Answer: 1 year and 4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for continuously compounded interest is

A = P x e (r x t)

Where

A represents the future value of the investment after t years.

P represents the present value or initial amount invested

r represents the interest rate

t represents the time in years for which the investment was made.

e is the mathematical constant approximated as 2.7183.

From the information given,

P = 8000

r = 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

A = 8327

Therefore,

8327 = 8000 x 2.7183^(0.03 x t)

8327/8000 = 2.7183^(0.03t)

1.040875 = 2.7183^(0.03t)

Taking log of both sides, it becomes

Log 1.040875 = log 2.7183^(0.03t)

0.0174 = 0.03tlog2.7183

0.0174 = 0.03t × 0.434 = 0.01302t

t = 0.0174/0.01302

t = 1.336

0.336 × 12 = 4.032

Therefore, the money waa in the account for 1 year and 4 months

Suppose the line of best fit is being found for some data points that have an r-value of 0.657. If the standard deviation of the
oksian1 [2.3K]
We are given a line with the following data:

r-value = 0.657 (r)
standard deviation of x-coordinates = 2.445 (Sx)
standard deviation of y-coordinates = 9.902 (Sy)

We are asked to find the slope of the line up to 3 decimal places.

To find the slope of the line, based on the data that we have, we can use this formula:

slope, b = r * (Sy / Sx) 

substitute the values to the formula:

b = 0.657 * ( 9.902 / 2.445 )

Solve for the b.

Therefore, the slope of the line is 

b = 2.66078, round off to three decimal places:

b = 2.661 is the slope of the line.
