Answer:

Odds for male= 1.538

Odds for female =  0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for odds, not a probability. A probability shows how much the chance for the event to happen, so it can be expressed as a percentage. Odds show how the event more likely to happen compared to the chance it did not happen. If an event has a 90% probability, the odds will be 90:10= 9

In this case, the odds of selecting a male will be:  

number of male : number of female= 20:13 = 1.538

The odds of selecting a female will be

number of female : number of male = 13/20 = 0.65

Answer:

  the correct answer is marked

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph ranges vertically between 9 and 15, starting at 9 (the minimum) when x=0. The minimum appears again at x=350.

This means the vertical offset is (9+15)/2 = 12, and the amplitude is (15 -9)/2 = 3. The period is 350, so the coefficient of x is (2π/350). All of the answer choices agree on these parameters.

So, the selection comes down to an understanding of how the sine and cosine curves vary. The sine curve starts at zero and increases from there. The cosine curve starts at its maximum (1) and decreases. Here, the curve starts a its minimum and increases, so could be the opposite of the cosine function.

  y = -3cos(2πx/350) +12 . . . . . . matches choice C

How much money has to be invested at 2.3% interest compounded continuously to have $41,000 after 17 years?
Llana [10]
For this, we have to calculate how much money has to be invested at 2.3% interest compounded continuously to achieve $41,000 after 17 years

Formula: A= P * ( 1+r)^t
A= $41,000
r=0.023
t= 17
<span>41,000= P * (1+0.023)^17
</span>41,000= P * (1.023)^17
41,000= P * 1.4719
P= 41,000 : 1.4719
P= $27,731.59
Therefore, the answer is C. $27,731.59 
I checked by doing the opposite, and I got $41,000.01, which is the closest to the question<span>
