You are debating about whether to buy a new computer for $800.00 or a refurbished computer with the same equipment for $640.00.

If a savings account earns 4.5% APR interest, how much do you really save with a refurbished computer if you put the difference into the savings account for a year?

Answer:

$167.2

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given that the price of a new computer is $800.00 and refurbished computer with the same equipment has a  price of $640.00.

Let us find the amount that we will save with a refurbished computer if we put the difference into the savings account for a year using simple interest formula.  

A=P(1+rt), where A= Amount after t years, P=principal amount, r = interest rate (decimal form) and t=time.

Our principal amount will be the difference of prices of new computer and refurbished computer.

\text{Principal amount}=800-640=160

\text{Interest rate}=\frac{4.5}{100}=0.045  

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

\text{Amount we will save with a refurbished computer}=160(1+0.045\times 1)

\text{Amount we will save with a refurbished computer}=160(1+0.045)  

\text{Amount we will save with a refurbished computer}=160(1.045)

\text{Amount we will save with a refurbished computer}=167.2

Therefore, we will save $167.2 with refurbished computer when we put the difference into the savings account for a year.

BaLLatris [955]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let p be the population proportion  of parents who had children in grades​ K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive.

Given : Several years​ ago, 39​% of parents who had children in grades​ K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive.

Set hypothesis to test :

H_0: p=0.39\\\\H_a :p\neq0.39

Sample size : n= 1055

Sample proportion : \hat{p}=\dfrac{466}{1055}=0.441706161137\approx0.44

Critical value for 95% confidence : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Confidence interval : \hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

0.44\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.39(1-0.39)}{1055}}\\\\0.44\pm0.0299536805135\\\\0.44\pm0.03\\\\=(0.44-0.03, 0.44+0.03)\\\\=(0.41,\ 0.47)

Since , Confidence interval does not contain 0.39.

It means we reject the null hypothesis.

We conclude that 95​% confidence interval represents evidence that​ parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.
