John ran 6 1/2. Ben ran half of that, so he had run 3 1/4 and Sarah ran 4.75 miles. Add those up and you get 14.5

Determine what type of model best fits the given situation:

lyudmila [28]

Let value intially be = P

Then it is decreased by 20 %.

So 20% of P = $\frac{20}{100} \times P = 0.2P$

So after 1 year value is decreased by 0.2P

so value after 1 year will be = P - 0.2P (as its decreased so we will subtract 0.2P from original value P) = 0.8P-------------------------------------(1)

Similarly for 2nd year, this value 0.8P will again be decreased by 20 %

so 20% of 0.8P = $\frac{20}{100} \times 0.8P = (0.2)(0.8P)$

So after 2 years value is decreased by (0.2)(0.8P)

so value after 2 years will be = 0.8P - 0.2(0.8P)

taking 0.8P common out we get 0.8P(1-0.2)

= 0.8P(0.8)

$=P(0.8)^{2}$ -------------------------(2)

Similarly after 3 years, this value $P(0.8)^{2}$ will again be decreased by 20 %

so 20% of $P(0.8)^{2} \frac{20}{100} \times P(0.8)^{2} = (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}$

So after 3 years value is decreased by $(0.2)P(0.8)^{2}$

so value after 3 years will be = $P(0.8)^{2} - (0.2)P(0.8)^{2}$

taking $P(0.8)^{2}$ common out we get $P(0.8)^{2}(1-0.2)$

$P(0.8)^{2}(0.8)$

$P(0.8)^{3}$ -----------------------(3)

so from (1), (2), (3) we can see the following pattern

value after 1 year is P(0.8) or $P(0.8)^{1}$

value after 2 years is $P(0.8)^{2}$

value after 3 years is $P(0.8)^{3}$

so value after x years will be $P(0.8)^{x}$ ( whatever is the year, that is raised to power on 0.8)

So function is best described by exponential model

$y = P(0.8)^{x}$ where y is the value after x years

so thats the final answer

At a manufacturing plant where switches are made, it is a known fact that 2% of all switches are defective. If two switches are

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The probability that exactly one switch is good is

$P(x) =0.0392$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a switch is defective is:

$P(D) = \frac{2}{100} =0.02$

The probability that a switch is not defective is

$P(D') = 1-P(D)=0.98$

Therefore, if two switches are selected, the probability that exactly 1 is good is:

$P(1=1)=P (D) P (D ') + P (D') P (D)$

$P(x)=(0.02)(0.98) + (0.98)(0.02)$

$P(x) =0.0392$

Whats the GFC of 18 , 60 ?

kirill [66]

Answer:

If you are reffering to GCF then the GCF would be explained like this

Find the prime factorization of 18

18 = 2 × 3 × 3

Find the prime factorization of 60

60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

To find the gcf, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers:

Therefore, GCF = 2 × 3

GCF = 6
