Christine has always been weak in mathematics. Based on her performance prior to the final exam in Calculus, there is a 65% chan

ce that she will fail the course if she does not have a tutor. With a tutor, her probability of failing decreases to 35%. There is only a 75% chance that she will find a tutor at such short notice. a. What is the probability that Christine fails the course? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

0.49

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply conditional probability to solve this question.

We have Events X and Events Y

P(X) = Probability Christine fails the course = ??? Unknown

P(Y) = Probability Christine finds a tutor

= 0.35

P(Y') = Probability Christine does not find a tutor = 1 - 0.35 = 0.75

P(X|Y) = Decrease in her probability of failing = 0.35

P(X|Y') = Probability that she will fail the course if she does not have a tutor

P(X) = P(X|Y) × P(Y) + P(X|Y') × P(Y')

P(X) = 0.35 × 0.75 + 0.65 × 0.35

P(X) = 0.2625 + 0.2275

P(X) = 0.49

The probability that Christine fails the course is 0.49

Answer:

The volume of the fish tank is 48000 cubic centi meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a Cuboid is l*b*h (length*breadth*height)

Here,

length(l) =60 cm

breadth(b)= 20 cm

height(h)=40 cm

Volume=l*b*h

Volume= 60cm*20cm*40cm

Volume= 48000 cubic centimeter

Ashley deposits $10 000 at the end of each month for 6 times at rate of 5% compounded monthly. How much will be in her account
xz_007 [3.2K]

The future values of Ashley's periodic deposits under the five scenarios are stated in the deposit table as follows:

<h3>Deposit Table:</h3>

Item     Initial       Periodic      Deposit    Interest    Future Value    Interest

         Deposit     Deposit        Period        Rate                                    ($)

a.      $10,000     $10,000     6 months        5%        $61,774.51      $1,774.51

b.     $10,000     $10,000     3 months        5%      $30,502.78       $502.78

c.      $10,000    $10,000     6 months        5%        $51,774.51     $1,522.42

d.    $20,000    $10,000      6 months       5%        $72,201.71     $2,201.71

e.   $10,000     $10,000     6 months       5%/6%  $60,803.78       $803.78

<h3>What is the future value?</h3>

The future value of a periodic investment represents the present value of cash flows compounded at an interest rate into the future.

The future value is computed using the FV formula or factor.

It can also be computed using an online finance calculator as follows:

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Periodic Deposit = $10,000

Investment period = 6 months

Interest rate = 5% compounded monthly

<h3>a) for illustration:</h3>

N (# of periods) = 6 months

I/Y (Interest per year) = 5%

PV (Present Value) = $0

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $10,000

<u>Results</u>:

FV = $61,774.51

Sum of all periodic payments = $60,000 ($10,000 x 6)

Total Interest = $1,774.51

<h3>Other Special Cases:</h3>

c) Interest on $10,000 for 3 months is $1,522.42 ($1,774.51 - $252.09).

d)                             Future Value      Interest

5% with $20,000   $82,285.04    $2,285.04

5% with  $10,000     (10,083.33)          (83.33)

Total for 6 months   $72,201.71     $2,201.71

e)                            Future Value       Interest

5% for 3 months    $30,502.78       $502.78

6% for 3 months     $30,301.00       $301.00

Total for 6 months $60,803.78      $803.78

Show that every triangle formed by the coordinate axes and a tangent line to y = 1/x ( for x &gt; 0)
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given a point (x_0,y_0) the equation of a line with slope m that passes through the  given point is

y-y_0 = m(x-x_0) or equivalently

y = mx+(y_0-mx_0).

Recall that a line of the form y=mx+b, the y intercept is b and the x intercept is \frac{-b}{m}.

So, in our case, the y intercept is (y_0-mx_0) and the x  intercept is \frac{mx_0-y_0}{m}.

In our case, we know that the line is tangent to the graph of 1/x. So consider a point over the graph (x_0,\frac{1}{x_0}). Which means that y_0=\frac{1}{x_0}

The slope of the tangent line is given by the derivative of the function evaluated at x_0. Using the properties of derivatives, we get

y' = \frac{-1}{x^2}. So evaluated at x_0 we get m = \frac{-1}{x_0^2}

Replacing the values in our previous findings we get that the y intercept is

(y_0-mx_0) = (\frac{1}{x_0}-(\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0)) = \frac{2}{x_0}

The x intercept is

\frac{mx_0-y_0}{m} = \frac{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}x_0-\frac{1}{x_0}}{\frac{-1}{x_0^2}} = 2x_0

The triangle in consideration has height \frac{2}{x_0} and base 2x_0. So the area is

\frac{1}{2}\frac{2}{x_0}\cdot 2x_0=2

So regardless of the point we take on the graph, the area of the triangle is always 2.
