Answer:

  d.  None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the sequence of deposits is ...

  month 0: $400

  month 1: $200

  month 2: $200

...

  month 240: $200 . . . . accumulated interest is determined at this point

That is, no interest is earned on the last deposit.

_____

The value of the initial $400 deposit after 20 years at 2.15% interest compounded monthly is ...

  $400×(1 +.0215/12)^(12×20) = $400×1.536666 ≈ $614.67

The value of the $200 annuity at the same interest rate is ...

  $200((1 +.0215/12)^(12×20) -1)/(.0215/12) = $200×299.534612 ≈ $59,906.92

So, the total account value is ...

  $614.67 +59,906.92 = $60521.59

The total amount deposited was ...

  $400 +$200×240 = $48,400

The interest earned is the difference between the account value and the total of deposits:

  $60,521.59 -48,400 = $12,121.59 . . . . interest earned

This value does not match any numerical answer choice, so we conclude the appropriate answer is ...

   None of the above

Michelin Tire Company wishes to set a minimum mileage guarantee on its new MX100 tire. Tests reveal the mean mileage is 67,900 w
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The minimum guaranteed mileage is  x = 71489.55

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mean is  \mu  =  67900

     The standard deviation is  \sigma =  2050

Generally for the probability to be 4% the minimum guaranteed mileage is evaluated as

    P( X  \ge x ) =1-  P( \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{ x -  67900 }{ 2050}  ) = 0.04

\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma }  =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ X )

     P( X  \ge x ) =1-  P( Z

=>  P( X  \ge x ) = P( Z

=>    z = \frac{ x -  67900 }{ 2050}

From the z table, the critical value corresponding to 0.96 to the left of the curve is  

         z = 1.751

So

        1.751 = \frac{ x -  67900 }{ 2050}

=>     x = 71489.55

To what expression must 5a square-4a+3 be added to make the sum zero??​
pychu [463]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive inverse of (5a² - 4a + 3) should be added to make them zero

(5a² - 4a + 3) + (-5a² + 4a - 3)=   <u>5a² - 5a² </u>  <u>- 4a + 4a</u>    <u>+ 3  - 3</u>

                                              = 0

Gianna is preparing for the upcoming tennis season. According to her schedule, she can complete at most 10 workouts this week. I
Fantom [35]
For this case we have the following variables:
 x = the number of drill-based workouts
 y = the number of conditioning workouts
 The system of equations that adapts to the situation is:
 "According to her schedule, she can complete at most 10 workouts this week":
 x + y <= 10
 "It takes Gianna 45 minutes to complete her drill-based workouts and 30 minutes to complete her conditioning workouts. She is required to spend more than 450 minutes on workouts every week"
 45x + 30y> 450
 Answer:
 
A system of inequalities can that be used is:
 
x + y <= 10
 
45x + 30y> 450
