Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For the person to get to New York city, the person must arrive at a time after the train to Boston has left and before the train to New York leaves. Between 7 and 8 am, there is a total of 60 minutes. For the person end up in New York city he has to arrive at the train station between the following intervals:

7:05 to 7:15 or 7:20 to 7:30 or 7:35 to 7:45 or 7:50 to 8:00

Let X represent the minutes the passenger arrives between 7 am to 8 am, hence:

P(goes to New York) = P(5 < X < 15) + P(20 < X < 30) + P(35 < X < 45) + P(50 < X < 60) = 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 = 40/60 = 2/3

b) As explained in part A, Let X represent the minutes the passenger arrives between 7 am to 8:10 am. But since time uniformly distributed between 7:10 and 8:10 am, this means 10 < X < 70:

For the person end up in New York city he has to arrive at the train station between the following intervals:

7:10 to 7:15 or 7:20 to 7:30 or 7:35 to 7:45 or 7:50 to 8:00 or 8:05 to 8:10

P(goes to New York) = P(10 < X < 15) + P(20 < X < 30) + P(35 < X < 45) + P(50 < X < 60) + P(65< X <70)= 5/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 10/60 + 5/60= 40/60 = 2/3

You and your friend are comparing two loan options for a $165,000 house. Loan 1 is a 15-year loan with an annual interest rate o
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

No, he is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the total payment of a loan after t years,

A=P(1+r)^t

Where,

P = present value of the loan,

r = rate per period ,

n = number of periods,

Given,

P = $165,000,

In loan 1 :

r = 3% = 0.03, t = 15 years,

So, the total payment of the loan is,

A_1 = 165000(1+0.03)^{15}=165000(1.03)^{15}\approx \$ 257,064.62

In loan 2 :

r = 4% = 0.04, t = 30 years,

So, the total payment of the loan is,

A_2 = 165000(1+0.04)^{30}=165000(1.04)^{30}\approx \$ 535,160.59

Since, A_1 < A_2

Hence, total amount repaid over the loan will be less for Loan 1.

That is, the friend is wrong.
