An=a1r^(n-1)

given
a5=1/24
a10=1/768

we know that
a5=1/24=a1r^(5-1) and
a10=1/768=a1r^(10-1)

so
1/24=a1r^4
1/768=a1r^9

(a1r^9)/(a1r^4)=r^5=(1/768)/(1/24)=1/32

r^5=1/32
take 5th root of both sides
r=1/2

we have
a5=a1r^4=1/24
evaluate r^4 or (1/2)^4
1/16
a1(1/16)=1/24
times both sides by 16/1
a1=16/24
a1=2/3

the first term is 2/3

Sallie Woo worked these hours last week: Monday, 10; Tuesday, 8 1/4; Wednesday, 9 1/2; Thursday, 6; Friday, 8; Saturday, 5. Sall
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Her pay for the week= $ 611.325

Step-by-step explanation:

Sallie is paid $ 11.40 per hour for regular hours.

The total regular hours worked during the week are

Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday + Thursday+ friday = 8 + 8+ 8+6+8= 38 hours

She works overtime during the week

Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday = 2+ 1/4+  1 1/2=  2+ 1/4 + 3/2

= 8 +1+ 6/4=15/4 = 3 3/4 hours

Over the weekend she works five hours .

So the total pay would be

$ 11.40( 38 ) + $ 11.40( 1.5) (  15/4) + $ 11.40 ( 2) ( 5)

= 433.2 + 64.125 + 114.0

= $ 611.325

Jensen Tire & Auto is in the process of deciding whether to purchase a maintenance contract for its new computer wheel align
sasho [114]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The given data corresponds to the variables

Y:  Annual Maintenance  Expense ($100s)

X: Weekly Usage  (hours)

n= 10

∑X= 253; ∑X²= 7347; \frac{}{X}= ∑X/n= 253/10= 25.3 Hours

∑Y= 346.50; ∑Y²= 13010.75; \frac{}{Y}= ∑Y/n= 346.50/10= 34.65 $100s

∑XY= 9668.5

a)

To estimate the slope and y-intercept you have to apply the following formulas:

b= \frac{sumXY-\frac{(sumX)(sumY)}{n} }{sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} } = \frac{9668.5-\frac{253*346.5}{10} }{7347-\frac{(253)^2}{10} }= 0.95

a= \frac{}{Y} -b\frac{}{X} = 34.65-0.95*25.3= 10.53

^Y= a + bX

^Y= 10.53 + 0.95X

b)

H₀: β = 0

H₁: β ≠ 0

α:0.05

F= \frac{MS_{Reg}}{MS_{Error}} ~~F_{Df_{Reg}; Df_{Error}}

F= 47.62

p-value: 0.0001

To decide using the p-value you have to compare it against the level of significance:

If p-value ≤ α, reject the null hypothesis.

If p-value > α, do not reject the null hypothesis.

The decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

At a 5% significance level you can conclude that the average annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine is modified when the weekly usage increases one hour.

b= 0.95 $100s/hours is the variation of the estimated average annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine is modified when the weekly usage increases one hour.

a= 10.53 $ 100s is the value of the average annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine when the weekly usage is zero.

c)

The value that determines the % of the variability of the dependent variable that is explained by the response variable is the coefficient of determination. You can calculate it manually using the formula:

R^2 = \frac{b^2[sumX^2-\frac{(sumX)^2}{n} ]}{[sumY^2-\frac{(sumY)^2}{n} ]} = \frac{0.95^2[7347-\frac{(253)^2}{10} ]}{[13010.75-\frac{(346.50)^2}{10} ]} = 0.86

This means that 86% of the variability of the annual maintenance expense of the computer wheel alignment and balancing machine is explained by the weekly usage under the estimated model ^Y= 10.53 + 0.95X

d)

Without usage, you'd expect the annual maintenance expense to be $1053

If used 100 hours weekly the expected maintenance expense will be 10.53+0.95*100= 105.53 $100s⇒ $10553

If used 1000 hours weekly the expected maintenance expense will be $96053

It is recommendable to purchase the contract only if the weekly usage of the computer is greater than 100 hours weekly.

Determine how long it will take for a principal amount of $13,000 to double its initial value when deposited into an account pay
bezimeni [28]

Compound interest can be defined as the interest <em>on a deposited amount, an investment</em> that is <em>compounded based on its principal and interest rate.</em>

It will take about 3.239 years for the principal amount of $13,000 to double its initial value.

From the above question, we can deduce that we are to find the time "t"

The formula to find the time "t" in compound interest is given as:

t = ln(A/P) / r

where:

P = Principal = $13,000

R = Interest rate = 21.4%

A = Accumulated or final amount

From the question, the Amount "A" is said to be the double of the principla.

Hence,

A = $13,000 x 2

= $26,000

  • Step 1: First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 21.4/100

r = 0.214 per year.

  • Step 2: Solve the equation for t

t = ln(A/P) / r

t = ln(26,000.00/13,000.00) / 0.214

t = 3.239 years

Therefore, it will take about 3.239 years for the principal amount of $13,000 to double its initial value.
