Answer:

Part 1) The algebraic expression is equal to $1.10(n-1)$ or $1.10n-1.10$

Part 2) The algebraic expression is equal to $\frac{1.10}{n}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have (n-1) increased by 110%

110%=110/100=1.10

The algebraic expression of (n-1) increased by 110% is equal to multiply 1.10 by (n-1)

$1.10(n-1)$

Distributed

$1.10n-1.10$

Part 2) we have n^(-1) increased by 110%

110%=110/100=1.10

The algebraic expression of n^(-1) increased by 110% is equal to multiply 1.10 by n^(-1)

Remember that

$n^{-1}=\frac{1}{n}$

$1.10(n^{-1})=1.10\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1.10}{n}$

Which pair of measurements is not equivalent?

KonstantinChe [14]

If you would like to know which pair of measurements is not equivalent, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
1 mile = 5280 feet

8 yards = 8 * 3 feet = 24 feet
2 feet = 2 * 12 inches = 24 inches
10 feet = 10 * 12 inches = 120 inches
3 miles = 3 * 5280 feet = 15,840 feet

Not equivalent: 3 miles, 15,480 feet.

4-It has been a bad day for the market, with 70% of securities losing value. You are evaluating a portfolio of 20 securities and

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

b) 0.0007

c) 0.4163

d) 0.2375

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

We treat securities lose value as a success.

P(Security lose value) = 70% = 0.7

Then the securities lose value follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 20.

a) Assumptions

There are 20 independent trials.
Each trial have two possible outcome: security loose value or security does not lose value.
The probability for success of each trial is same, p = 0.7

b) P(all 20 securities lose value)

We have to evaluate:

$P(x = 20)\\= \binom{20}{0}(0.7)^0(1-0.7)^{20}\\= 0.0007$

0.0007 is the probability that all 20 securities lose value.

c) P(at least 15 of them lose value.)

$P(x \geq 15)\\= P(x=15) + P(x = 16) + P(x=17) + P(x=18) +P(x = 19) +P(x = 20)\\ \binom{20}{15}(0.7)^{15}(1-0.7)^{5} +...+ \binom{20}{20}(0.7)^{20}(1-0.7)^{0} \\=0.4163$

d) P(less than 5 of them gain value.)

P(gain value) = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

$P(x < 5)\\= P(x=0) + P(x = 1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3) +P(x = 4)\\ \binom{20}{0}(0.3)^{0}(1-0.3)^{20} +...+ \binom{20}{4}(0.3)^{4}(1-0.3)^{16} \\=0.2375$

On the blueprint of a house, 38 millimeters represents 6 meters. the length of the living room is 57 millimeters on the blueprin

Pie

For this case we can make the following rule of three:
38 milimeters ---------> 6 meters
57 milimeters ---------> x
Clearing x we have:
x = (57/38) * (6)
x = 9 meters
Answer:
the current length of the living room is:
x = 9 meters
