According to a 2010 study conducted by the Toronto-based social media analytics firm Sysomos, 71% of all tweets get no reaction.

That is, these are tweets that are not replied to or retweeted (Sysomos website, January 5, 2015). Suppose we randomly select 100 tweets. a). What is the expected number of these tweets with no reaction? b). What are the variance and standard deviation for the number of these tweets with no reaction?

Answer:

a) the expected number of tweets with no reaction is 71 tweets

b) the variance is 20.59 tweets² ( ≈ 21 tweets )and the standard deviation is

4.537 tweets (≈ 5 tweets)

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the binomial probability distribution

P(x, N, p ) = N!/[(N-x)!x!] * p^x * (1-p)^(N-x)

where

x = number of successful events

N = population total

p = probability for success for every individual and independent event

P = probability for x successful events

in our case p = 71% = 71/100 (probability of a tweet without reaction) , N = 100 tweets

a) the expected number of tweets

E(x) = N* p = 100 tweets * 71/100 = 71 tweets

b) the variance is

V(x) = N * p * (1-p)

V = 100 * 71/100 * (1-71/100) = 71* 29/100 = 20.59 tweets² ( units of variance are [N²] )

the standard deviation is

s = √V = √20.59 tweets² = 4.537 tweets

If $1,000 is invested at 4% simple interest, how much will the investment be worth after 2 years? Please explain how compound an
Novay_Z [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • simple interest: $1080.00
  • compounded annually: $1081.60
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<em>Simple Interest</em>

Simple interest is computed on the principal amount only. Each year, 4% of the principal is added to the balance. So, at the end of 2 years, the balance is ...

... $1000 + 0.04×$1000 + 0.04×$1000

... = $1000×(1 + 0.04×2) = $1000×1.08

... = $1080.00

_____

<em>Comment on the computation</em>

The added interest is the rate (per year) multiplied by the number of years. Here, that is 0.04×2×(principal amount). The formula for the simple interest earned is often seen as ...

... I = Prt . . . . . where I is the amount of interest, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate for the time period, t is the number of time periods.

The account balance (A) with interest added is ...

... A = P + I = P + Prt

... A = P(1 +rt)

Here, the time period is years, and the rate given is an annual rate.

____

<em>Compound Interest</em>

Compound interest is computed on the <em>account balance</em> at the beginning of the period, not just the <em>principal</em> amount. After the first period, the account balance includes interest earned so far. So, the interest is earning interest. That is why it is called compounded interest.

Here, the balance at the end of the first year is the principal amount plus the interest that has earned:

... $1000 + 0.04×$1000 = $1000×1.04 = $1040.00

The balance at the end of the second year when the interest is compounded is this account balance plus the interest it earns:

... $1040 + 0.04×$1040 = $1040×1.04 = $1081.60

You may notice that the intial principal, $1000, has been multiplied by the factor 1.04 twice. Using exponents, the multiplier for a period of 2 years is 1.04×1.04 = 1.04².

_____

<em>Comment on the computation</em>

The multiplier of the account balance each year is raised to a power that is the number of years. Here, the account balance at the end of 2 years is (1+0.04)² times the principal amount. A formula that is seen for this is ...

... A = P(1 +r)^t . . . . . where A is the final account balance, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate for the time period, and t is the number of time periods.

Divide 7/24 by 35/48 and reduce the quotient to the lowest fraction
Ahat [919]
Well, an easier way than to divide fractions is to multiply the fractions, but to do that, flip the numerator and denominator for the second fraction.
For example, it becomes:    7               48          2
                                      --------   ×     --------  = ---------  (top×top & bottom×bottom)
                                        24              35           5

Answer is: 2/5
