Answer:

Option (C) 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable denoting the amount of gunpowder in the shop be 'x'.

x ~ N(20, 2) i.e. (x-20)/2 ~ (0, 1)

Let 'a' be the amount (in pounds) of gunpowder to stock in inventory.

Thus, P(x<a) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98

i.e. P[(x-20)/2<(a-20)/2] = 0.98

i.e. ф [(a-2)/2] = 0.98

i.e. (a-20)/2 = ф⁻¹ (0.98) = 2.054

i.e. a = 20 + (2 × 2.054) = 24.108 ≈ 24 pounds

24 pounds of gunpowder to stock in inventory.

Option (C) 24

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line, substitute the point (-5,1) and the slope 3/2 into the point slope form y - y_1 =m(x-x_1).

The equation is y - 1 = \frac{3}{2}(x --5)\\y - 1 = \frac{3}{2}(x+5)

Translate into an algebraic expressions: a x is increased by 50% and decreased by 30% . What is the result?
klemol [59]

Answer:

21x/20 or can be written as  x + x/20 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is x

step 1

x is increased by 50%

value of 50% of x = 50/100 *x = x/2

New value after this change = x + 50% increase = x + x/2 = 3x/2

Step 2 The value obtained is decreased by 30%

value of 30% newly found number is = 30% of value found in step 1

value of 30% newly found number is = 30/100 * 3x/2 = 9x/20

This value (9x/2) is subtracted from value found in step 1(3x/2) as given that  value obtained is decreased by 30%

new value found after 30% decrease = 3x/2 - 9x/20 = (3x*10 -9x)/20

new value found after 30% decrease = (30x-9x)/20 = 21x/20

Thus, the result of x is increased by 50% and decreased by 30% is 21x/20 = x + x/20

Do you think Apple will eventually meet their goal of becoming a replacement for a physical wallet? Why or why not?
Simora [160]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be more of an opinion and not a fact, but I see it as very unlikely that they will be able to accomplish this goal. Mainly due to human psychology. Most individuals want to be able to physically hold their money as well as being able to physically exchange their money for the goods that they need since physical cash is accepted worldwide. Another main reason is that individual's want to know that their money is theirs and that no bank or corporation can withhold their hard earned cash.
