Helena has taken out a $9,300 unsubsidized Stafford loan to pay for her college education. She plans to graduate in four years.

The loan has a duration of ten years and an interest rate of 6.4%, compounded monthly. By the time Helena graduates, how much greater will the amount of interest capitalized be than the minimum amount that she could pay to prevent interest capitalization? Round all dollar values to the nearest cent.

The effective annual interest rate is:
i = (1 + 0.064/12)^12 - 1 = 0.066
In year 1: the interest is $613.80 (multiple $9300 by 0.066)
In year 2: the interest is $654.31 (add interest from year 1 to $9300 and multiply by 0.066)
In year 3: the interest is $656.98 (do the same as year 2)
In year 4: the interest is $657.16

The total interest is: $2582.25
The present worth of this amount is:
P = 2582.23 / (1 + 0.066)^4 = $1999.72

The answer is $1999.72.

A professor at a local community college noted that the grades of his students were normally distributed with a mean of 84 and a
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

A. P(x>91.71)=0.10, so the minimum grade is 91.71

B. P(x<72.24)=0.025 so the maximum grade could be 72.24

C. By rule of three, 200 students took the course

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem says that the grades are normally distributed with mean 84 and STD 6, and we are asked some probabilities. We can´t find those probabilities directly only knowing the mean and STD (In that distribution), At first we need to transfer our problem to a Standard Normal Distribution and there is where we find those probabilities. We can do this by a process called "normalize".

P(x<a) = P( (x-μ)/σ < (a-μ)/σ ) = P(z<b)

Where x,a are data from the original normal distribution, μ is the mean, σ is the STD and z,b are data in the Standard Normal Distribution.

There´s almost no tools to calculate probabilities in other normal distributions. My favorite tool to find probabilities in a Standard Normal Distribution is a chart (attached to this answer) that works like this:

P(x<c=a.bd)=(a.b , d)

Where "a.b" are the whole part and the first decimal of "c" and "d" the second decimal of "c", (a.b,d) are the coordinates of the result in the table, we will be using this to answer these questions. Notice the table only works with the probability under a value (P(z>b) is not directly shown by the chart)

A. We are asked for the minimum value needed to make an "A", in other words, which value "a" give us the following:

P(x>a)=0.10

Knowing that 10% of the students are above that grade "a"

What we are doing to solve it, as I said before, is to transfer information from a Standard Normal Distribution to the distribution we are talking about. We are going to look for a value "b" that gives us 0.10, and then we "normalize backwards".

P(x>b)=0.10

Thus the chart only works with probabilities UNDER a value, we need to use this property of probabilities to help us out:

P(x>b)=1 - P(x<b)=0.10

P(x<b)=0.9

And now, we are able to look "b" in the chart.

P(x<1.28)=0.8997

If we take b=1.285

P(x<1.285)≈0.9

Then

P(x>1.285)≈0.1

Now that we know the value that works in the Standard Normal Distribution, we "normalize backwards" as follows:

P(x<a) = P( (x-μ)/σ < (a-μ)/σ ) = P(z<b)

If we take b=(a+μ)/σ, then a=σb+μ.

a=6(1.285)+84

a=91.71

And because P(x<a)=P(z<b), we have P(x>a)=P(z>b), and our answer will be 91.71 because:

P(x>91.71) = 0.1

B. We use the same trick looking for a value in the Standard Normal Distribution that gives us the probability that we want and then we "normalize backwards"

The maximum score among the students who failed, would be the value that fills:

P(x<a)=0.025

because those who failed were the 2.5% and they were under the grade "a".

We look for a value that gives us:

P(z<b)=0.025 (in the Standard Normal Distribution)

P(z<-1.96)=0.025

And now, we do the same as before

a=bσ+μ

a=6(-1.96)+84

a=72.24

So, we conclude that the maximum grade is 72.24 because

P(x<72.24)=0.025

C. if 5 students did not pass the course, then (Total)2.5%=5

So we have:

2.5%⇒5

100%⇒?

?=5*100/2.5

?=200

There were 200 students taking that course

What is the answer to +1 + -4=
ahrayia [7]

The answer is -3.

If we add positive one/+1 to negative four/-4, we subtract +1 from -4, giving us -3.
