Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 2%/100 = 0.02 per year,

then, solving our equation

t = 100 / ( 500 × 0.02 ) = 10

t = 10 years

The time required to

accumulate simple interest of $ 100.00

from a principal of $ 500.00

at an interest rate of 2% per year

is 10 years.

A particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. suppose that 20% of the incoming calls invol
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

0.1091 or 10.91%

Step-by-step explanation:    

We have been given that a particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. suppose that 20% of the incoming calls involve fax messages and consider a sample of 20 calls. We are asked to find the probability that exactly 6 of the calls involve a fax message.  

We will use Bernoulli's trials to solve our given problem.

P(X=x)=^nC_x\cdot P^x(1-P)^{n-x}

P(X=6)=^{20}C_6\cdot (0.20)^6(1-0.20)^{20-6}

P(X=6)=\frac{20!}{6!(20-6)!}\cdot (0.20)^6(0.80)^{14}

P(X=6)=\frac{20!}{6!(14)!}\cdot (0.000064)(0.04398046511104)

P(X=6)=38760\cdot (0.000064)(0.04398046511104)

P(X=6)=0.1090997009730

P(X=6)\approx 0.1091\\

Therefore, the probability that exactly 6 of the calls involve a fax message would be approximately 0.1091 or 10.91%.

The distance that Scott walks is a function of the time he spends walking. Scott can walk 1 half
MaRussiya [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The distance that Scott walks is a function of the time he spends walking. Scott can walk 1 half  mile every 8 minutes.

Let y is the distance (in miles) and x is time (in minutes).

\dfrac{0.5}{8}=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\\dfrac{x}{y}=16\\\\y=\dfrac{x}{16}

The attached graph predicts the shape of the function. Hence, this is the required solution.

The sum of four consecutive numbers is 42 what is the smallest number
vredina [299]
Let us take a number x
The four consecutive numbers will be
x+1, x+2, x+3

Thus our equation will be
x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 = 42
4x + 6 = 42
4x = 36
x= 36/4
x= 9

Thus the four numbers are (substitute)
x=9
x+1=9+1=10
x+2=9+2=11
x+3=9+3=12

9,10,11,12

Liula [17]

Answer:

3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that you mean "How do you estimate the square root of 12."

1. √12 is between √9 and √16, which are 3 and 4

2. We know that the square root of 12 is between 3 and 4, and we can estimate to the tenth, getting 3.4
