A. 8 shells
B. 12 Shells
C. 21 shells
D. 29 Shells

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The number of shells collected by Paula is 12 shells

The correct answer is B.

The given expression:

total number of shells collected by the friends, t = 43 shells

number of shells collected by Paula = x

number of shell collected by Bethany = 2x - 3

number of shell collected by Jerrell = [tex]\frac{x}{2} + 2[/tex]

To find:

the number of shells collected by Paula

The number of shells collected by Paula is calculated as follows:

[tex]x + (2x-3 ) + (\frac{x}{2} + 2) = 43\\\\3x + \frac{x}{2} - 1 = 43\\\\\frac{6x + x}{2} = 43 + 1\\\\\frac{7x}{2} = 44\\\\7x = 88\\\\x = \frac{88}{7} \\\\x \approx 12 \ shells[/tex]

Thus, the number of shells collected by Paula is 12 shells

Answer:

-9, -6, and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply evaluate the function at the extremes of the domain to find the range of elements that are solutions to f(x).

f(-1) = (1/2) - 10 = -9.5

f(3) = 8 - 10 = -2

Notice -9, -6, and -2 fall into those ranges. To verify integer solutions, simply plug in the remaining integers 0, 1, and 2.

f(0) = 1 - 10 = -9

f(1) = 2 - 10 = -8

f(2) = 4 - 10 = -6

Which of the following statements regarding immunization are true?
I. If long-term interest rates are lower than short-term rates, the need for immunization is reduced.
II. Either Macaulay or modified duration can be used to develop an immunization strategy.
III. Both processes of matching the present values of the flows or the flows themselves will produce exact matching
A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I, II and III
E. The correct answer is not given by (A), (B), (C), or (D).

Answers

Answer:

B. II only

Step-by-step explanation:

Immunisation is used to lower the risk factor that may arise due to change in interest rate . For it, cash inflow and cash outflow are matched in terms of their timing . In other words, effective duration of asset and liability are matched with the help of methods like cash flow matching , duration matching etc.

Even lowering of interest  rate in long term may entail risk because it may increase the bond price which may affect the business adversely in some way if bond is kept as liability . It may reduce the price of asset if it is held as asset .

Exact matching is possible only when matching of cash flow is achieved along with its timing . Matching of present value will not serve the purpose .

Macaulay or modified duration can be used to develop an immunization strategy . Both of them calculate the duration of asset and liability with some change in the method of calculation.

in a class there are 25 students 15 are boys what percentage are girls​

Answers

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students = 25

Boys = 15

Girls = 25 - 15 = 10

Percent of girls = 10/25

Percent is out of 100.

=> 10/25 = x/100

=> Cross multiply

=> 25 * x = 100 * 10

=> 25x = 1000

=> 25x/25 = 1000/25

=> x = 40

So, 40% are girls

Solve N=2rt^2-7rx for x​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

N = 2 r t² - 7 r x

solve for x

N = 2 r t² - 7 r x

N + (-2 r t²) = (2 r t²  - 7 r x) + (-2 r t²)

N - 2 r t² = 2 r t² - 7 r x - 2 r t²

N - 2 r t²  - 2 r t² +  2 r t² = - 7 r x

N - 2 r t² = 7 r x

Answers

1) x=6 (divide each side by 4 and simplify). 2)x=6 (divide each term by 3 and simplify). 3)x=9 (divide each side by 9 and simplify).

Answer: 1) 6 2) 6 3) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

4x=24 can be solved by dividing both sides by 4, which would isolate x. 4x divided by 4 is x, and 24 divided by 4 is 6. you are left with x = 6. the answer for 1) is 6.

3x = 18 can be solved similarly by dividing both sides by 3. you are left with x = 6.

9x = 81 is also solved similarly by dividing both sides by 9. 81 divided by 9 is 9, so x = 9.

Find x, if 3x − 5(y + x ) ^2 = 16 and 4x + 2(y + x )^ 2 = 30

Answers

Answer:

x is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 5(y + x)^2 = 16

3x - 16 = 5(y + x)^2

(y + x)^2 = 1/5(3x - 16) ------ eqn(I)

4x + 2(y + x)^2 = 30

2(y + x)^2 = 30 - 4x

(y + x)^2 = 1/2(30 - 4x) ------- eqn(II)

Equate eqn (I) & (II)

1/5(3x - 16) = 1/2(30 - 4x)

Multiply both sides by 10

2(3x - 16) = 5(30 - 4x)

6x - 32 = 150 - 20x

6x + 20x = 150 + 32

26x = 182

x = 182/26 = 7

Subtract.

Eight-ninths minus one-third

Answers

8/9 - 1/3

To subtract these two fractions, first find a common denominator.

The common denominator will be the

least common multiple for the two denominators.

In this case, the least common multiple of 9 and 3 is 9.

So to subtract, a denominator of 9 is needed in each fraction.

8/9 already has 9 in the denominator so it stays the same.

To get a 9 in the denominator of 1/3, multiply top and bottom by 3.

This gives us 3/9.

So we have 8/9 - 3/9 which is 5/9.

Answer:

Five-ninths

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the denominators are different (9 and 3) we need to change one of them.

9 is divisible by 3 therefor we do not need to change Eight-ninths.

3 times 3 = 9, nine becomes the new denominator, but remember, whatever we do to the bottom (denominator), we must also do to the top (numerator).

1 times 3 = 3

Now the equation is 8/9 - 3/9, we must only subtract the numerators. The answer is 5/9.

"Henri has calculated a z-test statistic of -2.73. What is the p-value of the test statistic? Answer choices are rounded to the thousandths place."

Answers

Answer:

0.003

Step-by-step explanation:

P-value = The value of probability.

P value can be defined are the probability of a given test statistic ( which could be z score, t score, f score) that is can be less than, equal to or greater than a given null hypothesis.

In the above question, the test statistic we are given = z score.

z score = -2.73

To find the P- value, we can make use of a z table for normal distribution.

Hence, P(z = -2.73) = 0.0031667

Approximately to the nearest thousandth = 0.003

hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Case-Control Calculation Enter only numeric values into the answer line. Place a leading 0 before the decimal and remember to round to two decimal places. Note your answers for the next short essay question. Swine Influenza (SI) is a growing concern at the local Broncoville Health Department in Lawrence, Kansas. You are working for a pharmaceutical company which is developing a human vaccine against SI. You are in charge of testing the vaccine’s effectiveness. You need to determine if one or two doses of vaccine is required to provide immunity. You field test and collect the following information about the vaccine status of persons who did and did not contract SI after getting either one or two doses of vaccine. Develop a 2 x 2 table with the following information: Of the 727 cases of SI, 203 received two doses of vaccine. Of 1,239 controls, 771 received two doses of vaccine for SI. What is the likelihood of contracting SI with only one dose of vaccine?

1. Calculate the incidence of persons with one dose of vaccine for SI

2. Calculate the incidence of persons with two doses of vaccine for SI

3. Calculate the odds ratio of developing SI among those with one dose of vaccine for SI

answer : 1) ≈ 0.53 , (2)  ≈ 0.21,  (3)  ≈ 1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

cases of SI = 727

number of SI cases that received two doses of vaccine = 203

number of SI cases that received one dose of vaccine = 727 -203 = 524

controls = 1239

number of controls that received two doses of vaccine = 771

number of controls that received one dose of vaccine = 1239 - 771 = 468

I) The incidence of persons with one dose of vaccine for SI

= 524 / 992 = 0.528 ≈ 0.53

2) The incidence of persons with two doses of vaccine for SI = 203/974 = 0.208 ≈ 0.21

3) The Odds of SI in one dose group

=  524/468 = 1.119 ≈ 1.12

15 m
25 m
5 m
5 m
4) 10 m​

Answers

Answer:

h = 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height

Area = 100 m²

base = 20 m

therefore,

100 m² = 1/2 * 20 m * h

h = 100 / 10

h = 10 m

The height will be 10 m.

What is area?

Area is defined as the total space taken up by a flat (2-D) surface or shape of an object.

Given that, the area of a triangle is 100 m² and base is 20 m.

The area of a triangle = 1/2xbasexheight

100 = 1/2x20xh

h = 100/10

h = 10

Find the volume of the cube 8cm

Answers

Answer:

512 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length is 8 cm

V = s^3 where s is the side length

V = 8^3

   =512 cm^3

Answer: 512 cm³

Explanation: Since the length, width, and height of a cube are all equal,

we can find the volume of a cube by multiplying side × side × side.

So we can find the volume of a cube using the formula v = s³.

In the cube in this problem, we have a side length of 8 cm.

So plugging into the formula, we have (8 cm)³

or (8 cm)(8 cm)(8 cm), which is 512 cm³.

So the volume of the cube is 512 cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

We multiply and simplify (3-5i)(-2+4i)​ to get:

14 + 22i

How to multiply and simplify (3-5i)(-2+4i)​?

A complex number is a number of the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is an imaginary unit satisfying i² = -1. For example, 2 + 3i is a complex number.

Complex numbers can be multiplied using the following rules:

(a + bi)(c + di) = (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i

Thus, the two complex numbers can be multiplied and simplified as follow:

(3-5i)(-2+4i)​ = 3(-2+4i)​ -5i(-2+4i)​

                    = 3(-2) + 3(4i) -5i(-2) -5i(4i)

                    = -6 + 12i + 10i -20i²

                   = -6 + 22i + 20    (Note: i² = -1)

                   = -6 + 20 + 22i
