Answer:
The doubling time of this investment would be 9.9 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
The appropriate equation for this compound interest is
A = Pe^(rt), where P is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal fraction, and t is the elapsed time in years.
If P doubles, then A = 2P
Thus, 2P = Pe^(0.07t)
Dividing both sides by P results in 2 = e^(0.07t)
Take the natural log of both sides: ln 2 = 0.07t.
Then t = elapsed time = ln 2
--------- = 0.69315/0.07 = 9.9
0.07
The doubling time of this investment would be 9.9 years.
The expression is equivalent to 49/8.
It is A) skewed left because the long tail in the box plot is on the left hand side. The mean is also on the left hand side of the peak so it is skewed left.
Hope this helps :)
