A whale costs $14700 and depreciates in value by 8% per year. When will the whale be worth $100

sammy [17]

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking

$14,700 * (1 - 8%)^x = $100

$14,700 * (1 - 0.08)^x = $100

$14,700 * (0.92)^x = $100

(0.92)^x = $100/$14,700

log(0.92^x) = log($100/$14,700)

x * log(0.92) = log(0.0068027)

x = log(0.0068027)/log(0.92)

x = 59.85

Since this question is asking in terms of years, we always round up (in this case to 60), as it won't fully be worth $100 by the beginning of the 59th year.

One of your friends is testing the effect of drinking coffee on the duration of cold symptoms. The common cold lasts, on average

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

0.0930

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that one of your friends is testing the effect of drinking coffee on the duration of cold symptoms. The common cold lasts, on average, 6 days.

she tests a one-sided alternative about the population mean cold duration when drinking coffee, H0: μcoffee = 6 Ha: μcoffee < 6 She finds z = −1.68 with one-sided P-value P = 0.0465.

If hypotheses changed to two tailed as:

$H_0: \mu_{coffee} = \mu_{tea}\\H_a: \mu_{coffee}\neq \mu_{tea}$

(Two tailed test)

Since we have mean difference and std error the same, test statistic would remain the same.

p value for two tailed would be = twice the p value for one tail

= $2(0.0465)\\= 0.0930$

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

18/44

Step-by-step explanation:

To turn 9/22 into something over 44, we need to figure out what to multiply it by.

44 / 22 = 2.

Multiply 9/22 by 2:

9/22 * 2 = 18/44
