The number may be calculated as (0.79)^4 = 0.3895 ≈ 0.400.

This is becasue the probability of finding each adult having health insurance is independent of others.

When, events are independent, the combined probability is the product of each probability =>

Probailibty of one adult with healt insurance * probability of one adult with healt insurance * probability of one adult with health insurance * probability of one adult with health insurance = 0.79 * 0.79 * 0.79 * 0.79 = (0.79)^4.

Answer: 0.400

Fifteen seventh graders were randomly selected to see how many pushups in a row they could do. Their data are shown. a. b. 45, 4
GuDViN [60]

Answer: Median = 42

Mean = 43.8

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have a data set of n points {x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

The mean is written as:

(x₁ + ... + xₙ)/N

And the median will be the value in the middle of the data set.

So first, let's write our data set in order, from least to greatest.

{36, 36, 38, 40, 40, 40, 42, 42, 43, 45, 45, 48, 48, 70}

So we have 14 values.

The middle value will be at:

(n + 1)/2

(14 + 1)/2 = 7.5

Now, counting from the left, we have that the 7.5th value is 42. (the 7th value is 42, and the 8th value is 42)

So the median is 42.

Now the mean:

M = (36 + 36 +38 +40+40+40+ 42 +42 + 43 + 45 + 45 + 48 + 48 + 70)/14

M = 43.8

A rectangle has the length of 22 inches less than 7 times the width. If the area of the rectangle is 3197 square inches, find th
Nikolay [14]

The length of rectangle is 139 inches

Solution:

Given that, area of the rectangle is 3197 square inches

Let "L" be the length of rectangle and "W" be the width of rectangle

Also given that rectangle has the length of 22 inches less than 7 times the width

Length = 7 times width - 22

L = 7W - 22

<em><u>The area of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

\text {Area of rectangle }=\text { length } \times \text { width }

Substituting the values we get,

\begin{array}{l}{3197=(7 W-22)(W)} \\\\ {3197=7 W^{2}-22 W} \\\\ {7 W^{2}-22 W-3197=0}\end{array}

On solving the above quadratic equation using quadratic formula,

\text {For the quadratic equation } a x^{2}+b x+c=0 \text { where } a \neq 0

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{\left(b^{2}-4 a c\right)}}{2 a}

\begin{array}{l}{\text {Here in } 7 \mathrm{W}^{2}-22 \mathrm{W}-3197=0} \\\\ {a=7 ; b=-22 ; c=-3197}\end{array}

Substituting in above quadratic formula,

\begin{array}{l}{W=\frac{-(-22) \pm \sqrt{\left((-22)^{2}-4(7)(-3197)\right)}}{2 \times 7}} \\\\ {W=\frac{22 \pm \sqrt{90000}}{14}=\frac{22 \pm 300}{14}} \\\\ {W=\frac{22+300}{14} \text { or } W=\frac{22-300}{14}} \\\\ {W=23 \text { or } W=-19.85}\end{array}

Since width of rectangle cannot be negative, ignore negative value of "W"

So width W = 23 inches

Length L = 7W - 22 = 7(23) - 22 = 139 inches

Thus length of rectangle is 139 inches

Emma also wonders how long it will take her balance of $300 to reach $450, assuming she doesn't make any payments
Mama L [17]

Using an exponential equation, supposing a rate of 5%, it is found that it will take about 2.9 years for Emma's balance to reach $450.

An increasing exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1+r)^t

In which:

A(0) is the initial value.

r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

In this problem:

Her initial balance is of $300, hence . A(0)=300

The growth rate is of 15%, hence R =0.15

Then,

A(t) = A(0)(1+r)^t

A(t) = 300(1+0.15)^t\\A(t) = 300(1.5)^t\\

It will reach $450 after t years, for which A(t) = 450, hence:

A(t) =300(1.15)^t\\450= 300(1.15)^t\\1.15^t=\frac{450}{300}\\\\1.15^t =1.5\\log(1.15)^t=log1.5\\t log 1.15 = log 1.5\\t = \frac{log1.5}{log1.15}\\\\ t =2.9

It will take about 2.9 years for Emma's balance to reach $450
