Answer:

  $359.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in the investment values can be computed by making use of the formulas for the account balance in each case.

  compound interest: A = P(1 +r)^t . . . . interest at rate r compounded annually

  simple interst: A = P(1 +rt) . . . . simple interest at rate r

__

The account earning simple interest will have a balance of ...

  A = $8000(1 +0.12×3) = $10,880

The account earning compound interest will have a balance of ...

  A = $8000(1 +0.12)^3 ≈ $11,239.42

The difference between the two investments is ...

  $11,239.42 -10,880 = $359.42

leva [86]

Answer: 90% of people getting married for the first time get married before age of 31.13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The average age (\mu) for a person getting married for the first time is 26 years (U.S. News and World Report, June 6, 1994).

We assume that  the ages for first marriages have a normal distribution with a standard deviation (\sigma) of 4 years.

Let x be the age before that 90% of people getting married for the first time get married.

From z-table , the value corresponds to p-value of 0.90 is 1.28155.

Formula : z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

1.28155=\dfrac{x-26}{4}\\\\ x-26=4\times1.28155\\\\ x-26=5.1262\\\\ x=5.1262+26=31.1262\approx31.13

Hence, 90% of people getting married for the first time get married before age of 31.13.
