Answer:

y=5,902,060*(.957)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the original amount would be decreasing and it's an exponential one, hence the "every year", we can determine that it's an exponential decay equation.

The exponential delay equation is y=A*(1-r)^t. The y is the remaining amount, A is the original amount, r is the rate in decimal form, and t is for years. "1-r" is for decreasing rates and "1+r" is for increasing rates.

First thing we need to do is turn the rate, 4.3%, from a percentage to a decimal. You can do this by moving the decimal two places to the right, which gives you 0.043.

Now plug the numbers into the equation.

y=5,902,060*(1-0.043)^t

Simplify what's inside the parenthesis and get your final equation.

y=5,902,060*(.957)^t

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

4.72 hours/day

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean time spent watching TV (μ) = 2.8 hours a day  

Standard deviation (σ) = 1.5 hours a day

The 90th percentile (upper 10%) of a normal distribution has an equivalent z-score of roughly z = 1.282. The minimum time spent watching TV, X, at the 90th percentile is:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \\1.282=\frac{X-2.8}{1.5}\\ X=4.72\ hours/day  

On a typical day, you must watch at least 4.72 hours of TV to be in the upper 10%.
