Answer:
Between 12.614 years and 16.386 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean age (μ) = 14.5 years, standard deviation (σ) = 4.6 years, number o sample (n) and the confidence interval (c) = 90% = 0,9
α = 1 -c = 1 -0.9 = 0.1
The z score of is the same as the z score of 0.45 (0.5 - 0.05). This can be gotten from the probability distribution table. Therefore:
The margin of error (e) = =
The interval = μ ± e = 14.5 ± 1.886 = (12.614 ,16.386)
Answer:
Collin: about $401 thousand
Cameron: about $689 thousand
Step-by-step explanation:
A situation in which doubling time is constant is a situation that can be modeled by an exponential function. Here, you're given an exponential function, though you're not told what the variables mean. That function is ...
In this context, P0 is the initial salary, t is years, and d is the doubling time in years. The function gives P(t), the salary after t years. In this problem, the value of t we're concerned with is the difference between age 22 and age 65, that is, 43 years.
In Collin's case, we have ...
P0 = 55,000, t = 43, d = 15
so his salary at retirement is ...
P(43) = $55,000(2^(43/15)) ≈ $401,157.89
In Cameron's case, we have ...
P0 = 35,000, t = 43, d = 10
so his salary at retirement is ...
P(43) = $35,000(2^(43/10)) ≈ $689,440.87
___
Sometimes we like to see these equations in a form with "e" as the base of the exponential. That form is ...
If we compare this equation to the one above, we find the growth factors to be ...
2^(t/d) = e^(kt)
Factoring out the exponent of t, we find ...
(2^(1/d))^t = (e^k)^t
That is, ...
2^(1/d) = e^k . . . . . match the bases of the exponential terms
(1/d)ln(2) = k . . . . . take the natural log of both sides
So, in Collin's case, the equation for his salary growth is
k = ln(2)/15 ≈ 0.046210
P(t) = 55,000e^(0.046210t)
and in Cameron's case, ...
k = ln(2)/10 ≈ 0.069315
P(t) = 35,000e^(0.069315t)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
First of all we will take any real number x different from 0, -2, +2 as dividing by 0 is not allowed and then we can write
because we know that
Hope this helps.
