Answer:

£6911 is the smallest amount Cynthia should invest to get £8000 after three years

Step-by-step explanation:

lets Assume that amount needs to invested for three years = £ x

Rate of Interest = R = 5% per year

Duration in years = n = 3 year

Amount expected after three years when compounded annually =  A = £8000

Formula for Amount of compound interest annually is a follows

A = P( 1 + R/100)^n

In our case Principal P = x , Amount A = 8000 , R = 5% and n = 3( since compounded annually). On substituting these values in above formula we get

8000 = x ( 1 + 5/100)^3

⇒8000 = x ( 105/100)^3

⇒8000 = x ( 21/20 )^3

⇒(8000 × 20 × 20 × 20)/(21×21×21) = x

⇒x = 6910.70≈6911

Hence £6911 is the smallest amount Cynthia should invest to get £8000 after three years

2. The prices of several different cereals are given below. Find the mean, median, mode, MAD, and IQR of these values. Which mea
Maru [420]

Mean = $ 4. 72

Median = $ 4. 5

Mode = No mode

MAD = $ 4. 8

IQR = $ 0. 5

Measure of center = $ 4. 5

Measure of variability = $ 2. 50

<h3>How to determine the values</h3>

Given the data;

$3.50, $4.25, $6, $4.75, $5.80, $4

Mean = sum of data/ number of data values

Mean = \frac{3. 50 + 4. 25 + 6 + 4. 75 + 5. 80 + 4}{6}

Mean = $ 4. 72

Median is the number in the center when the data is arranged in an ascending order

$3. 50, $4, $4. 25, $4. 75, $5. 80, $6

Median = \frac{4. 25 + 4. 75}{2}

Median = $ 4. 5

Mode is the number with the highest repeats.

From the given data, none of the numbers was repeated.

Thus, there is no mode.

MAD, mean absolute deviation = |data value - mean|

MAD = |(3. 50 - 4. 72) + (4. 25 - 4. 72) + (6 - 4. 72) + (4. 75 - 4. 72) + (5. 80 - 4.72) + (4- 4. 72) |

MAD = 1. 22 + 0. 47 + 1. 28 + 0. 03 + 1. 08 + 0. 72

MAD = $ 4. 8

IQR, interquartile range = Quartile 3 - quartile 1

IQR = 4. 75 - 4. 25

IQR = $0. 5

Note that  the mean and median are the most common measures of center.

A measure of variability is a single number that is  used to describe the spread of a data set

The measure of the center best for the data is the median = $4. 5

Measure of variability = range = highest value - lowest value = $6 - $3. 50 = $2. 50
