Answer:

Limits for B scores

( 79,2 ; 92 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The interval we are looking for is between 6 % and 59%

p₁  = 6 %     p₁ = 0,06

As this point is at the right tail of the bell we better look for

p = 1- 0,06     p = 0,94

In z-table z score for 0,94062  is:    z₁ = 1,56      ( 0,94062 ≈ 0,94 )

Doing the same to find z₂ score for 59%  or 0,59

In z-table again

p =  0,59      

z₂ = 0,023

Now we know

1,56 * σ  = x₁ - 79

1,56*8,4 + 79 = x₁

x₁  =  92,10        or  x₁ = 92

And

0,023*8,4 + 79  = x₂

x₂ = 79,19         or    x₂ = 79,2

"<span>A company will need 40,000 in 6 years for a new addition. To meet the goal, the company deposits money into an account today that pays 4% annual intrest compund quarterly."  Let's pretend that the instructions state, "Determine the amount of money that must be deposited upfront so that you will have $40,000 in 6 years."

Use the Compound Amount formula:  A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt),
where P is the principal (the amount deposited upfront), r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, n is the number of compounding periods, and t is the time in years.

Here, $40000 = P(1 + 0.04/4)^(4*6)
                                                               $40000
So the upfront $ needed is      P =   -------------------------
                                                           (1+0.01)^24

This comes out to $31502.65 (answer)</span>

katrin [286]

Answer:

Circumference: 37.68

Area: 113.04

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula to find the circumference is 2 x 3.14 x r

r is the radius so you plug in 6 for that

2 x 3.14 x 6 = 37.68

the formula to find the area of a circle is 3.14 x r ²

r is still the radius so you plug in 6 for that

3.14 x 6² = 113.04
