Answer: The required probability is 2.167.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

It is a uniform distribution between 46 minutes and 73 minutes.

She finishes within 58.5 minutes.

So, the general probability is :

\dfrac{58.5}{b-a}\\\\here,\\\\a=46\\\\b=73

So, the probability would be

\dfrac{58.5}{73-46}=\dfrac{58.5}{27}=2.167

Hence, the required probability is 2.167.

Kyle took out a seven-year loan of $8,000 loan from his bank. The bank charges an interest rate of 5 percent, compounded yearly.
Nookie1986 [14]

Assuming the loan is as described, seven-year loan, which means that Kyle does not repay a cent before seven years.

This is a compound interest problem where n=7 years, interest rate i=0.05, and present value P=8000.

At the end of seven years, Kyle will have to pay

Future value = F = P(1+i)^n = 8000(1.05)^7 = 11256.80 (to the nearest cent)

X - 3= -21 <br>This is so confusing:(​
Aneli [31]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=-18}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we are trying to find the value of x. Basically, x is a placeholder for a number that is unknown. Some number minus 3 is equal to 21.

Our goal is to find x. To do this we want to isolate x on one side of the equation

x-3=-21

Let's add 3 to both sides.

x-3 + 3 = -21+3\\\\-3 + 3 = 0\\\\x = -21+3\\\\x=-18

Hope this helped!

An element with mass 780 grams decays by 16.3% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 16 minutes, to the nearest
vitfil [10]
Exponential decay is a very common process especially when we are talking about radioactive materials. So, there is already a common formula for this type of behavior which is written below:

A = Pe^-rt
where
A is the amount left after time t
P is the initial amount at t=0
r is the rate

Substituting the values,
A = (780 g)(e^-0.163*16)
A = 57.5 g
