Answer:

Lauren's saving=$180

Fiona's saving=$96

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the saving's of fiona be x

Now given that the savings of lauren is $84 more than fiona which means the saving's of lauren is x+84

Given 1 fifth Of Lauren's saving was the same as 3 eights of fiona's Saving

$\frac{1}{5}(lauren's saving)=\frac{3}{8}(fiona's saving)$

$\frac{1}{5}(x+84)=\frac{3}{8}(x)$

$8x+672=15x$

$7x=672\\x=96$

Therefore the saving's of fiona is $96 and the saving's of Lauren's is 96+84=$180

PLEASE HELP!! I need this completed ASAP but I don't understand any of it!! It's due very soon!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) you know interest is 22 and principal is 1000 and number of months is 1

b) I = rPm

r = I/Pm

c) r = 22 / 1000(1) = 0.022 /month or 2.2% per month

or 12(0.022) = 0.264 or 26.4 % per year.

d) interest is $15, loan period is 2 weeks which occurs once during the loan, interest rate is 10% per two weeks.

P = I/rm

e) P = 15 / 0.10 = $150

Notice that there are 52 weeks/yr / 2week loan period = 26 period in a year.

This means that the APR is 0.10(26) = 2.60 or 260% annual interest rate. Pretty good return on investment if you are the lender and can keep your money lent out. Not so good if you are the borrower.

In a multiple choice quiz there are 5 questions and 4 choices for each question (a, b, c, d). Robin has not studied for the quiz

Ahat [919]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

b) There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

c) There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question can have two outcomes. Either it is right, or it is wrong. So, for b) and c), we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

Each question has 4 choices. So for each question, Robin has a $\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$ probability of getting ir right. So $\pi = 0.25$ . There are five questions, so $n = 5$ .

(a) What is the probability that the first question she gets right is the second question?

There is a 75% probability of getting the first question wrong and there is a 25% probability of getting the second question right. These probabilities are independent.

So

$P = 0.75(0.25) = 0.1875$

There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

(b) What is the probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right?

This is: $P = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{4} = 0.3955$

$P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{3} = 0.2637$

$P = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.3955 + 0.2637 = 0.6592$

There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

(c) What is the probability that she gets the majority of the questions right?

That is the probability that she gets 3, 4 or 5 questions right.

$P = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{2} = 0.0879$

$P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{1} = 0.0146$

$P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{0} = 0.001$

$P = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0879 + 0.0146 + 0.001 = 0.1035$

There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

How to solve this equation 5x-4-7x=4

elixir [45]

Answer:

x= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x + -4 = 7x + 4

Solving

-4 + 5x = 4 + 7x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 5x + -7x = 4 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 5x + -7x = -2x

-4 + -2x = 4 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0

-4 + -2x = 4 + 0

-4 + -2x = 4

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + -2x = 4 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + -2x = 4 + 4

-2x = 4 + 4

Combine like terms: 4 + 4 = 8

-2x = 8

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -4

Simplifying

x = -4
