Answer:

<u>After a Week(7 days)</u>

Purse \:A: \$2200\\Purse B: \$0.64

<u>After 2 Weeks(14 days)</u>

<u />Purse \:A: \$3600\\Purse B: \$81.92<u />

<u>After 3 Weeks(21 days)</u>

<u />Purse \:A: \$5000\\Purse B: \$10485.76<u />

<u>After 30 days</u>

<u />Purse \:A: \$6800\\Purse B: \$5368709.12<u />

Therefore, Purse B contains more money after 30 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Purse A</u>

The amount of money($1000) in purse A for each consecutive day grows with $200. The sequence is written as:

1000,1200,1400,...

This is an arithmetic sequence with the first term being $1000 and the common difference $200.

Therefore, for any number of day, n, the amount of money in the purse,

T_n=1000+200(n-1)

<u>Purse B</u>

1 Penny=$0.01

The amount of money(1 Penny) in purse B for each consecutive day doubles. The sequence is written as:

0.01,0.02,0.04,...

This is a geometric sequence with the first term being $0.01 and the common ratio 2.

Therefore, for any number of day, n, the amount of money in  purse B,

T_n=0.01(2)^{n-1}

<u>After a Week(7 days)</u>

Purse \:A: T_7=1000+200(7-1)=\$2200\\Purse B: T_7=0.01(2)^{7-1}=\$0.64

<u>After 2 Weeks(14 days)</u>

<u />Purse \:A: T_{14}=1000+200(14-1)=\$3600\\Purse B: T_{14}=0.01(2)^{14-1}=\$81.92<u />

<u>After 3 Weeks(21 days)</u>

<u />Purse \:A: T_{21}=1000+200(21-1)=\$5000\\Purse B: T_{21}=0.01(2)^{21-1}=\$10485.76<u />

<u>After 30 days</u>

<u />Purse \:A: T_{30}=1000+200(30-1)=\$6800\\Purse B: T_{30}=0.01(2)^{30-1}=\$5368709.12<u />

Find the y coordinate of the y intercept.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x+3) = (x+3)^2 - 4

factor (x+3)^2 using the formula (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

= x^2 + 6x + 9 - 4

= x^2 + 6x + 5

y-int : 5

A survey of 1060 randomly selected US teens ages 13 to 17 found that 605 of them say they have made a new friend online
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all US teens who have made a new friend online is (0.55, 0.60).

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A survey of 1060 randomly selected US teens ages 13-17 found that 605 of them say they have made a new friend online.  Find and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the proportion, p, of all US teens who have made a new friend online.

Solution:

In a sample of 1060 randomly selected US teens ages 13 to 17, 605 said they have made a new friend online.

Compute the sample proportion of US teens ages 13 to 17 who said they have made a new friend online as follows:

\hat p=\frac{605}{1060}=0.571

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for population proportion is:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 90% confidence interval is:

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.10/2}=z_{0.05}=1.645

*use a z-table.

Compute the 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all US teens who have made a new friend online as follows:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

     =0.571\pm 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.571(1-0.571)}{1060}}\\=0.571\pm 0.025\\=(0.546, 0.596)\\\approx (0.55, 0.60)

Thus, the 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all US teens who have made a new friend online is (0.55, 0.60).
