Answer:

  c.  $0.75 per minute at one rate for the first 5 minutes and $0.25 per minute thereafter

Step-by-step explanation:

The last 5 minutes of the 12-minute call cost ...

  $5.50 -4.25 = $1.25

so the per-minute rate at that time is ...

  $1.25/(5 min) = $0.25/min . . . . . . . . matches choice C only

__

You know the answer at this point, but if you want to check the rate for the first 5 minutes, you can subtract 2 minutes from the 7-minute call to find that ...

  The first 5 minutes cost $4.25 - 2·0.25 = $3.75, so are charged at ...

     $3.75/(5 min) = $0.75/min . . . . . . . matches choice C

Sara Blake's grandmother gave her $3000.00 to save for college. She put it in a savings account that earns 6% interest per year.
Elina [12.6K]

• P is the principal amount, $3000.00.

• r is the interest rate, 6% per year, or in decimal form, 6/100=0.06.

• t is the time involved, 8 years time periods.

• So, t is 8 year time periods.

To find the simple interest, we multiply 3000 × 0.06 × 8 to get that:

The interest is: $1440.00

The children in my subdivision were bored one summer and decided to hold a competition to see who could run to the end of the st
Ainat [17]

Answer:

6.7% of children who finished the race in under 45 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 75 seconds

Standard Deviation, σ =  20 seconds

We are given that the distribution of time of completion is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(finished the race in under 45 seconds.)

P(x < 45)

P( x < 45) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{45 - 75}{20}) = P(z < -1.5)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x < 45) = 0.067 = 6.7\%

6.7% of children who finished the race in under 45 seconds.
