Which numbers are equivalent to 25%

Use the list below to find the upper quartile. 27, 5, 11, 13, 10, 8, 14, 18, 7

Alinara [238K]

Find the median first. The middle of all the numbers.

5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, 27

11 is the median.

Then find the median of the upper quartile.

The upper quartile consists of numbers...

5, 7, 8, 10

Since it is an even set of numbers add the two in the middle and divided by two. So 7 plus 8= 15/2.

7.5 is your upper quartile.

Solve for x: x2 + 8x = -1

olga nikolaevna [1]

$x^2+8x=-1\\
x^2+8x+16-16=-1\\
(x+4)^2=15\\
x+4=\sqrt{15} \vee x+4=-\sqrt{15}\\
x=-4+\sqrt{15} \vee x=-4-\sqrt{15}$

Hari borrowed Rs. 126000 from a money-lender at 15% per annum simple interest,

amid [387]

Answer:

Rs. 112000

Step-by-step explanation:

Borrowed money = Rs. 126000
Interest rate = 15% PA simple
Time = 3 years

Hari is due to pay after 3 years:

126000* (1+ 3*15/100) = 182700

He pays Rs. 70700, remaining money is cleared by giving buffalo.

Cost of buffalo:

182700 - 70700= Rs. 112000

Answer is: Rs. 112000

According to a 2018 survey by Bankrate, 20% of adults in the United States save nothing for retirement (CNBC website). Suppose t

nalin [4]

Answer:

0.5981 = 59.81% probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they save nothing for retirement, or they save something. The probability of an adult saving nothing for retirement is independent of any other adult. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of adults in the United States save nothing for retirement (CNBC website).

This means that $p = 0.2$

Suppose that sixteen adults in the United States are selected randomly.

This means that $n = 16$

What is the probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement?

This is:

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{16,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{16} = 0.0281$

$P(X = 1) = C_{16,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{15} = 0.1126$

$P(X = 2) = C_{16,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.2111$

$P(X = 3) = C_{16,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{13} = 0.2463$

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0281 + 0.1126 + 0.2111 + 0.2463 = 0.5981$

0.5981 = 59.81% probability that three or less of the selected adults have saved nothing for retirement

(Can somebody find the sum of this) (5+2i)+(8-3i)

7nadin3 [17]

Hey there!!

Okay so here are the steps....

(5 + 2i) + (8 - 3i) <---- when we have exponents we should worry about the "i" because it is equal to √-1 but here it isn't the case.


(13 - i) <----- This is the answer!

I hope this helps! ^__^
