Jenna's parents have given her an running shoes. interest-free loan of $100 to buy a new pair of She plans to pay back the loan

with monthly $20 each a. write a function rule for the balance function B(p), where p represents the number of payments that Jenna has made. b. After how many payments will Jenna have paid back more than half the loan? Explain your reasoning. c. Suppose the loan amount were $120 and the monthly payments were $15. Write a rule for the new balance function and use it to determine how long it would take Jenna to pay off the loan.

A.) Since there is not interest, there is no time value of money to be recovered. That means that the $100 today, would still be $100 a few years from now. The balance function would then be:

B(p) = $100 - 20p

b.)  Since the half of 100 is 50, equate B(p) to 50

B(p) = 50 = 100 - 20p
p = 2.5

Therefore, after 3 payments, Jenna have paid back more than half of the loan.

c.1) The same procedure is done as that of part a. However, the base amount is $120 instead of $100, and the $20 is replaced with $15. The new equation becomes:

B(p) = 120 - 15p

c.2) To determine the time, let the balance zero out.

0 = 120 - 15p
Solving for p,
p = 8

Thus, Jenna could pay back the loan after 8 months.

Express the confidence interval 0.555 less than 0.777 in the form Modifying above p with caret plus or minus Upper E.
Elina [12.6K]

Complete Question

Express the confidence interval 0.555 less than p less than  0.777 in the form Modifying above p with caret plus or minus Upper E.

Answer:

The modified representation is \r p \pm  E  = 0.666 \pm  0.111

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  confidence interval interval is  0.555 <  p <  0.777

Now looking at the values that make up  the up confidence interval we see that this is a symmetric  confidence interval(This because the interval covers 95%  of the area under the normal curve which mean that the probability of a value falling outside the interval is 0.05 which is divided into two , the first half on the left -tail and the second half on the right tail  as shown on the figure in the first uploaded image(reference - Yale University ) ) which means

     Now  since the confidence interval is  symmetric , we can obtain the sample proportion as follows

             \r p  =  \frac{0.555 + 0.777}{2}

            \r p  =0.666

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

            E  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  K

Where  K is the length of the confidence interval which iis mathematically represented as

           K  =  0.777 -0.555

         K  = 0.222

Hence  

          ME  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  0.222

           ME  =  0.111

So the confidence interval can now be represented as

        \r p \pm  E  = 0.666 \pm  0.111

sattari [20]

Based on the calculations that 300 is 40%, 375 is considered 50% or halfway.. in this case, we must multiply 375 by 2 and we will discover how many students were surveyed:

375 x 2 = 750
