The given final course grade, 88%, is the average of Frank's four quarter grades. The average is the sum of all grades divided among the four quarters. Let x be the average,
(82.5 + 94.7 + 87.9 + x) / 4 = 88
The value of x is equal to 86.9. Thus, the answer is letter C. 87%.
Answer:
The spinner has 6 equal-sized slices, so each slice has a 1/6 probability of showing up.
I guess that we want to find the expected value in one spin:
number 1: wins $1
number 2: wins $3
number 3: wins $5
number 4: wins $7
number 5: losses $8
number 6: loses $8
The expected value can be calculated as:
Ev = ∑xₙpₙ
where xₙ is the event and pₙ is the probability.
We know that the probability for all the events is 1/6, so we have:
Ev = ($1 + $3 + $5 + $7 - $8 - $8)*(1/6) = $0
So the expected value of this game is $0, wich implies that is a fair game.
Answer:
It takes at least 7 months for the cat to be at least 6 kg lighter than the original weight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use exponential decay formula:
A = P (1-r)t
A = amount decreased to
P = original amount
r = rate of decrease
t = time
6 ≥ 12 (1-0.10)t divide both sides by 12
0.5 ≥ (0.9)t take log of both sides
log (0.5) ≥ log (0.9)t power rule of logs lets the exponent t drop to front of log to become a factor
log (0.5) ≥ t log(0.9) divide both sides by log(0.9) which is negative so reverse the inequality sign
log (0.5) / log (0.9) ≤ t use calculator
6.57 ≤ t
It takes at least 7 months for the cat to be at least 6 kg lighter that original weight.
check:
12 (0.9)7≈ 5.73
12 (0.9)6 ≈ 6.37
Answer:
original price is x
discount is 10%
discounted price =10%of x
=10/100×x
=x/10
