Triangle BCD is similar to triangle ACE, so corresponding side lengths are proportional to one another and we have

$\dfrac34=\dfrac{5.2}{5.2+x}$

Solve for $x$ :

$3(5.2+x)=4\cdot5.2\implies15.6+3x=20.8\implies3x=5.2\implies x\approx1.73$

Answer:

0.021/yr or 2.1%/yr

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the quotient:

$36.75/$36.00

This comes out to 1.021,

so the inflation rate is 1.021 - 1.000 = 0.021 or 2.1%/year

7 MORE THAN TWICE a number n

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

2n+7

Step-by-step explanation:

7 more than twice n would be:

2n+7

this is because twice n would mean that you'd multiply n by 2, and by 7 more than they mean you would add 7 to that.

The probability that four or fewer of the people who called will sign up for a class = 0.9805

For given question,

Eric estimates that one out of every five people who call for information about a class will sign up for the class.

Last week he receive nine calls.

We need to find the probability that four or fewer of the people who called will sign up for a class.

Total number of calls = 9

⇒ n = 9

Since one out of every five people who call for information about a class will sign up for the class.

the probability of success (p) = 1/5

= 0.2

and the probability of failure (q) = 1 - p

= 1 - 0.2

= 0.8

To find the probability that four or fewer of the people who called will sign up for a class.

So, x would take values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Using Binomial principal,

For x = 0,

$P(x=0)= ~^9C_0(0.2)^0(0.8)^{9-0}\\\\P(x=0)=0.13422$

For x = 1,

$P(x=1)= ~^9C_1(0.2)^1(0.8)^{9-1}\\\\P(x=1)=0.30199$

For x = 2,

$P(x=2)= ~^9C_2(0.2)^2(0.8)^{9-2}\\\\P(x=2)=0.30199$

For x = 3,

$P(x=3)= ~^9C_3(0.2)^3(0.8)^{9-3}\\\\P(x=3)=0.17616$

For x = 4,

$P(x=4)= ~^9C_4(0.2)^4(0.8)^{9-4}\\\\P(x=4)=0.06606$

So, the required probability would be,

P = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2) + P(x = 3) + P(x = 4)

P = 0.1342 + 0.3020 + 0.3020 + 0.1762 + 0.0661

P = 0.9805

Therefore, the probability that four or fewer of the people who called will sign up for a class = 0.9805
