Answer:

75 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

35 times 2= is 70

so 6 cm is 70

plus 5 for the .5

so 70+5= 75

A trust fund worth $25,000 is invested in two different portfolios, this year, one portfolio is expected to earn 5.25% interest

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The amount of money that should be invested at the rate of 5.25% is $12,000 and the amount money that should be invested at the rate of 4% is $13,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$I=P(rt)$

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

Let

x ------> the amount of money that should be invested at the rate of 5.25%

25,000-x -----> the amount money that should be invested at the rate of 4%

in this problem we have

$t=1\ year\\ P_1=\$x\\P_2=\$(25,000-x)\\r_1=0.0525\\r_2=0.04\\I=\$1,150$

substitute in the formula above

$I=P_1(r_1t)+P_2(r_2t)$

$1,150=x(0.0525*1)+(25,000-x)(0.04*1)$

Solve for x

$1,150=0.0525x+1,000-0.04x$

$0.0525x-0.04x=1,150-1,000$

$0.0125x=150$

$x=\$12,000$

$|$25,000-x=\$13,000$

therefore

The amount of money that should be invested at the rate of 5.25% is $12,000 and the amount money that should be invested at the rate of 4% is $13,000

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{2.326(1.1)}{0.07})^2 =1336.006 \approx 1337$

So the answer for this case would be n=1337 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=1.1$ represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =0.07 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

The critical value for 98% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formula to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.01;0;1)", and we got $z_{\alpha/2}=2.326$ , replacing into formula (b) we got:
