Decrease £16870 by 3% , give your answer rounded 2 decimal places

1 answer:

5 0

To decrease it by 3% we need to fine 97% of it and 97% is the same as 0.97

16870 times 0.97=16363.9

16870 decreased by 3% is 16363.9

I hope I've helped!

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the binomial distribution and the exponential distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

Probability of a single tower being standing after 35 years:

Single tower, so exponential.

Mean of 25 years, so $m = 25, \mu = \frac{1}{25} = 0.04$

We have to find $P(X > 35)$

$P(X > 35) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-0.04*35} = 0.2466$

What is the probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years?

Now binomial.

Each tower has a 0.2466 probability of being standing after 35 years, so $p = 0.2466$

3 towers, so $n = 3$

We have to find:

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.2466)^{2}.(0.7534)^{1} = 0.1374$

$P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.2466)^{3}.(0.7534)^{0} = 0.0150$

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.1374 + 0.0150 = 0.1524$

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

1. A line passes through (9, -9) and (10,-5).

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

1. y+5=4x-40

2.y=4x-45

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the slope of a line you do y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁ so we plug in the values -9+5/9-10 and we get -4

Point-slope form states y-y₁=m(x-x₁) where m is the slope so plug in the values we get y+5=4(x-10) and you get y+5=4x-40 then turn this equation into y=mx+b and get y= 4x-45

Find all integers $n$ for which $\frac{n^2+n+1}{n-1}$ is an integer.

Grace [21]

$\dfrac{n^2+n+1}{n-1}=\dfrac{(n-1)^2+3(n-1)+3}{n-1}=n-2+\dfrac3{n-1}$

The remainder term $\dfrac3{n-1}$ will never vanish, and will always be rational as long as the denominator is not 1, 3, or -3.

$n-1=1\implies n=2$
$n-1=3\implies n=4$
$n-1=-3\implies n=-2$
