In order to  see the probaability of this we need to do an easy calculation here:
If  X<span> is the price for the policy, then we proceed like this: 

</span>0.982x = 0.0275*<span>31,000
</span><span>
x = 0.0275*</span><span>31,000</span><span>/0.982 

Minimum ammount he can expect to pay = $868.12 </span>

I really need help with this please ! I don't understand it, and I have a quiz tomorrow
erik [133]
You can do this by finding a number close to it, and then finding out how to do it.

For example with 63(square root sign), find out what is close to it.

7x7=49 while 8x8=64

Because of this, we now know that it is between 7 and 8 but is also really close to 8.

Our number could be 7.9

Hope this helped!!!

In a study of 30 high school students, researchers found a high correlation, 0.93, between amount of exercise and weight lost. W
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Option A is true

The researchers proved that exercise causes weight loss only for high school students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the researchers found a high correlation, 0.93, between amount of exercise and weight lost.

Now, looking at each of the options;

- A is True because due to the high correlation, the research proves that exercise causes weight loss but only for high school students.

- B is not true because we are told the correlation is very high at 0.93. Thus, it is untrue that there is no proven causation.

-C is not true because there's no where that the researchers have completely proved that exercise causes weight loss generally. It is only peculiar to the high school students studied.

-D is not true because the 93% is just a correlation and not a percentage of those who lost weight

Loretta places 20 red tiles in a bag. How many blue tiles must be added to the bag to make the probability of randomly drawing a
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

If the number of blue tiles in the bag is 180, then the probability of randomly drawing a red tile equal to 1/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of red tiles in a bag = 20

Let us assume the number of blue tiles in a bag = p

So, the total number of tiles in a bag  = Red Tiles + Blue tiles  

=  20 +  p

Now, let us find the probability of drawing a red tile:

\textrm{The probability of drawing a red tile} = \frac{\textrm{Total Number of red tiles}}{\textrm{Total Tiles}}\\= \frac{20}{20 + p}

But, here the probability of drawing a red tile = 1/10

\implies \frac{1}{10}  = \frac{20}{20+p} \\\implies 20 + p = 200\\\implies p = 200- 20 =  180

or, p = 180

Hence, if the number of blue tiles in the bag = 180, then the P Picking out a red tile ) is 1/10.
