Selling price of the chair = 1440 rupees
Percentage of loss made by the shopkeeper = 10%
Let us assume the price at which the shopkeeper bought the chair = x
Then
90% * x = 1440 rupees
(90/100) * x = 1440 rupees
9x/10 = 1440 rupees
9x = 1440 * 10 rupees
9x = 14400 rupees
x = 14400/9 rupees
= 1600 rupees
So the price at which the shopkeeper bought the chair was 1600 rupees. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to inderstand.

Kaylee invested $910 in an account paying an interest rate of 2.6% compounded

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$1,179

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use the compound interest formula provided to solve this:

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

P = initial balance

r = interest rate (decimal)

n = number of times compounded annually

t = time

First, lets change 2.6% into a decimal:

2.6% -> $\frac{2.6}{100}$ -> 0.026

Since the interest is compounded quarterly, we will use 4 for n. Lets plug in the values now:

$A=910(1+\frac{0.026}{4})^{4(10)}$

$A=1,179.21$

The account balance after 10 years will be $1,179

Answer:

To be able to approximate the sampling distribution with a normal model, it is needed that $np \geq 10$ and $n(1-p) \geq 10$ , and both conditions are satisfied in this problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will make payments on time, or they won't. The probability of a person making the payment on time is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The sampling distribution can be approximated to a normal model if:

$np \geq 10$ and $n(1-p) \geq 10$

Based on past experience, a bank believes that 8.9 % of the people who receive loans will not make payments on time.

This means that $p = 0.089$

The bank has recently approved 220 loans.

This means that $n = 220$

What must be true to be able to approximate the sampling distribution with a normal model?

$np = 220*0.089 = 19.58 \geq 10$

$n(1-p) = 220*0.911 = 200.42 \geq 10$

To be able to approximate the sampling distribution with a normal model, it is needed that $np \geq 10$ and $n(1-p) \geq 10$ , and both conditions are satisfied in this problem.
