Assume 3 in every 1000 students at a local community college have quit due to serious health issues. An insurance company offers

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Below is the solution:

 <span>E(X) = 50*1 - 3*8000/10000 
E(X) = 50 - 24 = $26 per year</span>

Answer: if 3 for every 1000 students quit due serious health issues, then you can see the proportion doing the quotient between this numbers. This is:

3/1000 = 0.003

Then if you choose a random student, you have a 0.003 probability of choosing one who can have a health issue.

and a 0.997 probability to choose a student with no health issues.

Now, the company wins  $50 for the healthy students, and lose ($50 - $8000)  = -$7950 for each student that is sick (because they initially pay the 50$ and latter get the $8000).

Then the insurance company should expect to make in average:

0.997*$50 - 0.003*($7950) = $26

So the company should expect to make 26 dollars per student in a year.

Philip made a total of 9 bracelets and necklaces from 120 inches of cord. He used 8 inches of cord for each bracelet and 20 inch
Viktor [21]

Answer:

So Philip made 5 bracelets and 4 necklaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of bracelets and y = number of necklaces.

Since we have a total of 9 bracelets and necklaces,

x + y = 9 (1)

Also, we have 8 inches of cord for each bracelet and 20 inches of cord for each necklace, then the total length for the bracelet is 8x and that for the necklace is 20y.

So, the total length for both is 8x + 20y. Since the total length of cord used is 120 inches,

8x + 20y = 120 (2)

Simplifying it we have

2x + 5y = 30  (3).

Writing equations (1) and (3) in matrix form, we have

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}9\\30\end{array}\right]

Using Cramer's rule to solve for x and y,

x = det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&1\\30&5\end{array}\right] /det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \\

x = (9 × 5 - 30 × 1) ÷ (1 × 5 - 1 × 2)

x = (45 - 30) ÷ (5 - 2)

x = 15 ÷ 3

x = 5

y = det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&9\\2&30\end{array}\right] /det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \\

y = (30 × 1 - 9 × 2) ÷ (1 × 5 - 1 × 2)

y = (30 - 18) ÷ (5 - 2)

y = 12 ÷ 3

y = 4

So Philip made 5 bracelets and 4 necklaces.

Evaluate 4(a2 + 2b) - 2b when a = 2 and b = –2
amid [387]
First you simply have to substitute 2 in replace of all the a's, and -2 in replace of all of the b's

4((2)2+2(-2))

Then you want to follow the order of operations, PEMDAS (Parantheses-Exponent-Multiplication-Division-Addition-Subtraction), and multiply within the parantheses.

4(4+(-4))

Next you will add within the parantheses (So add the 4 and -4 together)

4(0)

Lastly multiply

0

Your answer is 0

Hope this helps!

Choose one of the factors of x^3 + 343.
Debora [2.8K]

First, note that 343=7^3. Then use the formula for the sum of perfect cubes:

a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2).

Therefore,

x^3 + 343=x^3+7^3=(x+7)(x^2-7x+49).

The quadratic trinomial x^2-7x+49 couldn't be factored anymore, so the expression x^3 + 343 has two factors x+7 and x^2-7x+49.

Answer: correct choice is A.
