Answer:

A. 2 1/4 + 3 2/5

B. 113/20

Step-by-step explanation: For A: All you had to do was multiply -1(-3 2/5) and that was going to make your answer positive because the negatives were going to cancel each other out.

For B: First you had to make your fractions improper fractions instead of mixed numbers. And that would make it 9/4 + 17/5. Next, since they don't have the same denominator, you would have had to find the least common multiple of 5 and 4 which is 20. So then how ever many times your denominator went in to 20, that's what you'll multiply your numerator by. 45/20 + 68/20= 113/20

There is a 0.9991 probability that a randomly selected 31-year-old male lives through the year. A life insurance company charge

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

a) Monetary values corresponding to the two events are:

-In case of surviving the year = -166$

-In case of a death in the year = 89834$

b) Expected value of the purchasing the insurance is -85 $

c) Yes, insurance company can make a profit with this policy.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The man need to pay 166$ first to enroll the insurance policy. If he survives within a year, he will lose 166$. Otherwise, if he dies within a year he will profit 89834$.

b) Expected value of the purchasing the insurance as following:

-In case of surviving the year:

Value: -166$

Probability: 0,9991

-In case of death in a year

Value: 89834$

Probability: 0,0009

Expected value is E(x) = -166×0,9991 + 89834×0,0009 = -85 $

c) Lets consider that 10000 different 31 year old man enrolled to this insurance policy. According to probability of death, 9 out of 10000 man expected to be dead within the year. Therefore, company need to pay 9*90000 = 810000$ to their costumers. But, company will collect 10000*166=1660000$ from their costumers in the beginning of the year

So, it is expected that company is going to profit 1660000-810000=850000$ per year.

Use Hooke's Law to determine the work done by the variable force in the spring problem. A force of 450 newtons stretches a sprin

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The work done is 202.50Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$F =450N$

$x_1 = 30cm$

$x_2 = 60cm$

Required

The work done

First, we calculate the spring constant (k)

$F = kx_1$

$450N = k *30cm$

$k = \frac{450N}{30cm}$

$k =15N/cm$

So:

$F = kx_1$

$F(x) = 15x$

The work done using Hooke's law is:

$W =\int\limits^a_b {F(x)} \, dx$

This gives:

$W =\int\limits^{60}_{30} {15x} \, dx$

Rewrite as:

$W =15\int\limits^{60}_{30} {x} \, dx$

Integrate

$W =15 \frac{x^2}{2}|\limits^{60}_{30}$

This gives:

$W =15 *\frac{60^2 - 30^2}{2}$

$W =15 *\frac{2700}{2}$

$W =15 *1350$

$W =20250N-cm$

Convert to Nm

$W =\frac{20250Nm}{100}$

$W =202.50Nm$

AYUDAAA porfavorrrr primera urna 6 bolas verdes y 3 rojas segunda urna 3 verdes, 3 blancas y 3 rojas tercera urna 6 verdes, 1 bl

marin [14]

We have the following information:

first urn: 6 green balls and 3 red ones

total: 6 + 3 = 9

second urn: 3 green, 3 white and 3 red

total: 3 + 3 + 3 = 9

third urn: 6 green, 1 white and 2 red

total: 6 + 1 + 2 = 9

a) A green ball is more likely to be obtained, since there are more green balls than red balls, which makes the probability higher.

b) probability of drawing a green, red and white ball.

first urn:

green = 6/9 = 66.66%

red = 3/9 = 33.33%

white = 0/9 = 0%

second urn:

green = 3/9 = 33.33%

red = 3/9 = 33.33%

white = 3/9 = 33.33%

third urn:

green = 6/9 = 66.66%

red = 2/9 = 22.22%

white = 1/9 = 11.11%

c) it would be chosen where the probability of drawing green would be the highest, which means that it would be possible both in the first and in the third ballot box, the probability is equal 66.66%

d) without a green ball, the third ballot box would look like this:

5 green balls, 2 red balls and 1 white ball, with a total of 8.

The probability of drawing would be:

green = 5/8 = 62.5%

red = 2/8 = 25%

white = 1/8 = 12.5%

Two trains leave stations 288 miles apart at the same time and travel towards each other. One train travels at 95 miles per hour

erma4kov [3.2K]

95x=85x+288
You could add 288 to any side, it just shows that they're 288 miles apart.
Let's subtract 85x from both sides.
10x=288
28.8=x
It'll take 28.8 hours for the trains to meet. Let's make sure.
28.8×95
2,736
28.8×85
2,448
2,736-2,448
288
So, they'll meet up after 28.8 miles.
