There are 24 possible answers, 6 are correct answers and 18 are incorrect answers. By use of the hypergeometric distribution the probabilities of each possible number of randomly selected correct answers can be found, as follows:
P(0) = 0.1379, P(1) = 0.3819, P(2) = 0.341, P(3) = 0.1213, P(4) = 0.017, P(5) = 0.0008, P(6) = 0.000007.
The expected or mean number of correct answers is found from:
E(X)=0\times0.1379+1\times0.3819+2\times0.341+3\times0.1213+4\times0.017+5\times0.0008+6\times0.000007=1.4998
The answer is: 1.4998

Clark and Lana take a 30-year home mortgage of $128,000 at 7.8%, compounded monthly. They make their regular monthly payments fo
svp [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The present value of the house = 128000

interest rate compounded monthly r = 7.8% = 0.078

number of months in a year n= 12

duration of time t = 30 years

To find their regular monthly payment, we have:

PV = P \begin {bmatrix}  \dfrac{1 - (1 + \dfrac{r}{n})^{-nt}}{\dfrac{r}{n}}    \end {bmatrix}

128000 = P \begin {bmatrix}  \dfrac{1 - (1 + \dfrac{0.078}{12})^{- 12*30}}{\dfrac{0.078}{12}}    \end {bmatrix}

128000 = 138.914 P

P = 128000/138.914

P = $921.433

∴ Their regular monthly payment P = $921.433

To find the unpaid balance when they begin paying the $1400.

when they begin the payment ,

t = 30 year - 5years

t= 25 years

PV= 921.433 \begin {bmatrix}  \dfrac{1 - (1 - \dfrac{0.078}{12})^{25*30}}{\dfrac{0.078}{12}}    \end {bmatrix}

PV = $121718.2714

C) In order to estimate how many payments of $1400  it will take to pay off the loan, we have:

121718.2714 =  \begin {bmatrix}  \dfrac{1300  (1 - \dfrac{12.078}{12}))^{-nt}}{\dfrac{0.078}{12}}    \end {bmatrix}

121718.2714 = 200000  \begin {bmatrix}  (1 - \dfrac{12.078}{12}))^{-nt}   \end {bmatrix}

\dfrac{121718.2714}{200000 } =  \begin {bmatrix}  (1 - \dfrac{12.078}{12}))^{-nt}   \end {bmatrix}

0.60859 =  \begin {bmatrix}  (1 - \dfrac{12}{12.078}))^{nt}   \end {bmatrix}

0.60859 = (0.006458)^{nt}

nt = \dfrac{0.60859}{0.006458}

nt = 94.238 payments is required to pay off the loan.

How much interest will they save by paying the loan using the number of payments from part (c)?

The total amount of interest payed on $921.433 = 921.433 × 30(12) years

= 331715.88

The total amount paid using 921.433 and 1300 = (921.433 × 60 )+( 1300 + 94.238)

= 177795.38

The amount of interest saved = 331715.88  - 177795.38

The amount of interest saved = $153920.5
