Every evening, two weather stations issue weather forecast for the next day. The weather forecasts are independent. On average,

the weather forecast of station 1 is correct 90% of the cases, irrespective of weather type. This percentage is 80% for station 2. Suppose that, without any forecast, the belief is that the next day rains or has sunny weather each with a 50% chance. On a given day, station 1 predicts sunny weather for the next day, whereas station 2 predicts rain. What is the probability that the weather forecast of station 1 will be correct?

Answer:

The probability is 0.6923

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call R the event that the next day rains, S the event that the next day has sunny weather, R2 the event that the station 2 predicts rain and S1 the event that station 1 predict sunny weather.

The probability that the next day has sunny weather given that station 1 predicts sunny weather for the next day and station 2 predicts rain is calculated as:

P(S/S1∩R2) = P(S∩S1∩R2)/P(S1∩R2)

Where P(S1∩R2) = P(R∩S1∩R2) + P(S∩S1∩R2)

So, the probability P(R∩S1∩R2) that the next day rains, Station 1 predicts sunny weather and Station 2 predicts Rain is calculate as:

P(R∩S1∩R2) = 0.5 * 0.1 * 0.8 = 0.04

Because 0.5 is the probability that the next day rains, 0.1 is the probability that station 1 predicts sunny weather given that it is going to rain and 0.8 is the probability that station 2 predicts rain given that it is going to rain.

At the same way, the probability P(S∩S1∩R2) that the next day has sunny weather, Station 1 predicts sunny weather and Station 2 predicts Rain is calculate as:

P(S∩S1∩R2) = 0.5 * 0.9 * 0.2 = 0.09

Then, the probability P(S1∩R2) that station 1 predicts sunny weather for the next day, whereas station 2 predicts rain is:

P(S1∩R2) = 0.04 + 0.09 = 0.13

Finally, P(S/S1∩R2) is:

P(S/S1∩R2) = 0.09/0.13 = 0.6923

Question: How long does it take an investment to quadruple in value if it earns 4% simple interest per year?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

It takes 75 years for the investment to quadruple in value

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P

In this question:

4% simple interest per year, so I = 0.04.

Quadruple:

t when T = 4P.

The interest earned is:

T = E + P

4P = E + P

E = 3P

Now we find the time.

E = P*0.04*t

3P = P*0.04*t

0.04t = 3

t = \frac{3}{0.04}

t = 75

It takes 75 years for the investment to quadruple in value
