Answer:

(a) The probability that <em>Y</em>₂₀ exceeds 1000  is 3.91 × 10⁻⁶.

(b) <em>n</em> = 28.09

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>Y</em>ₙ is defined as the total numbers of dollars paid in <em>n</em> years.

It is provided that <em>Y</em>ₙ can be approximated by a Gaussian distribution, also known as Normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation of <em>Y</em>ₙ are:

\mu_{Y_{n}}=40n\\\sigma_{Y_{n}}=\sqrt{100n}

(a)

For <em>n</em> = 20 the mean and standard deviation of <em>Y</em>₂₀ are:

\mu_{Y_{n}}=40n=40\times20=800\\\sigma_{Y_{n}}=\sqrt{100n}=\sqrt{100\times20}=44.72\\

Compute the probability that <em>Y</em>₂₀ exceeds 1000 as follows:

P(Y_{n}>1000)=P(\frac{Y_{n}-\mu_{Y_{n}}}{\sigma_{Y_{n}}}>\frac{1000-800}{44.72})\\=P(Z>  4.47)\\=1-P(Z

**Use a <em>z </em>table for probability.

Thus, the probability that <em>Y</em>₂₀ exceeds 1000  is 3.91 × 10⁻⁶.

(b)

It is provided that P (<em>Y</em>ₙ > 1000) > 0.99.

P(Y_{n}>1000)=0.99\\1-P(Y_{n}

The value of <em>z</em> for which P (Z < z) = 0.01 is 2.33.

Compute the value of <em>n</em> as follows:

z=\frac{Y_{n}-\mu_{Y_{n}}}{\sigma_{Y_{n}}}\\2.33=\frac{1000-40n}{\sqrt{100n}}\\2.33=\frac{100}{\sqrt{n}}-4\sqrt{n}  \\2.33=\frac{100-4n}{\sqrt{n}} \\5.4289=\frac{(100-4n)^{2}}{n}\\5.4289=\frac{10000+16n^{2}-800n}{n}\\5.4289n=10000+16n^{2}-800n\\16n^{2}-805.4289n+10000=0

The last equation is a quadratic equation.

The roots of a quadratic equation are:

n=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

a = 16

b = -805.4289

c = 10000

On solving the last equation the value of <em>n</em> = 28.09.

What in mathematics is a linear equation?

  • A linear equation is a first-order (linear) term plus a constant in the algebraic form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
  • Sometimes, the aforementioned is referred to as a "linear equation of two variables," where x and y are the variables.

50 × 24% = 12

50 × 14%= 7

12+ 7 = 19

50+75 = 125

19 ÷125= 15.2%

Reika [66]

Answer:

-47 Feet

Step-by-step explanation:

He is 47 feet below sea level, so he would be at -47 feet. If you are asking how deep he is, then it would be just positive 47 feet.
