Answer:

y = $\frac{x}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Father of Maria is x years old. We have to find the expression best represents Maria's age.

Let age of Maria = y years

If Maria is $\frac{1}{3}$ of her father's age then we can write the expression as below.

Age of Maria y = $\frac{x}{3}$ .

Therefore answer is " y = $\frac{x}{3}$ "

1 hour and 5 min. from 2:45 until 3:00 is 15 min. then from 3:00 until 3:50 is an additional 50 min. ad 15 and 50, and you get 65. every 60 min makes one hour, so that leaves you with one hour and five min.

A police officer claims that the proportion of accidents that occur in the daytime (versus nighttime) at a certain intersection

Roman55 [17]

Answer: -1.78

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given description, we have

Population proportion : $p=0.35$

Sample size : n= 500

Sample proportion : $\hat{p}=\dfrac{156}{500}=0.312$

Test statistic for population proportion :-

$z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{0.312-0.35}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.35(1-0.35)}{500}}}\\\\=-1.78146747757\ \ \text{(Simplified)}\\\\\approx-1.78$

Hence, the test statistic for this hypothesis test for a proportion= -1.78

Misha deposited $3,725 into a savings account 22 years ago. The account has an interest rate of 2.2% and the balance is currentl

Annette [7]

The compounding equation is $A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n}) ^{nt}$ . So

$6012.37 = 3725(1+ \frac{0.022}{n}) ^{22n}$     Divide by 3725

$1.6141= (1+ \frac{0.022}{n}) ^{22n}$

Daily    = $(1+ \frac{0.022}{365}) ^{22*365}$
              = $(1.000060274) ^{8030}$
              = 1.6225
Monthly = $(1+ \frac{0.022}{12}) ^{22*12}$
              = $(1.0018333) ^{264}$
              = 1.6218
Quarter = $(1+ \frac{0.022}{4}) ^{22*4}$
              = $(1.0055) ^{88}$
              = 1.6204
Yearly = $(1+ \frac{0.022}{1}) ^{22*1}$
              = $(1.022) ^{22}$
              = 1.6141

The answer is yearly.
