Answer:

The interest rate on the account is 2.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest is one that is added to the initial capital and on which new interests are generated. Money, in this case, has a multiplier effect because interest produces new interest. In other words, the initial capital increases in each period because the interests add up.

To calculate the final capital, the initial capital is multiplied by one plus the interest, raised to the number of periods:  

A=P*(1+\frac{r}{n}) ^{n*t}

where

  • A = Accumulated amount (principal + interest)
  • P = Principal amount
  • r = the interest rate
  • n = the number of times the interest is compounded per year
  • t = Time Involved in years

In this case:

  • A = $3,439.96
  • P = $3,104.31
  • r = ?
  • n = 4
  • t = 5

Replacing, you get:

3,439.96=3,104.31*(1+\frac{r}{4}) ^{4*5}

Now, solving:

\frac{3,439.96}{3,104.31} =(1+\frac{r}{4}) ^{20}

\sqrt[20]{1.1081}  =(1+\frac{r}{4})

1.00514 =1+\frac{r}{4}

1.00514 -1=\frac{r}{4}

0.00514=\frac{r}{4}

r=0.0051*4

r= 0.02056

In percentage it is expressed as: r= 2.056 %≅ 2.1 %

In a statewide lottery, one can buy a ticket for $1. With probability .0000001, one wins a million dollars ($1,000,000), and wit
Dahasolnce [82]

Using the expected value, it is found that the mean of the distribution equals $0.1.

  • The expected value, which is the mean of the distribution, is given by <u>each outcome multiplied by it's probability</u>.

The probabilities of <u>each outcome</u> are:

  • .0000001 probability of earning $1,000,000.
  • .9999999 probability of earning $0.

Thus, the mean is given by:

E(Y) = 0.0000001(1000000) + 0.9999999(0) = 0.1

Thus showing that the expected value is $0.1.

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

You do 38/3x+3 and 19/x+7 and then cross mulitply and get 57x+57=38x+266. Then yoy subtract 57 from 266 and get 57x=38x+209. Now you have to subtract 38 from 57 and then answer will be 19. So now you have 19x=209. Finally you divide 209 by 19 and get x=11. Good luck!

Joy wants to buy strawberries and raspberries to bring to a party. Strawberries cost $1.60 per pound and raspberries cost $1.75
zimovet [89]

Answer: 1.60x + 1.75y is less than or equal to 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the strawberries cost $1.60 per pound, it would be x pounds times $1.60 for the total cost of strawberries. Since the raspberries cost $1.75 per pound, it would be y pounds times $1.75 for the total cost of the raspberries. The total cost of both, or 1.60x + 1.75y, must be equal to or less than 10 because she cannot spend over 10 dollars.
