Answer:

11.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached a diagram for you to easily visualize this problem.

To solve this problem, you would use the pythagorean theorem. The 12-ft ladder is the hypotenuse and the 3 ft from the barn is one of the side legs. You want to find the length of the "other side leg", or the height of the barn.

Substitute 3, 12, and x into the pythagorean theorem like so.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + x^2 = 12^2

Evaluate the exponents.

9 + x^2 = 144

Subtract 9 from both sides.

x^2 = 135

Square root both sides.

x = 11.618

Round this to the nearest tenth: 11.6 feet.

The sample consisted of 50 night students, with a sample mean GPA of 3.02 and a standard deviation of 0.08, and 25 day students,
bulgar [2K]

Answer: The test statistic is t= -0.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n₁ = 50

n₂ = 25

\bar{x_1}=3.02\\\\\bar{x_2}=3.04\\\\\sigma_1=0.08\\\\\sigma_2=0.06

So, s would be

s=\sqrt{\dfrac{n_1\sigma_1^2+n_2\sigma_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}}\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{50\times 0.08^2+25\times 0.06^2}{50+25-2}}\\\\s=0.075

So, the value of test statistic would be

t=\dfrac{\bar{x_1}-\bar{x_2}}{s(\dfrac{1}{n_1}+\dfrac{1}{n_2})}\\t=\dfrac{3.02-3.04}{0.074(\dfrac{1}{50}+\dfrac{1}{25})}\\\\t=\dfrac{-0.04}{0.074(0.02+0.04)}\\\\t=\dfrac{-0.04}{0.044}\\\\t=-0.90

Hence, the test statistic is t= -0.90.

A credit card had an APR of 15.98% all of last year, and compounded interest daily. What was the credit card's effective interes
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Option(B) is the correct answer to the given question.

Step by Step Explanation

We know that

A\ =\ P \ *(\ 1+\ \frac{r}{n} \ ) ^{nt}

Here A=amount

r=15.98%=0.1598

n=365

t=1

Putting these values into the equation

A\ =\ P \ *(\ 1+\ \frac{0.1598}{365} \ ) ^{365}

A\ =\ P \ *(\ 1+\ 0.000437) ^\ { 365}

A\ =\ P \ *(\ 1.000437 ) ^{365}

A\ =1.17288 P

Now we find the interest

I=1.17288P\ -P\\=\ 0.17288P\\\ ~ 0.1720P

Therefore effective interest rate of the last year can be determined by

\frac{0.1720P}{P}

=0.1720 *100

=17.20%

∵ The formula of the compound interest is

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

→ A is the new amount

→ P in the initial amount

→ r is the interest rate in decimal

→ n is the number of periods

→ t is the time

∵ The initial amount is 800 dollars

∵ The annual rate is 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

∵ It is a compounded annually

∴ n = 1

∵ t = 5 years

→ Substitute all of these values in the formula above

\begin{gathered} A=800(1+\frac{0.03}{1})^{1(5)} \\ A=800(1+0.03)^5 \end{gathered}

→ Use the calculator to find the answer

∴ A = 927.4192594 dollars
