7/8 divided by 3/10 =x

copy dot flip

7/8 * 10/3

70/24

divide top and bottom by 2

35/12

35 divided by 12 =2 with 11 left over

2 11/12

He can make 2 serving with  11/12 left over

You wish to compute the 99% confidence interval for the population proportion. How large a sample should you draw to ensure that
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.13}{2.58})^2}=98.47  

And rounded up we have that n=99

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.13 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

We assume the value for \hat p =0.5 since we don't have previous info. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.13}{2.58})^2}=98.47  

And rounded up we have that n=99

Joe is considering taking out along with the principal of $15,500 From one of two banks. Bank A charges and interest rate of 6%,
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total cost of the loan at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount taken as loan.

Considering bank A's offer

From the information given,

P = $15500

r = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

t = 8 years

Therefore,

A = 15500(1 + 0.06/12)^12 × 8

A = 15500(1 + 0.005)^96

A = 15500(1.005)^96

A = $25019.2

The interest paid is

25019.2 - 15500 = $9519.2

Considering bank B's offer

From the information given,

P = $15500

r = 6.5% = 6.5/100 = 0.065

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

t = 7 years

Therefore,

A = 15500(1 + 0.065/12)^12 × 7

A = 15500(1 + 0.0054)^84

A = 15500(1.0054)^84

A = $24366

The interest paid is

24366 - 15500 = $8866

The interest that would by paid on bank B's offer is lower than that of bank A and the duration of the loan offer from bank B is shorter than that of bank A.

Therefore,

Bank A gives you more time to pay up the loan and you end up paying more interest

Bank gives you lesser time to pay up the loan and you end up paying lesser interest.
