Answer:

<em>$1.50</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total weekly pay of Hector modeled by the equation;

y = 10(8.5 + x)

We are to find the amount of Hector's raise per hour x given the total oay y = $100

Substitute y = 100 into the equation and find x  as shown;

y = 10(8.5 + x)

100 = 10(8.5+x)

100/10 = 8.5 + x

10 = 8.5 + x

x = 10 - 8.5

<em>x = 1.5</em>

<em>Hence the amount of Hector's raise per hour is $1.50</em>

Joan pays 456.25 monthly on her mortgage. If her annual insurance premium is 1,560 and her annual real estate tax is 1,890, what
defon
The combined payment is 743.75.

The annual amount of insurance is 1560.  Dividing this by 12 gives us the monthly amount paid:
1560/12 = 130.

The annual real estate taxes are 1890.  Dividing this by 12 gives us the monthly amount paid:
1890/12 = 157.50

We add these to the monthly mortgage payment to find the total amount:
456.25+130+157.50 = 743.75

Bob discovers a box with 30 identical, used, rechargeable batteries in his attic.

Answer:

a) All of them are out of charge = 9.31x10⁻¹⁰

b) 20% of them are out of charge = 5.529x10⁻⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be modeled as a binomial distribution since

There are n repeated trials and all of them are independent of each other.

There are only two possibilities: battery is out of charge and battery is not out of charge.

The probability of success does not change with trial to trial.

Since it is given that it is equally likely for the battery to be out of charge or not out of charge so probability of success is 50% or 0.50

P = 0.50

1 - P = 0.50

a) All of them are out of charge?

Probability = nCx * P^x * (1 - P)^n-x

Probability = ₃₀C₃₀(0.50)³⁰(0.50)⁰

Probability = 9.31x10⁻¹⁰

b) 20% of them are out of charge?

0.20*30 = 6 batteries are out of charge

Probability =₃₀C₆(0.50)²⁴(0.50)⁶

Probability = 5.529x10⁻⁴
