At first glance, this problem might be overwhelming so try approaching it slowly by doing these steps:

Step 1: Start by understanding what the problem is really asking.
You might notice that the problem is just a percentage problem, with a twist! If you still don't see it, the problem is just asking what the base should be given a percentage and the amount.

Step 2: Recall the concepts relevant to the question.
We can identify a single formula that will be important in getting the answer:
base*percent=amount

Step 3: Apply the concept to the context of the problem.
You'll see that we already have the percent from the interest rate which is 0.02% and the amount from the below-minimum-balance fee which is $9.99.

There goes the little twist: you have to manipulate the equation to get the base. Dividing both sides of the equation by the percent we'll have:
base= \frac{amount}{percent}

Step 4: Evaluate to get the answer to the problem.
We simply substitute the given numbers and evaluate.
base= \frac{percent}{amount}= \frac{9.99}{0.0002} =49,950

Answer: You need $49,950 in the account to cover the Below-Minimum-Balance Fee from your interest.

<u>Answer:</u>

$50,000

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given;

the interest rate per annum = 0.02%

Time = 1 year

P = ?

SI = $ 9.99 ≈ $10

We know the formula for simple interest = P x R x T/100

Therefore, substituting the values of SI, R and T into this formula to get:

10 = P x 0.02 x 1/100

P = 10 / 0.0002 = 50000

P = $50,000

Therefore, a minimum of $50,000 is to be kept in the account for 1 year to earn enough interest.

What single decimal multiplier would you use to increase by 4% followed by a 3% increase
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

1.0712

Step-by-step explanation:

if you increase by 4%, it means you will have a new total of 104%. In decimals it is 1.04 (divide your percentage by 100) after that you do the same with the 3% increase. you'll have a new total of 103%. In decimals 1.03. If you want to know what single multiplier you can use, you need to multiply the both decimals. So you get 1.04 x 1.03 = 1.0712

hope this will help you, have a nice day!

PLEASE HELP ASAP
maria [59]

Answer:

First option:  3x^2-5x=-8

Second option: 2x^2=6x-5

Fourth option: -x^2-10x=34

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite each equation in the form ax^2+bx+c=0 and then use the Discriminant formula for each equation. This is:

D=b^2-4ac

1) For 3x^2-5x=-8:

 3x^2-5x+8=0

Then:

D=(-5)^2-4(3)(8)=-71

Since D this equation has no real solutions, but has two complex solutions.

2) For 2x^2=6x-5:

 2x^2-6x+5=0

Then:

D=(-6)^2-4(2)(5)=-4

Since D this equation has no real solutions, but has two complex solutions.

3) For 12x=9x^2+4:

 9x^2-12x+4=0

Then:

D=(-12)^2-4(9)(4)=0

Since D=0 this equation has one real solution.

4) For -x^2-10x=34:

 -x^2-10x-34=0

Then:

D=(-10)^2-4(-1)(-34)=-36

Since D, this equation has no real solutions, but has two complex solutions.

According to the empirical (69-95-99.7) rule, if a random variable z has a standard normal distribution, then approximately 95%
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Using z-scores, it is found that the value of z is z = 1.96.

-----------------------------

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula, which for a measure X, in a distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, is given by:  

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.
  • Each z-score has an associated p-value, which is the percentile.

  • The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that the middle 95% is between the <u>2.5th percentile and the 97.5th percentile</u>.
  • The 2.5th percentile is Z with a p-value of 0.025, thus Z = -1.96.
  • The 97.5th percentile is Z with a p-value of 0.975, thus Z = 1.96.
  • Thus, the value of Z is 1.96.
