Answer:

b = 2 or b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

b/(b-7) - 2/b = 7/ (b-7)

b * b - 2(b - 7) = 7 * b

b^2 - 2b + 14 = 7b

b^2 - 9b + 14 = 0

(b - 2)(b - 7) = 0

b - 2 = 0; b = 2

b - 7 = 0; b = 7

Answer

b = 2 or b = 7

A bowl contains 4 red marbles and 3 yellow marbles. Tim randomly draws 3 red marbles from the bowl. He replaces each marble afte

mr Goodwill [35]

So,

The probability of drawing a yellow marble is $\frac{3}{7}$ .
Since he replaces the marble after it is drawn out, the probability of drawing another yellow is the same: $\frac{3}{7}$ .

The probability of drawing a red marble is $\frac{4}{7}$ .

In order to get the probability of drawing 2 yellow marbles and 1 red marble, given that each marble is replaced after it is drawn out, we must multiply the fractions together.

$( \frac{3}{7} )( \frac{3}{7} )( \frac{4}{7} ) = \frac{36}{343}$

Because the order of the marbles doesn't matter, we will multiply the probability by 3.
$3( \frac{36}{343} ) = \frac{108}{343}$

Mean: $620, Mode: $600

Let's sort the rank stats.

First quartile: $580

Median: $610

Third quartile: $645

85th percentile: $685

OK, we're ready. What happened to a and b?

c. $645 is the third quartile, 75th percentile. That means 25% of the salaries are higher.

Answer: 25%

d. $685 is the 85th percentile, 15% greater.

Answer: 15%

e. The mean is the sum of all the salaries divided by the count.

Mean = Sum / Count

So the sum is the count times the mean,

Sum = Count × Mean = 100 × $620 = $62,000

Big payroll.

Answer: $62,000
