Given:
X: The blue marbles.
3X: The red marbles.
A box contains 144 marbles.
SOLVING:
X + 3X = 144
4X = 144
X = \frac{144}{4}
X = 36 ===> The blue marbles.

If there are 3 times as many red marbles as there are blue marbles:
3(36) = 108 ===> The red marbles. SOLUTION

TESTING:
36+108=144
\boxed{144}=\boxed{144}\quad\checkmark\ The\ value\ is\ correct.
GOOD LUCK...!!!

Suppose you waited 10 years to invest in the same retirement fund and have the same $400,000 for retirement at the same 8% inter
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

<em>$7,196.42 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the compound interest formula to fins the amount after 10years;

A  = P(1+r)^n

Principal P = $400,000

Rate r = 8% = 0.08

Time t = 10 years

Substitute

A = 400,000(1+0.08)^10

A = 400,000(1.08)^10

A = 400,000(2.1589)

A = 863,569.99

A ≈ 863,570

Hence the amount after 10 years is $863,570

Monthly deposit = $863,570/120 (10 years is equivalent to 120months)

Monthly deposit = 7,196.42

<em>Therefore he will have to deposit $7,196.42 into his account monthly</em>

On average, there are 10 customers arrives a local bank per hour. Bob is the only bank teller on duty at the bank currently and
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

the probability that no customer will arrive in the next 6 minutes = 0.36788 = 0.368

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 10 customers per hour, this translates to 1 customer per 6 minutes

So, if there's a mean of 1 customer per 6 minutes, to obtain the probability that no customer will come in a 6 minute interval, this becomes a Poisson distribution problem.

The Poisson distribution formula is given by

P(X = x) = (e^-λ)(λˣ)/x!

where λ = mean = 1 customer per 6 minutes

x = 0 customer per 6 minutes

P(X=0) = (e⁻¹)(1⁰)/0! = 0.36788 = 0.368

Find the number of four-digit numbers which are not divisible by 4?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

6750

Step-by-step explanation:

4 digit numbers are 1000,1001,1002,...,9999

let numbers=n

d=1001-1000=1

9999=1000+(n-1)1

9999-1000=n-1

8999+1=n

n=9000

now let us find the 4 digit numbers divisible by 4

4| 1000

______

| 250

4 |9999

  _____

  | 2499-3

9999-3=9996

so numbers are 1000,1004,1008,...,9996

a=1000

d=1004-1000=4

let N be number of terms

9996=1000+(N-1)4

9996-1000=(N-1)4

8996=(N-1)4

N-1=8996/4=2249

N=2249+1=2250

so number of 4 digit numbers not divisible by 4=9000-2250=6750
