Answer:

P(B)= 0.305

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

This exercise is an application of conditional probabilities.

You know that the definition of a conditional probability is:

P(A/B) = \frac{P(AnB)}{P(B)}

And

The probability of A occuring, given that B has already ocurred is P(A/B)= 0.61

The probability of A and B ocurring at the same time is P(A∩B)= 0.5

You can clear the probability of B from the equation:

P(B)= P(A/B)*P(A∩B)= 0.61*0.5= 0.305

I hope you have a SUPER day!

Paul deposited $95,000 in a savings account that pays 4% interest compounded daily. What is his balance at the end of six months
Arada [10]

Answer:

\$96,919.02  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

t=6/12=0.5\ years\\ P=\$95,000\\ r=4\%=4/100=0.04\\n=365  

substitute in the formula above  

A=95,000(1+\frac{0.04}{365})^{365*0.5}  

A=95,000(1+\frac{0.04}{365})^{182.5}=\$96,919.02
