<h3>No it is never possible</h3>

Why not? Because the probability is always between 0 and 1, inclusive of both endpoints.

0 represents impossibility

1 represents absolute certainty

The value 1.5 is larger than 1, so it is outside the range of 0 to 1.

Saying a probability of 1.5 is like saying "the chances of an event happening are 150%" but the largest the percentage can go is 100%, which represents absolute certainty.

Your friend Michelle just graduated and has two job offers that she is considering. Both job offers pay the same, but JobA

just olya [345]

Money offered to Michelle per annum in Job A = $1700

Number of years she will work in job A = 5

Percentage of earnings per annum for her retirement plan = 6.60%

Money she will earn will be the simple interest at the end of 5 years.

We know that :

$\color{plum}{ \tt{Simple \: interest = \frac{Principle \ \: \times \: Rate \: \: \times \: \: Time}{100} }}$

Principal = $1700

Rate = 6.60%

Time = 5 years

Which means :

$= \frac{1700 \times 6.60 \times 5}{100}$

$= \frac{56100}{100}$

$= \color{plum}\$561$

We also know that :

$\color{plum}\tt \: Amount = Principal + Interest$

Amount Michelle will earn at the end of 5 years for her retirement plan :

$= 1700 + 561$

$=\color{plum}\bold{\$ 2261}$

2261 can be rounded off to 2260.

Therefore, Michelle will earn <u>$2260</u> at the end of 5 years for her retirement plan.

Sara can type 90 words in 4 minutes.About how many words would you expect her to type in 10 minutes?

Alexus [3.1K]

90 words in 4 minutes is the same as 45 words in 2 minutes because you divide both sides by 2. 2 goes into 10, 5 times, so 45x5=225.
You can expect her to type 225 words in 10 minutes.
