George earned a total of $342 in simple interest from two separate accounts. In an account earning 5% interest, George invested

Maslowich

Answer: he invested $6000 in the account earning 5% interest and $2100 in the other account earning 2% interest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested in the account earning 5% interest.

Let y represent the amount invested in the account earning 2% interest.

In an account earning 5% interest, George invested $1800 more than twice the amount he invested in an account earning 2%. It means that

x = 2y + 1800

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal

R represents interest rate

T represents time in years

I = interest after t years

Assuming the duration for both investments is 1 year,

The interest on the first account would be

I = (x × 5 × 1)/100 = 0.05x

The interest on the second account would be

I = (y × 2 × 1)/100 = 0.02y

George earned a total of $342 in simple interest from two separate accounts. This means that

0.05x + 0.02y = 342 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 2y + 1800 into equation 1, it becomes

0.05(2y + 1800) + 0.02y = 342

0.1y + 90 + 0.02y = 342

0.1y + 0.02y = 342 - 90

0.12y = 252

y = 252/0.12 = 2100

x = 2y + 1800 = 2 × 2100 + 1800 = $6000

The television show CSI: Shoboygan has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 18, meaning that among

jeyben [28]

Answer:

(a) The value of P (None) is 0.062.

(b) The value of P(at least one) is 0.938.

(c) The value of P(at most one) is 0.253.

(d) The event is not unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of households watching the show.

The probability of the random variable x is, P (X) = p = 0.18.

The sample selected for the survey is of size, n = 14

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameter n = 14 and p = 0.18.

The probability of a Binomial distribution is computed using the formula:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,...$

(a)

Compute the probability that none of the households are tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

$P(X=0)={14\choose 0}(0.18)^{0}(1-0.18)^{14-0}=1\times1\times0.06214=0.062$

Thus, the value of P (None) is 0.062.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

P (X ≥ 1) = 1 - P (X < 1)

= 1 - P (X = 0)

$=1-0.062\\=0.938$

Thus, the value of P(at least one) is 0.938.

(c)

Compute the probability that at most one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan as follows:

P (X ≤ 1) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1)

$={14\choose 0}(0.18)^{0}(1-0.18)^{14-0}+{14\choose 1}(0.18)^{1}(1-0.18)^{14-1}\\=0.062+0.191\\=0.253$

Thus, the value of P(at most one) is 0.253.

(d)

An event that has a very low probability of occurrence is known as an unusual event.

The probability of the event "at most one household is tuned to CSI: Shoboygan" is 0.253.

This probability value is not low.

Hence, the event is not unusual.

Write as a unit rate: 36 gallons to 9 minutes *

Nataly_w [17]

Answer

36/9= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a fraction equal to

36 gallons ÷ 9 minutes

We want a unit rate where

1 is in the denominator,

so we divide top and bottom by 9

36 gallons ÷ 9

9 minutes ÷ 9

=

4 gallons

1 minute

=

4 gallons

minute

= 4 gallons per minute
