Answer:

   D.  0.098

Step-by-step explanation:

The probabilities of all choices must total 1, so we have ...

  p(never) + p(married) + p(widowed) + p(divorced) = 1

  p(divorced) = 1 - (p(never) + p(married) + p(widowed))

  = 1 - (0.239 + 0.595 + 0.068) = 1 - 0.902

  p(divorced) = 0.098

Harry church borrowed 17,500.00 at 6.5% exact interest. He had to pay back a maturity value of 17,873.97 to pay off the loan. Wh
kirill [66]

Answer:the term of the loan is approximately 4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The term of the loan means the period for which the loan was given.

We would apply the formula for simple interest which is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal

R represents interest rate

T represents time in years

I = interest after t years

From the information given

P = 17500

R = 6.5%

I = total amount paid - principal

I = 17,873.97 - 17,500.00 = 373.97

Therefore

373.97 = (17500 × 6.5 × T)/100

373.97 = 1137.5T

T = 373.97/1137.5

T = 0.32 years

Converting to months, it becomes

0.32 × 12 = 3.84

Approximately 4 months.

wlad13 [49]

If X is the number of hats . . . reading backwards . . .

Thursday = Wednesday + Tuesday

17 = 1/2 X + 5

Solving:

17 - 5 = 1/2 X

12 = 1/2 X

24 = X

So she had 24 on Monday.
