Answer:

The​ odds, in the most simplified​ form, are 7 to 3 against a randomly selected​ 18- to​ 34-year-old having cursed at his or her computer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

p = 30\% ---- proportion that cursed their computer

Required

Odds against the selected

Using the complement formula, the proportion that the selected has not cursed at their computer is:

p' = 1 - p

p' = 1 - 30\%

p' = 70\%

So, the odds against the selected is:

Odds = p' : p

Odds = 70\% : 30\%

Divide by 10%

Odds = 7: 3

A rectangle is to be inscribed in a right triangle having sides of length 66in, 88in, and 110in. Find the dimensions of the rect
likoan [24]
 <span>This one is hard to explain in print. Let x be the side of the rectangle on the hypotenuse and y be the other side. There is a triangle formed at the right angle of the original which is similar to the original. 
So x is to 10 as z is to 8: x/10 = z/8 
and z = 4/5 x 
The upper part of that leg would be 8 - 4/5 x 

The triangle at the top is also similar: 
So y is to 6 as (8 - 4/5 x) is to 10: y/6 = (8-4/5 x)/10 
and y = 3/5 (8- 4/5 x) = 24/5 - 12/25 x 

Now area = xy 
Deriv = 0 and solve </span>

Aleka and Helene both opened savings accounts that earn 2.5% interest a year. Aleka puts $2,500 into her account. Helene put $1,
Xelga [282]

Given:

Amount in Aleka and Helene accounts represented by the following function:

Aleka: f(x) = 2500(1.025)^x

Helene: g(x) = 1500(1.025)^x + 200x

To find:

The function represents the difference, h(x) = f(x) -g(x), between the value of Aleka's and Helene's total savings after x years.

Solution:

We have,

f(x) = 2500(1.025)^x

g(x) = 1500(1.025)^x + 200x

Now,

h(x) = f(x)-g(x)

h(x) = 2500(1.025)^x-[1500(1.025)^x + 200x]

h(x) = 2500(1.025)^x-1500(1.025)^x - 200x

h(x) = 1000(1.025)^x - 200x

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Currently, Nora is 3 time as old as damon. In 8 years she will be only 2 time as old as Damon. How old will Damon will be in 8 y
Ann [662]

In 8 years Damon will be 16 year's old.

We have Nora who 3 time as old as Damon and in 8 years she will be only 2 time as old as Damon.

We have to determine how old will Damon  be in 8 years.

<h3>If your present age is x and your sister is 4 years elder than you. Than what will be her age after 5 years from now.</h3>

Your present age = x.

Hence, your sister's present age = x + 4.

After five years, your age = x + 5.

Hence, your sister's age will be = x + 9.

According to question, we have -

Assume that the present age of Damon is x.

Then, Nora's age will be = y = 3x.

After 8 years -

Damon's age = x + 8

Nora's age = 3x + 8

Therefore -

3x + 8 = 2(x + 8)

3x + 8 = 2x + 16

x = 8

Hence, in 8 years Damon will be = 8 + 8 = 16 year's old.
