Answer:

q = log4 / log0.53

q = -2.189

Step-by-step explanation:

(0.53)^q = 4

Taking log of both sides!

q log 0.53 = log 4

q = log 4 / log 0.53

q = 0.602 / -0.275

q = - 2.189

This can be checked to confirm correctness.

Substituting q = -2.189

(0.53)^ -2.189 = 1/ 0.249

= 4.01 Proved!

(Note that the "1" is because of the negative sign)

Answer:

q = -2.12

Step-by-step explanation:

lg both sides

lg(0.52^q) = lg4

qlg0.52 = lg4

q = lg4/lg0.52

q = -2.12

dion flips a coin 20 times and records if it comes up heads. if getting heads is a success, what is the probability of a success

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of success (getting heads) on one roll DOESNT affect other rolls, so we need to find probability of getting a head in a roll.

Probability is defined as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

Here, favorable outcome is getting a head. So, on one roll, getting a head is 1. Also, the total number of outcomes is either a head or a tail. So total number of outcomes is 2.

Thus,

P(Heads) = 1/2

Jace's average gross pay is $1,630.00 bi-weekly. Determine how many years it will take Jace to earn his first million dollars.

vesna_86 [32]

The number of years it will take to earn his first million is 24 years

Average bi-weekly gross pay = $1,630

Bi-weekly = 2 weeks

Number of 2 weeks(bi-weeks) in a year = 26 bi-weeks

The least million he can earn is $1,000,000

Let the number of years = n

We could use the equation :

Least million = gross pay × (Number of bi-weeks × number of years)

1000000 = 1630 × (26n)

1000000 = 42380

Divide both sides by 34230

1000000 / 42380 = n

n = 23.59

The least number of years is 24.
