To recover the investment James will take \boxed{2.5{\text{ years}}}.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The current salary of James is \$ 42000.

The time taken to complete the college degree is 2{\text{ years}}.

The cost of the college degree is \$ 28000.

The James’ new salary after college degree will be \$ 56000.

Calculation:

The total investment of James can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Investment}} &= {\text{Salary of 2 years}} + {\text{2 years tuition fees}} \\&= 2 \times 42000 + 2 \times 28000\\&= 84000 + 56000\\&= \$ 140000\\\end{aligned}

The total investment for 2 years will be \$ 140000.

The James’ new salary after college degree will be \$ 56000.

The time taken by James to recover \$ 140000.

\begin{aligned}{\text{Time}} &= \frac{{140000}}{{56000}}\\&= 2.5{\text{ years}}\\\end{aligned}

To recover the investment James will take \boxed{2.5{\text{ years}}}.

It will take 2.5 years for James to recover his investment.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

From the above problem, we get these information

- James' current salary is $42000/year

- His college's tuition fee is $ 28000/year

- It takes 2 years to complete his degree

- Salary after finish degree is $ 56000

<u>Question:</u>

How many years will it take James to recover his investment?

James' investment would be his college's tuition fee for 2 years and the salary that he should get while away from work for 2 years.

Those statement can be write down:

investment = 2 years tuition + 2 years salary

\boxed {investment = (2 \times42000)+ (2\times28000) }\\\boxed {investment = 84000+56000=140000 }

so the total investment is $ 140000

After finished study, James salary would be $56000/year, so the investment will recover in

\boxed {\frac{140000}{56000} = 2.5 years }

hence, the investment will recover in 2.5 years.

The following histogram shows the relative frequencies of the heights, recorded to the nearest inch, of a population of women. T
Airida [17]

Answer:

The following histogram shows the relative frequencies of the height recorded to the nearest inch of population of women the mean of the population is 64.97 inches and the standard deviation is 2.66 inches

(a) Based on the histogram, what is the probability that the selected woman will have a height of at least 67 inches? Show your work

Answer:

0.22268

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

(a) Based on the histogram, what is the probability that the selected woman will have a height of at least 67 inches? Show your work

At least means equal to or greater than 67 inches

z = 67 - 64.97/2.66

z = 0.76316

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x<67) = 0.77732

P(x>67) = 1 - P(x<67) = 0.22268

The probability that the selected woman will have a height of at least 67 inches is 0.22268

A rectangular pool has dimensions of 40 ft. and 60 ft. The pool has a patio area around it that is the same width on all sides.I
ladessa [460]
Area of pool edge = Area of big rectangle - Area of the pool

Area of pool edge = Area of the pool = 40 × 60 = 2400 ft²

2400 = Area of big rectangle - 2400
Area of big rectangle = 2400 + 2400
Area of big rectangle = 4800

Length × width = 4800

From the diagram, we need the length to be [x + x] more than the length of the pool, where x is the distance from the pool edge to the patio edge.

We also need the width of the big rectangle to be [[x + x] more than the width of the pool.

Length = 60 + 2x
Width = 40 + 2x

Length × Width = [60+2x] × [40+2x]
4800 = 2400 + 120x + 80x + 4x²
0 = 4x² + 200x - 2400
0 = 4[x² + 50x - 600]
0 = x² + 50x - 600
0 = [x - 60] [x + 10]

x - 60 = 0 OR x + 10 = 0
x = 60 OR x = -10

We can only use the positive value of x since the context is length

Hence, x = 60
