50 + 70h = 450
70h = 450 - 50
70h = 400
h = 400/70
h = 5.71.....to the nearest hr, it would be 6 hrs <=

Say you have $14,000 to invest into an investment account. You can either invest your money into an account with a 7% annual int

taurus [48]

Answer:

You should choose an account with a 7% annual interest rate which is compounded quarterly

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

part 1)

we have

$t=15\ years\\ P=\$14,000\\ r=0.07\\n=4$

substitute in the formula above

$A=14,000(1+\frac{0.07}{4})^{4*15}$

$A=14,000(1.0175)^{60}$

$A=\$39,645.43$

part 2)

we have

$t=15\ years\\ P=\$14,000\\ r=0.068\\n=12$

substitute in the formula above

$A=14,000(1+\frac{0.068}{12})^{12*15}$

$A=14,000(1.0057)^{180}$

$A=\$38,713.11$

A recipe calls for 10 cups of oatmeal. Benjamin wants to make fewer servings than the recipe makes.

almond37 [142]

Both A and C are acceptable answers, because they will make either .8xoriginal servings or .2xoriginal servings.

Using a 52 card deck, how many 5 card hands have either 5 hearts or 4 hearts and 1 club

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

10,582

Step-by-step explanation:

We can choose 5 cards from 52 card deck in

$n = \binom{52}{5} = \frac{52!}{5!(52-5)!} = \frac{52!}{5!47!} = \frac{\cancel{47!} \cdot 48 \cdot 49 \cdot 50 \cdot 51 }{5! \cancel{47!}} = \frac{ 48 \cdot 49 \cdot 50 \cdot 51 }{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 \cdot 5} = 2 \; 598 \; 960$

ways.

Now, let's calculate the number of ways we can choose 5 hearts. We know that in a 52 card deck, we have 13 hearts. Therefore, the number of ways to choose 5 hearts is

$n_1 = \binom{13}{5} = \frac{13!}{5!(13-5)!} = \frac{13!}{5!8!} = \frac{8! \cdot 9 \cdot 10 \cdot 11 \cdot 12 \cdot 13}{5!8!} = \frac{9 \cdot 10 \cdot 11 \cdot 12 \cdot 13}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 \cdot 5} = 1287$

Similarly, number of ways to choose 4 hearts equals $\binom{13}{4}$ and number of ways to choose 1 club equals $\binom{13}{1}$ , since there are also 13 clubs in the deck.

Therefore, the number of ways of choosing 4 hearts and 1 club equals

$n_2 = \binom{13}{4} \cdot \binom{13}{1} = 9295$

The probability of this event is calculated as

$P(A) = \frac{\text{total number of ways to choose 5 hearts or 4 hearts and a club}}{\text{total number of ways to choose 5 cards from a deck of 52 cards}}$

Therefore

$P(A) = \frac{n_1+n_2}{n} = \frac{1287+9295}{2598960} =0.0040716 \approx 0.0041$
