Answer:

P(9 boys/10births)= approx 0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets indicate the BOY=B and the GIRL=G

We investigate the case of 10 kids births.

That means that each possible outcome of the event is looking like that:

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

In each position of X letter can be as letter B  as letter G (2 possible options).

So the total amount of the outcomes is 2^10  =1024

The number of the outcomes where the amount of letter B =9 is 10.

(the outcomes are as follows)

1).  G BBB BBB BBB

2)  B GBB BBB BBB

3). B BGB BBB BBB  

4). B BBG BBB BBB

5). B BBB GBB BBB

6) B BBB BGB BBB

7) B BBB BBG BBB

8) B BBB BBB GBB

9) B BBB BBB BGB

10) B BBB BBB BBG

Or we can calculate it from formulae A10(9)= 10!/9! =10

So the probability of 9 boys in ten births is

P(9Boys/10)= 10/1024=0.009765625= approx. 0.01

In 2003, the annual sales at a company are $372,000. If sales are increasing at a rate
Otrada [13]

Answer:

20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by writing an exponential equation;

FV = PV( 1 + r)^t

FV is the future value = 1,000,000

PV is present value = 372,000

r is rate = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

t is time which we are looking for

1,000,000 = 372,000(1 + 0.05)^t

1.05^t = 1,000,000/372,000

1.05^t = 2.688

t ln 1.05 = ln 2.688

t = ln 2.688/ln 1.05

t = 20 years

love history [14]

As, synthetic division by -4 gives remainder 0. Hence, Option B is correct. -4 is a root of 3x^{2} +7x-20

As, x+4=0 gives x=-4.

So, option C is correct,

(x+4) is factor of 3x^{2} +7x-20

Option E is correct

\frac{3x^{2} +7x-20 }{x+4}=3x-5

Renauld has to pay 2 percent in closing costs and 14 percent for the down payment on a purchase of $170,500. Over the life of hi
melamori03 [73]

Renaud has to pay 2 percent + 14 percent = 16 percent initial costs

We can establish a proportion:

If 100% is => $170,500

Then 16% =>  $C costs

$C = 16 x $170,500/100 = $27,280 initial costs

Total cost = $163,021.87 + $27,280 = $190,301.87

Answer : C.) $190,301.87
