Answer:

the amount Deshaun invested in an account that paid 9% interest = $9,000

the amount Deshaun invested in an account that paid 5% interest = $11,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the amount Deshaun invested in an account that paid 9% interest

Let y = the amount Deshaun invested in an account that paid 5% interest.

Thus;

x + y = 20,000 - - - - (eq 1)

Now, After one year, he received a total of $1440 in interest. Thus;

0.09x + 0.05y = 1440

Multiply each term by 100 to give;

9x + 5y = 144000 ---- (eq 2)

Making x the subject in equation 1,we have;

x = 20,000 - y

Putting 20,000 - y for x in eq 2,we have;

9(20,000 - y) + 5y = 1440

180000 - 9y + 5y = 144000

180000 - 4y = 144000

180000 - 144000 = 4y

36000 = 4y

Divide both sides by 4 to give;

y = 36000/4

y = $9,000

x = 20,000 - 9000

x = $11,000

In all, 1000 students took a statistics exam worth 150 points. The first quartile (or Q1) for all 1000 scores is 90 points. Abou
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The number of students who scored more than 90 points is 750.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quartiles are statistical measures that the divide the data into four groups.

The first quartile (Q₁) indicates that 25% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₁.

The second quartile (Q₂) indicates that 50% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₂.

The third quartile (Q₃) indicates that 75% of the observation are less than or equal to Q₃.

It is provided that the first quartile is at 90 points.

That is, P (X ≤ 90) = 0.25.

The probability that a student scores more than 90 points is:

P (X > 90) = 1 - P (X ≤ 90)

                = 1 - 0.25

                = 0.75

The number of students who scored more than 90 points is: 1000 × 0.75 = 750.

What is the value of k if 7k" minutes past nine" is the same as 8k" minutes to ten"?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of 7k "minutes past nine" is the same as 8k" minutes to ten".

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour and 9 and 10 fall in between the same hour, this means that:

7k = 60 - 8k

7k + 8k = 60

15k = 60

k = 60 / 15

k = 4 minutes
