This is an exponential decay problem.

Using the equation Y = a *(1-rate)^time

where Y is the future value given as 12,000 and a is the starting value given as 13,000.

The rate is also given as 5%.

The equation becomes:

12,000 = 13,000(1-0.05)^x

12,000 = 13,000(0.95)^x

Divide each side by 13000:

12000/13000 = 0.95^x/13000

12/13 = 0.95^x

Use the natural log function:

x = ln(12/13) / ln(0.95)

x = 1.56 years. ( this will equal 12,000

Round to 2 years it will be less than 12000.

79% of 67 miles is what?
vovangra [49]
To do it without a calculator:

10% of 67 is 6.7
6.7 x 8 is 53.6 (80%)
1% of 67 is .67
53.6 - .67 is 52.93 (79%)

A treatment is administered to a sample of n = 9 individuals selected from a population with a mean of µ = 80 and a standard dev
stepan [7]

Answer:

a) M =82

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s study this as a Normal distribution.

As we know in a normal distribution the z score is = (X-μ)/(sd/sqrt(n))

where

X = mean for the taken sample = What we want to know in this problem

μ = Total population mean =80

sd= standard deviation= 12

n = sample size=9

So in this case z=( X-80)/(12/sqr(9))= (X-80)/4

also we know that the effect size taken by the machine is 0.5, which is the same as the z-score

so...

0.5 = (X-80)/4 => 0.5*4 = X-80

2+80 = X

X = 82

A boutique prices merchandise by adding 80%. It later decreases by 25% the price of items that do not sell quickly. Does the ord
k0ka [10]
The order you apply the adjustments does make a difference because the percents that are applied will be applied to different amount.  

For example, 80% of 100 = $80.  The price would be $180.

Decreasing this by 25% 25% of 180 = $45; 180-45 = $135.  

25% of 100 is not the same as 25% of 180.

A Ferris wheel has a radius of 10 m, and the bottom of the wheel passes 1 m above the ground. If the Ferris wheel makes one comp
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

y = 11 - 10cos(0.1\pi t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose at t = 0 the person is 1m above the ground and going up

Knowing that the wheel completes 1 revolution every 20s and 1 revolution = 2π rad in angle, we can calculate the angular speed

2π / 20 = 0.1π rad/s

The height above ground would be the sum of the vertical distance from the ground to the bottom of the wheel and the vertical distance from the bottom of the wheel to the person, which is the wheel radius subtracted by the vertical distance of the person to the center of the wheel.

y = h_g + d_b = h_g + R - d_c (1)

where h_g = 1 is vertical distance from the ground to the bottom of the wheel, d_b is the vertical distance from the bottom of the wheel to the person, R = 10 is the wheel radius, d_c is the vertical distance of the person to the center of the wheel.

So solve for d_c in term of t, we just need to find the cosine of angle θ it has swept after time t and multiply it with R

d_c = Rcos(\theta(t)) = Rcos(\omega t) = 10cos(0.1\pi t)

Note that d_c is negative when angle θ gets between π/2 (90 degrees) and 3π/2 (270 degrees) but that is expected since it would mean adding the vertical distance to the wheel radius.

Therefore, if we plug this into equation (1) then

y = h_g + R - d_c = 1 + 10 - 10cos(0.1\pi t) = 11 - 10cos(0.1\pi t)
