The interest rate is 7.69%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Interest = $200

Time = t = 30 months

Time will be converted into years as the rate is applied yearly

So,

1 year = 12 months

30 months = 30/12 years = 2.5 years

Principal amount = $1040

The formula for interest is:

$I = P*r*t$

Putting the values

$200 = 1040 * r * 2.5\\200 = 2600r\\r = \frac{200}{2600}\\r = 0.076923$

Converting into percentage:

r = 7.6923

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

r = 7.69%

Hence,

The interest rate is 7.69%

Which expressions are equivalent when m = 1 and m = 4? 5 m minus 3 and 2 m 5 m 3 m 4 and m 4 2 m 2 m 7 and 3 m minus 3 m 5 m 3 a

emmasim [6.3K]

The expressions that are equivalent when m = 1 and m = 4 is;

Option B: 3m + 4 and m + 4 + 2m

We are given m = 1 and m =4;

A) 5m - 3 and 2m + 5 + m

B) 3m + 4 and m + 4 + 2m

C) 2m + 7 and 3m - 3 + m

D) 5m + 3 and 4m + 2 + 2m

For option B; 3m + 4 and m + 4 + 2m

Let's put m = 1

3(1) + 4 = 7

Also, 1 + 4 + 2(1) = 7

Similarly, let us put 4 for m to get;

3(4) + 4 = 16

Also, 4 + 4 + 2(4) = 16

In both cases, the expressions are equivalent and as such option B is the right one.

When plotting sample statistics on a control chart, 99.7% of the sample statistic values are expected to fall within plus/minus

Blababa [14]

Answer:

By the Empirical Rule, $\pm 3\sigma$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

The symbol of a standard deviation is $\sigma$ . So

When plotting sample statistics on a control chart, 99.7% of the sample statistic values are expected to fall within plus/minus how many sigma?

By the Empirical Rule, $\pm 3\sigma$
