Answer: it is 1.004 times better

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $p represent the Initial amount invested into the account. Assumimg p = $1000

Let t represent the number of years for which $p was invested. Assuming t = 3 years

r = rate of investment = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

Let A represent the total amount in the account at the end of t years.

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

1) if the investment is compounded 6 times per year, then

n = 6

A = 1000(1+0.06/6)^6 × 3

A = 1000(1.01)^18

A = 1196.15

2) if the investment is compounded yearly, then

n = 1

A = 1000(1+0.06/1)^1 × 3

A = 1000(1.06)^3

A = $1191.016

Therefore,

1196.15/1191.016 = 1.004

The investment that is compounded 6 times per year is 1.004 times better that that compound yearly at the same rate and time

A random sample is selected from a population with mean μ = 102 and standard deviation σ = 10. For which of the sample sizes wou
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Since we can't assume that the distribution of X is the normal then we need to apply the central limit theorem in order to approximate the \bar X with a normal distribution. And we need to check if n>30 since we need a sample size large as possible to assume this.

\bar X \sim N (\mu ,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} )

Based on this rule we can conclude:

a. n = 14 b. n = 19 c. n = 45 d. n = 55 e. n = 110 f. n = 440

Only for c. n = 45 d. n = 55 e. n = 110 f. n = 440 we can ensure that we can apply the normal approximation for the sample mean

for n=14 or n =19 since the sample size is <30 we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the sample mean is normally distributed

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that for a random variable X we have the following parameters given:

\mu = 102, \sigma =10

Since we can't assume that the distribution of X is the normal then we need to apply the central limit theorem in order to approximate the \bar X with a normal distribution. And we need to check if n>30 since we need a sample size large as possible to assume this.

\bar X \sim N (\mu ,\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} )

Based on this rule we can conclude:

a. n = 14 b. n = 19 c. n = 45 d. n = 55 e. n = 110 f. n = 440

Only for c. n = 45 d. n = 55 e. n = 110 f. n = 440 we can ensure that we can apply the normal approximation for the sample mean

for n=14 or n =19 since the sample size is <30 we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the sample mean is normally distributed
