Answer:

(a) 8.15

(b) 12.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P = $3000, r = 0.085

                A = Pe^{rt}

Where

A is the Amount

P is the Principal

r is the rate

t is the time

(a) For the amount to double, A = 2 × P

               A = 2 × $3000

               A = $6000

               6000 = 3000e^{0.085t}

               \frac{6000}{3000} = e^{0.085t}

               2 = e^{0.085t}

Take log_{e} of both sides

               log_{e}2 = log_{e}e^{0.085t}

But log_{e}e = 1

            ∴ ln2 = 0.085t

               t = \frac{ln2}{0.085}

               t = \frac{0.693}{0.085}

               t = 8.15

(b) For the amount to double, A = 3 × P

               A = 3 × $3000

               A = $9000

               9000 = 3000e^{0.085t}

               \frac{9000}{3000} = e^{0.085t}

               3 = e^{0.085t}

Take log_{e} of both sides

               log_{e}3 = log_{e}e^{0.085t}

But log_{e}e = 1

            ∴ ln3 = 0.085t

               t = \frac{ln3}{0.085}

               t = \frac{1.0986}{0.085}

               t = 12.92

Find the midpoint of AB for: A(7,0)|and B(0,3)​
liberstina [14]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf (\frac {7}{2}, \frac{3}{2}) \ or \ (3,5, 1.5) }}

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is essentially a point with the average of the 2 x-coordinates and the 2 y-coordinates.

The formula is:

(\frac {x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

We are given two points: A (7,0) and B (0, 3). Remember points are written as (x, y).

Therefore,

x_1= 7 \\y_1=0 \\x_2=0 \\x_2=3

Substitute the values into the formula.

(\frac {7+0}{2}, \frac{0+3}{2})

Solve the numerators first.

(\frac {7}{2}, \frac{3}{2})

The midpoint can be left like this because the fractions are reduced, but it can be written as decimals too.

A production process is checked periodically by a quality control inspector. the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 f
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Population Mean = 2.0

Population Standard deviation = 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the inspector selects simple random samples of 30 finished products and computes the sample mean product weight.

Also, test results over a long period of time show that 5% of the values are over 2.1 pounds and 5% are under 1.9 pounds.

Now, mean of the population is given the average of two extreme boundaries because mean lies exactly in the middle of the distribution.

So,   Mean, \mu = \frac{1.9+2.1}{2} = 2.0

Therefore, mean for the population of products produced with this process is 2.

Since, we are given that 5% of the values are under 1.9 pounds so we will calculate the z score value corresponding to a probability of 5% i.e.

             z = -1.6449 {from z % table}

We know that z formula is given by ;  

                Z = \frac{Xbar - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

              -1.6449 = \frac{1.9 - 2.0}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }     ⇒  \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }  = \frac{-0.1}{-1.6449}  

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.0608 * \sqrt{30}  {as sample size is given 30}

                                           ⇒ \sigma = 0.03 .

Therefore, Standard deviation for the population of products produced with this process is 0.0333.
