Dave and Ellen are newly married and living in their first house. The yearly premium on their homeowner's insurance policy is $4

50 for the coverage they need. Their insurance company offers a 5 percent discount if they install dead-bolt locks on all exterior doors. The couple can also receive a 2 percent discount if they install smoke detectors on each floor. They have contacted a locksmith, who will provide and install dead-bolt locks on the two exterior doors for $50 each. At the local hardware store, smoke detectors cost $7 each, and the new house has two floors. Dave and Ellen can install them themselves.

Answer:

A. 4.44years

B. 1.5years

C. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Calculation to determine how many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the dead-bolts

First step is to determine the Annual discount for dead-bolts using this formula

Annual discount for dead-bolts=Discount percent × Annual premium

Let plug in the formula

Annual discount for dead-bolts=0.05 × $450

Annual discount for dead-bolts=$22.50

Now let determine the Recovery period using this formula

Recovery period=Cost of dead-bolts / Annual discount for dead-bolts

Let plug in the formula

Recovery period= (2 × $50)/ $22.50

Recovery period=$100/$22.50

Recovery period= 4.44years

Therefore Assuming their insurance rates remain the same, how many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the dead-bolts will be 4.44years

b. Calculation to determine How many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the smoke detectors

First step is to calculate the Annual discount for smoke alarms using this formula

Annual discount for smoke alarms=Discount percent × Annual premium

Let plug in the formula

Annual discount for smoke alarms=0.02 × $450

Annual discount for smoke alarms=$9.00

Now let determine the Recovery period using this formula

Recovery period=Cost of smoke alarms / Annual discount for smoke alarms

Let plug in the formula

Recovery period=(2 × $7) / $9.00

Recovery period=$14/$9.00

Recovery period= 1.5 years

Therefore How many years will it take Dave and Ellen to earn back in discounts the cost of the smoke detectors will be 1.5years

C. YES, Based on the information I WOULD recommend Dave and Ellen to invest in the SAFETY ITEMS, if they plan to stay in that house for about 5 years reason been that a home that is equipped with HOME SAFETY ITEMS can help to prevent UNFORESEEABLE ACCIDENTS that may occur, which is why SAFETY ITEMS is vital for every home regardless of the recovery period.

Suppose the same quantity is measured but with a more precise method giving an average and standard deviation of 15.0 ± 2.5. how
abruzzese [7]

To solve this, we use the z test.

The formula:

z = (x – u) / s

where x is sample value = 20, u is the mean = 15, and s is the standard deviation = 2.5

z = (20 – 15) / 2.5

z = 2

Since we are looking for values greater than 20, this is right tailed test. We use the standard distribution tables to find for P.

P = 0.0228

 

Therefore:

number of students = 100 * 0.0228 = 2.28

 

<span>2 to 3 students will get greater than 20 measurement</span>

What is 0.05 repeating as a fraction ?
grin007 [14]
This is the best I got Require to make 2 equations with the same repeating part and subtract them to eliminate the repeating part.

begin by letting x = 0.5555555................. (1)

To obtain the same repeating part after the decimal point need to multiply by 10

hence 10x = 5.555555........................(2)

It is important to obtain 2 equations in x, where the recurring part after the decimal points are exactly the same.

now subtract (1) from (2) to obtain fraction

(2) - (1) : <span>9x=5⇒x=<span><span>59</span></span></span>
