Answer:

5 K -2 k +1

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is a + in front of an expression in parentheses, the expression remains the same.

5 K -2 K - (-1)

When there is a - in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression

5 K - 2k +1

The Washington, DC, region has one of the fastest-growing foreclosure rates in the nation, as 15,613 homes went into foreclosure

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

a) 0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b) 0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c) The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each home, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it goes into foreclosure, or it does not. The probability of a home going into foreclosure is independent of other homes. This means that 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.

a. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure?

The foreclosure rate is 1.31% for the Washington, DC area, which means that $p = 0.0131$

We wanto to find, with $n = 100$ :

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0131)^{0}.(0.9869)^{100} = 0.2675$

$P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0131)^{1}.(0.9869)^{99} = 0.3551$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2675 + 0.3551 = 0.6226$

0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure?

Foreclosure rate of 0.87% for the nation, which means that $p = 0.0087$ . So

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0087)^{0}.(0.9913)^{100} = 0.4174$

$P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0087)^{1}.(0.9913)^{99} = 0.3663$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.4174 + 0.3663 = 0.7837$

0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c. Comment on the above findings.

The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.

2. The water level in a reservoir is now 52 meters. Which equation can be used to find the initial depth, d, if this is the wate

Maru [420]

Answer:

1.23d = 52

Explanation:

If 52 meters is the water level after a 23% increase, then we can say that the initial depth d added to the 23% of d is equal to 52 meters. So:

d + 23%d = 52 meters

Since 23% is equivalent to 0.23, we get:

d + 0.23d = 52

Finally, adding the like terms, we get:

(1 + 0.23)d = 52

1.23d = 52

So, the equation is:

1.23d = 52

Jordan is putting a fence around a garden that is shaped like a half circle and rectangle

grin007 [14]

Answer:

92 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the garden has the shape shown below.

The length of fencing equals the distance around three sides of the rectangle plus that around the semicircle.

1. Around the rectangle

Distance = 28 ft + 14 ft + 28 ft = 70 ft

2. Around the semicircle

For a circle.

C = 2πr

For the semicircle,

½C =½(2πr) = πr

D = 14 ft, so

r = 7 ft

$\text{Distance} = \dfrac{22}{7} \times \text{7 ft} = \text{22 ft}$

3. Total distance

Distance = 70 ft + 22 ft = 92 ft

Jordan will need 92 ft of fencing.

Jim and Dianna want to save for their child’s college expenses. They find an annuity that pays 6% annual interest, compounded mo

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

future value = $49163.8

so required amount will be $491200 nearest $100

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

annual interest rate = 6 %

annuity = $300 per month

time period = 10 years

to find out

how much money will they have for the college expenses

solution

we know that effective rate will be

effective rate = $\frac{0.06}{12}$

effective rate = 5 × $10^{-3}$

number of payment = 12 × 10 = 120

so future value will be express as

future value = annuity × $\frac{(1+r)^t-1}{r}$ .........1

future value = 300 × $\frac{(1+5*10^{-3})^{120}-1}{5*10^{-3}}$

future value = 300 × 163.8793

future value = $49163.8

so required amount will be $491200 nearest $100
