Height=height at first(1+rate)^n
n=years

The height of this oak will be:
Data:
height at first=60 cm
rate=8%=8/100=0.08

height=60(1+0.08)^n=60(1.08)^n

The height of this conifer will be:
Data:
height at first=50 cm
rate=15%=15/100=0.15

height=50(1+0.15)^n=50(1.15)^n

The heights of both trees will be the same at n years, therefore:
60(1.08)^n=50(1.15)^n

Now, we can solve this logarithmic equation.
Ln[60(1.08)^n]=Ln[50(1.15)^n]
Ln 60+n*Ln 1.08=Ln 50+n*Ln 1.15
n*ln 1.08-n*Ln 1.15=Ln 50-Ln 60
n(ln 1.08-ln 1.15)=Ln 50-Ln 60
n=(Ln 50 - Ln 60) / (Ln1.08 - Ln 1.15)
n=2.90316784...≈2.9

Answer: 2.9 years.

Assume that blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 123 and a standard deviation of 9.6. If 144 people a
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The probability is 0.9938

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the probability that the mean blood pressure readings of a group of people is less than a certain reading.

To calculate this, we use the z score.

Mathematically;

z = (mean - value)/(standard deviation/√N)

From the question, we can identify that the mean is 125, the value is 123 , the standard deviation is 9.6 and N ( total population is 144)

Let’s plug these values;

z = (125-123)/(9.6/√144) = 2.5

Now we proceed to calculate the probability with a s score less than 2.5 using statistical tables

P(z<2.5) = 0.9938

We can use elimination for these set of systems.
First, we need to set up our variables.
Belts=b
Hats=h
Now, the situation is 6 belts and 8 hats for $140. The situation after is 9 belts and 6 hats for $132.
Let’s set up our system of equations.
6b+8h=140
9b+6h=132
We need to eliminate a variable. Since b has coefficients of 6 and 9, we can easily eliminate b by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom by -2.
18b+24h=420
-18b-12h=-264
Now let’s add.
12h=156
Let’s divide to get h by itself.
156/12=13=h
So a hat costs $13. We need to put in 13 for one of the equations so we can find the cost of a belt.
9b+6(13)=132
9b+78=132
We need b by itself.
9b=54
54/9=6
Belts are $6
We can also use the first equation to check our answers.
6(6)+8(13)
36+104
140.
So, the price of a belt is $6 while the price of a hat is $13.
