$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\I = Prt\qquad\begin{cases}I=\textit{interest earned}\dotfill &\$2700\\P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$5000\\r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\dotfill &0.0r\\t=years\dotfill &9\end{cases}\\\\\\2700=(5000)(0.0r)(9)\implies 2700=45000(0.0r)\implies \cfrac{2700}{45000}=0.0r\\\\\\\cfrac{3}{50} = 0.0r\implies \cfrac{3}{50} = \cfrac{r}{100}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 100}{50}=r\implies 6 = \stackrel{\%}{r}$

(x−5) ^2 in expanded

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

$x^{2}-10x+25$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite the question as (x-5)*(x-5).

Using the FOIL Method (First, Outside, Inside, Last):

$x^{2}-5x-5x+25$

This simplifies to $x^{2}-10x+25$

Consider a series system composed of 4 separate components where each component has a 30% chance of failing. Assume each compone

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

16.15% probability that exactly 3 of them would function

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of each system working:

4 components, which means that $n = 4$

Each has a 30% probability of failing, so $p = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7$

For the system to work, all 4 components have to work. This is P(X = 4).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.7)^{4}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.2401$

0.2401 probability of a system working.

If you have 7 of these systems, what is the probability that exactly 3 of them would function?

Now 7 systems, so $n = 7$

0.2401 probability of a system working.

We have to find P(X = 3).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.2401)^{3}.(0.7599)^{4} = 0.1615$

16.15% probability that exactly 3 of them would function

Math SAT: Suppose the national mean SAT score in mathematics was 510. In a random sample of 50 graduates from Stevens High, the

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Mean SAT score for Stevens High graduates are not the same as the national average.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in question:

Population mean, μ = 510

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 501

Sample size, n = 50

Alpha, α = 0.10

Sample standard deviation, s = 30

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 510\\H_A: \mu \neq 510$

We use Two-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n-1}} }$ Putting all the values, we have,

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{501 - 510}{\frac{30}{\sqrt{49}} } = -2.1$ Now,

$t_{critical} \text{ at 0.10 level of significance, 49 degree of freedom } = \pm 1.6765$ Since,

$t_{stat} < t_{critical}$

We reject the null hypothesis and fail to accept it.

We accept the alternate hypothesis and mean SAT score for Stevens High graduates are not the same as the national average.
