Answer: The correct option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

You begin a job with an annual salary of $32,900

Each year you are assured of a 5.5%. If you get the same amount each year, that is a 100% payment. It is neither reducing nor increasing. But with an increase of 5.5% each year, it means you are getting (100+5.5)% each year. This equals 105.5%. So for each year, you get 105.5% of the previous year.

This is a geometric progression. To determine the total amount that you can earn in 15 years, we will find the sum of 15 terms, S15 of the series. The formula for sum of the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Sn = [a(r^n - 1)] / r - 1

Where

Sn = sum of the nth terms of the series

a = the first term(salary of the first year

r = common ratio

n = number of years.

From the question,

a = 32900

n = 15

r = 105.5/100 = 1.055

S15 = [32900(1.055^15 - 1)] / 1.055 - 1

S15 = [32900(2.23247649224 - 1)] / 0.055

S15 = [32900 × 1.23247649224] / 0.055

S15 = $737245

Using the scale 1/2 inch = 100 miles, figure out the number
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

  50 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the given scale numbers by 1/2 to find your answer:

  1/2 in = 100 mi

  (1/2)(1/2 in) = (1/2)(100 mi) . . . . multiply the ratio values by 1/2

  1/4 in = 50 mi

According to the graph above,what is the unit rate of a human's heartless per minute​
kari74 [83]

The unit rate for the graph above is 60 heartbeats per minute. Half of 2 is 1 so go to the 1 min. mark and go up until you reach the line graph and it says 60. Do the same for the 2 min. mark and go up until you reach the line graph and it'll say 120. 60 ÷60=1 and 120 ÷ 60= 2

If you help me i will love you
blagie [28]
You must first normalize this in order to use a Z-score table. To convert what you have into a Z score you must use this formula: (x- mean) /standard deviation. In your case (334-310)/12=2. So now you want the probability that a score is greater than 334, which in turn means you want P(Z>2)=1-P(Z<2)=1-.9772=0.0228=2.28%.
