Answer:

When we write numbers in scientific notation, we must put the first non-zero digit ahead of the decimal. In this case, the decimal would be behind the 3. Because we moved the decimal places four times to the right, our exponent will be 4. Thus,

3.00 x 10⁻⁴

Periodic rate can be computed using this formula

Damm [24]

Answer & Explanation:

First, divide the nominal rate by the number of compounding periods. The result is the periodic rate. Now add this number to 1 and take the sum by the power of the number of compounding interest rates. Subtract 1 from the product to get the effective interest rate.

∠WXY and ∠ZXY are adjacent angles. What equation must always be TRUE? m∠WXY=m∠ZXY

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

m∠WXY+m∠ZXY=m∠WXZ

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't know the angles to be congruent (equal measures), complementary (measures add to 90 deg), or supplementary (measures add to 180 deg); all you know is that they are adjacent, so the sum of the measures of the two smaller angles equals the measure of the larger outer angle.

Answer: m∠WXY+m∠ZXY=m∠WXZ

In the united states, voters who are neither democrat nor republican are called independent. it is believed that 12% of voters a

Nitella [24]

Answer:

a) 0.0245 = 2.45%

b) 0.9483 = 94.83%

c) 0.6931 = 69.31%

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are independent, or they are not. The probability of a person being independent is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

It is believed that 12% of voters are independent.

This means that $p = 0.12$

Survey of 29 people

This means that $n = 29$

a. what is the probability that none of the people are independent? probability =

This is P(X = 0). So

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{29,0}.(0.12)^{0}.(0.88)^{29} = 0.0245$

0.0245 = 2.45% probability that none of the people are independent

b. what is the probability that fewer than 7 are independent? probability =

$P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{29,0}.(0.12)^{0}.(0.88)^{29} = 0.0245$

$P(X = 1) = C_{29,1}.(0.12)^{1}.(0.88)^{28} = 0.0971$

$P(X = 2) = C_{29,2}.(0.12)^{2}.(0.88)^{27} = 0.1853$

$P(X = 3) = C_{29,3}.(0.12)^{3}.(0.88)^{26} = 0.2274$

$P(X = 4) = C_{29,4}.(0.12)^{4}.(0.88)^{25} = 0.2016$

$P(X = 5) = C_{29,5}.(0.12)^{5}.(0.88)^{24} = 0.1374$

$P(X = 6) = C_{29,6}.(0.12)^{6}.(0.88)^{23} = 0.0750$

$P(X < 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0245 + 0.0971 + 0.1853 + 0.2274 + 0.2016 + 0.1374 + 0.0750 = 0.9483$
