The probability that a student is taking both math and computer science is option B) 11%.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given that,

The probability that a student is taking math alone = 23%.

The probability that a student is taking computer science alone = 45%.

The probability that a student is taking math or computer science = 58%.

<u>To find the probability that a student is taking both math and computer science :</u>

We use the formula P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

Here,

P(math ∪ computer) = P(math) + P(computer) + P(math or computer)

⇒ 23% + 45% - 58%

⇒ 10%

Therefore, 10% is the probability that a student is taking both math and computer science.

We can choose option B) 11% as the correct answer since it is nearest to the 10%.

Explain the error a student is asked to find when the value of an investment of $5200 is an account that earns 4.2% annual inter
zloy xaker [14]

We are given the following information

Investment = $5200

Annual interest rate = 4.2% = 0.042

Final amount = $16,500

Number of years = 27.7 years

Number of compoudings = quartely = 4

The student uses the following model

V(t)=5200(1.014)^{3t}

The general formula for compound interest is given by

V(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

As you can see, the number of compoundings is incorrect (3 vs 4)

The interest rate is also incorrect.

Let us substitute the given values into the above formula

\begin{gathered} V(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \\ V(t)=5200(1+\frac{0.042}{4})^{4\cdot27.7} \\ V(t)=5200(1+0.0105)^{110.8} \\ V(t)=5200(1.0105)^{110.8} \\ V(t)=\$16543.5^{} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the final amount is approximately $16,543.5
