Michael saves $423 dollars a month for college.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

(a). $20,000

(b). The estimate will be lower than the actual amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Michael saves $423 dollars a month for college.

(a). We know that 1 year equals 12 months.

4 years = 4*12 months = 48 months.

$\text{Actual amount saved}=\$423\times 48$

Since we are asked to find the estimated amount of money Michael will save in 4 years, so we will estimate both quantities as:

$423\approx 400\\\\48\approx 50$

$\text{Actual amount saved}=\$400\times 50$

$\text{Actual amount saved}=\$20,000$

Therefore, Michael will save approximately $20,000 in 4 years.

(b).

The estimate will be lower than the actual amount as we rounded $423 down $23 to nearest hundred that is $400 and rounded 48 up 2 to nearest ten that is 40.

Therefore, the estimate will be lower than the actual amount.

A box of donuts containing 6 maple bars, 3 chocolate donuts, and 3 custard filled donuts is sitting on a counter in a work offic

Svetlanka [38]

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of selecting a kind of donut from the box.

The probability that Warren eats a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is 0.068

The given parameters are:

$\mathbf{Bars = 6}$

$\mathbf{Chocolate = 3}$

$\mathbf{Custard= 3}$

The total number of donuts in the box is:

$\mathbf{Total= 6 + 3 + 3}$

$\mathbf{Total= 12}$

The probability of eating a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is calculated using:

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Chocolate}{Total}\times \frac{Custard}{Total-1}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{3}{12}\times \frac{3}{12-1}}$

Simplify

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{3}{12}\times \frac{3}{11}}$

Multiply

$\mathbf{Pr = \frac{9}{132}}$

Divide

$\mathbf{Pr = 0.068}$

Hence, the probability that Warren eats a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is approximately 0.068
