7/8 = x/48

Perform cross multiplication:
a/b = c/d
ad = bc

a = 7 ; b = 8 ; c = x ; d = 48
7*48 = 8x
336 = 8x
336/8 = x
42 = x

7/8 = 42/48

42 ÷ 6 = 7
48 ÷ 6 = 8

The lifetime of a 2-volt non-rechargeable battery in constant use has a normal distribution with a mean of 516 hours and a stand
Anna11 [10]

Answer: C. 541.60 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lifetime of a 2-volt non-rechargeable battery in constant use has a normal distribution, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = lifetime of the batteries.

µ = mean lifetime

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 516 hours

σ = 20 hours

Looking at the normal distribution table, the z score corresponding to ninety percent approximately is 1.28

Therefore,

1.28 = (x - 516)/20

Cross multiplying by 20, it becomes

20 × 1.28 = x - 516

25.6 = x - 516

x = 516 + 25.6

x = 541.6

Therefore, Ninety percent of all batteries have a lifetime less than

541.60 hours

Aloma, a university graduate who started a successful business, wants to start an endowment in her name that will provide schola
elixir [45]

Answer:

5.73%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the rate of return that the university must realize

Using this formula

Rate of return = Initial payment/(Plan to donate- Initial payment)

Let plug in the formula

Rate of return=$13,000/($240,000-$13,000)

Rate of return=$13,000/$227,000

Rate of return=0.0573*100

Rate of return =5.73%

Therefore The rate of return that the university must realize in order to award the annual scholarship forever is 5.73 %.
