is purchased for $1500 . Each year, its value is 75%  of its value the year before.

We need to find the number of years when laptop computer be worth $200  or less.

We can see that given situation represents exponential decay function with initial value 1500, decay rate = 0.75 and the final value = 200

We need to find period t.

For given situation we get an exponential function as,

1500 * (0.75)^t ≤  200

(0.75)^t  ≤ 2/15

t * ln(0.75) ≤ ln(2/15)

t * (-0.2877) ≤ -2.0149

t ≥ (-2.0149)/(-0.2877)

t ≥ 7

Therefore, the laptop computer will be worth $200 or less after 7 years.

The probability is 0.8997.

We will use a z-score to answer this question.  z-scores are given by the formula
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

With our information, we have
z=\frac{622-590}{25}=\frac{32}{25}=1.28

Looking this up in a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that the area to the left of this (everything less than, up to this value) is 0.8997.

Alja [10]

Answer:

The answer should be .25

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer should be .25 because:

- there are 4 places you can score and since you want it to land on 5 and there is only one 5 it counts as a 1

- the since there are 4 in total and you want to land on 1 you get 1/4 the number one standing for there only being one 5 and the 4 standing for the number of places to land on.

-then you convert the 1/4 into a decimal which makes .25
